Irish Gifts

Irish Gifts posts collect short reference pieces on what to bring home from Ireland or send to an Irish friend abroad. Articles look at Aran wool sweaters from Inis Mor, Donegal tweed caps and jackets, Belleek china from Fermanagh, Waterford Crystal, Connemara marble jewellery, Guinness merchandise from the Storehouse shop, Irish whiskey including Redbreast, Powers and Bushmills, Claddagh rings from Galway and Tara brooches modelled on the original at the National Museum in Dublin. There are also short notes on what counts as a tourist souvenir and what is genuinely Irish-made.
