Ireland souvenir?

Question

What is a good souvenir to bring home from Ireland?

As a memory for us?

Small gifts for family members?

I've heard things are expensive, so ideas that are not too costly.

Answer 1

claddagh rings....traditional irish rings...cheap, pretty and very irish....and unisex.....heres the website but u can get em in carrolls......http://www.claddaghring.ie/.....maybe a cd of trad music, a book of irish ledgends or rugby jersey/gaa jersey/kiss me, im irish (tho they r sooooo cheesy!!)...carrols has lyk vrythin so check it out!! hope i helped!!

Answer 2

Don't buy anything with a leprechaun etc cos they're all made in China, Taiwan etc.  Try to find a craft/art gallery, there are loads of brilliant ones here with paintings, crafts, jewellery etc by real Irish artists - not plastic Paddy ones!  There's an excellent one in Kilworth, Co. Cork called Fiona Turley's, I get presents for everyone there!  I'm sure there are loads more like this around the country, I just know this one because I live near it.  Basically if you go into a shop and they have anything with leprechauns or shamrocks, run a mile because it's about as Irish as the moon!

Answer 3

4 LEAF CLOVERS OR KEY CHAINS

Answer 7

Lanyards for family members for you a visit to Kissing the blarney stone at blarney castle not to expensive worth the hike up!Maybe a visit to waterford/ Crystal buy something from there Shamrock out of cut crystal or harp both symbols of ireland, another cheap thing is a license plate from an auto dealler or motorcycle dealer easy to carry home.

Answer 8

Fridge magnets and recipe books are a great idea. The only objection I would have to buying those is that the money you pay for them goes to the printers in another country, or to a factory in Taiwan or someplace like that.

I would find a small art gallery and buy an original painting made by an artist based in Ireland.

Answer 9

I get refridgerator magnets!
