Our Top 10 Irish Gifts for Her
For the love of a good Irish woman
For colleens everywhere
Mom, grandma, godmother, mother-in-law, the love of your life or dear friends. That’s a lot of women! And they have all helped shape our lives and the people we have become.
If the woman 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.
In no particular order, here are our Top 10 Gifts for special Celtic women.
1. Love tradition
The ultimate Celtic love symbol is the Claddagh ring but but what do you buy for the woman who already has one.?
This pendant is the perfect match for the ring, it has the same powerful symbolism, “I give you my heart and crown it with my love”. Beautifully crafted by Irish hands and an Irish tradition through the ages.
2. The entertainer
The woman who loves to entertain 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. Love to stand out
For cooler weather, how about some wearable art? Check out these handcrafted felt collars by Jayne Gillan of County Kerry. The colors and designs are stunning, reflecting the blues, greens and heathers of the Irish coastline and mountains. The collars are versatile and can be worn in different ways to dress up an outfit or bring a touch of chic to a simple jacket or sweater.
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 a special candle called Grá Máthair — Irish for “A Mother’s Love’. Pair it with one of our other candles for a lovely gift set.
5. A special bond
Nothing says ‘I love you’ like a Celtic knot. Our bespoke Baileo Celtic knot, by Irish Designer Miriam Wade, is a contemporary take on a traditional knot and is evocative of love, connection and family.
This Celtic 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. She’s got style
If she loves beautifully simple design, you can’t go wrong with a stylish piece of Irish pottery. These contemporary 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,
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. Something to 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.
9. A unique connection
Le Chéile (which means ‘Together’ in Irish) is a beautiful, contemporary collection from jewelry designer Miriam Wade. Made of sterling silver interlinked 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!
