Give the gift of an afternoon tea.  A bit of Bewley’s Irish Afternoon Tea and delicious butter Irish Shortbread to accompany it are my idea of a perfect break!

Boots are a must have fashion item- and boot socks from Avoca will keep her warm, toasty & stylish!
 

Gifts for Himself

Every good Irish lad needs a kilt.  Spoil him with a Utility Kilt from Kiltman.

 

 
Or make a gift he’s sure to love- Guinness brownies!  This recipe from The Celtic Ranch, accompanied by a bit of the “black stuff” may just be his favorite present!

Gifts for the Ireland Traveler

A jacket from Scottevest is not only attractive, it has load of no-bulky pockets for carrying everything you need!  For the ladies,I personally recommend the Molly Jacket, while my husband loves his Fleece 5.0.  Note: buy one size larger than you wear for layering.

For active vacations- and to protect your items from the rain- I highly recommend the Lowepro Photo Sport Sling.  I love it in orange, but it is also available in black.

A camera tote that is both stylish and functional can be hard to find.  I love my Janine King tote with leather flap.

Give the gift of Irish hospitality with a B&B Ireland gift certificate!  Available in values of 10, 20 & 50 euros, it’s easy to fit your budget!
