Our Top 10 Irish Gifts for Mother's Day

Celebrate a mother’s love

For Mothers Everywhere

Mom, step-mom, grandma, godmother, mother-in-law, and those who’ve been like a mother to us. That’s a lot of women! And they have all helped shape our lives and the people we have become. It’s no wonder we dedicate a day to honoring who they are and just what they mean to us.

If the mom you’re shopping for has Irish roots then our gifts will have special meaning. From our beautiful Celtic jewelry to our stylish homeware you’ll find something unique and special — brought to you from Ireland with love.

Here’s our Top 10 Gifts for Mother’s Day.

1. Steeped in tradition

The Claddagh is the traditional Irish symbol for love, loyalty and friendship. All the elements that make a strong family. Crafted in sterling silver, this is a timeless gift that will be treasured by any mom with Irish roots.

2. The entertainer

If mom loves to entertain then she will love our beautiful handmade linens from Circle Vivendi. The Celtic range carries a delicate pattern inspired by The Round Tower of Clondalkin and in crisp white with hues of blue and green. The intricate designs are often found on Irish dancing costumes but look just as stunning on a table runner.  Check out the bright and bold Sunflower collection and the Old Street Lamps of Dublin collection too.

3. Mom’s got style

For a touch of luxury, you can’t beat a 100% silk scarf. These long silk scarves are the creation of Meab and Clair, a mother and daughter team who hand craft silk and enamels in their studio workshop in the midlands of Ireland. Their unique process, which melts glass enamel onto copper, produces amazingly vibrant colors and patterns. Each scarf is a work of art. Beautifully presented in a special gift box.  

4. A mother’s love

Who doesn’t love a scented candle? Anyone who has been to Ireland will remember the smell of soft rain, the countryside, the Atlantic mist, and the fireside. Our hand-poured candles capture these scents of Ireland in a beautiful package. The collection includes an exclusive candle called Grá Máthair — Irish for “A Mother’s Love’. Pair it with one of our other candles for a lovely gift set for Mother’s Day. Or light it in remembrance.

5. A special bond

Nothing says ‘I love you’ like a Celtic knot. But not all knots are equal! If you want something exclusive then check out our Baileo Celtic knot. Created by Irish jewelry designer Miriam Wade, it is a contemporary take on a traditional knot and is evocative of love, connection and family.

This Celtic knot pendant is available in two sizes (regular and petite) along with stud or drop earrings. You’ll find these and more in our Jewelry collection.

6. Cool and contemporary

If mom loves beautifully simple design, you can’t go wrong with a stylish piece of Irish pottery. These contemporary handcrafted ceramic designs by Diem Pottery in County Meath reflect the colorful hues of the Irish landscape. Mix it up with a set of different colors — the carafe and vase make a lovely pair or splash out and add the condiment set too (it’s great for dippy dinners!)

7. The gift of a snuggle

How about the softest throw ever? As one of Ireland’s oldest woollen mills, the Cushendale Mill has been hand weaving unique items for six generations. From the subtle check patterns in green and yellow to solid pinks and blues, each throw is inspired by the Irish countryside and cherished landmarks. Pair a throw with one of the Cushendale tweed and velvet cushions for their special snuggle spot.

8. Mom’s a treasure

Inspired by the iconic Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland, this bracelet makes a real statement. A rare piece of Irish rose gold from County Tyrone is surrounded by sterling silver links shaped like the unusual stones of the Causeway. Pair with the matching pendant for a truly unique and special gift, just like mom.

9. A unique connection

Le Chéile (which means ‘Together’ in Irish) is a beautiful, contemporary collection from Irish jewelry designer Miriam Wade. Made of sterling silver with interlinked geometric shapes of triangles and squares, each piece signifies connection and togetherness. A lovely way to celebrate the special relationships in our lives.

10. Don’t forget the dog

We love our dogs here at Baileo and that’s why we love this cute paw pendant. Of course everything on Baileo has a story and this pendant is inspired by Bally Shannon, the Irish wolfhound hero of World War I. Available in rose gold color or silver. It’s the perfect gift for the dog mom from the dog!

…and if you still can’t make up your mind
