From Cleaning Offices at 5 a.m. to €9,000+ Profit Months

The real story of Eileen Doyle and how Spocket changed everything

Eileen's journey begins

Meet Eileen Doyle, 59

From Raheny, Dublin

Just 18 months ago Eileen was one of thousands of Dublin women who kept the city running before most people were awake. For 32 years she cleaned offices in the IFSC, €410 take-home a week, sore knees, and an alarm clock that felt like punishment.

In January 2024 the contract changed and Eileen was let go. At 58 she suddenly had no job, no plan, and a small redundancy cheque that wouldn't last long.

Then everything changed – with one simple decision and the help of Spocket.

"I only needed three things," Eileen says now.

Spocket

Little Bit of Home

Eileen created a tiny Shopify store called "Little Bit of Home" and used Spocket to source beautiful, authentic Irish gifts – all supplied from warehouses in Ireland and the UK:

  • Hand-knitted Aran hot-water-bottle covers (Donegal design, shipped from Dublin)
  • Real Irish linen handkerchiefs with embroidered shamrocks
  • Barry's Tea gift tins with a free "Love from Ireland" card

Because every product on Spocket comes from EU & UK suppliers, delivery is fast (2–7 days) and customers never wait weeks for parcels from China.

Eileen's success
59-year-old Eileen standing in the doorway of her new bungalow in Clontarf, holding the keys, soft golden evening light, quiet pride on her face.

Today Eileen works in her dressing gown, drinks tea whenever she wants, and has paid off every bill Pat left behind. She even treats the grandchildren without checking her bank balance first.

Peaceful success
Eileen smiling softly at her laptop showing today's orders, cosy bungalow window looking toward Dublin Bay, steam rising from her cup – peaceful, fulfilled.
