Grandmothers are special people, and they deserve gifts that reflect how much they mean to their families. Irish grandmothers most likely feel pride for their native land. Celtic and Irish presents often contain the images of shamrocks, hearts and claddaghs. Great gifts to give your Irish grandmother can be sentimental, reflecting your family, or religious, or simply thoughtful and fun. Also, common Irish phrases, such as, "May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light," can be incorporated into several types of gifts. - Buy a beautiful silver piece of jewelry with a claddagh symbol for your favorite grandmother. The claddagh symbol has been turned into necklaces, rings, earrings and bracelets. You can also find jewelry that's made into the traditional Celtic trinity knot shape. Celtic jewelry represents the legacy and myths of your family's Celtic ancestors, and Celtic jewelry has a distinct, recognizable design.
- Just as your grandmother has most likely imparted words of wisdom to you, you can pay her back by giving her a gift that has her favorite Irish proverb, blessing or quote depicted. Popular sayings include, "May you live as long as you want, and never want as long as you live," and, "May your neighbors respect you, troubles neglect you, the angels protect you and heaven accept you." These quotes can simply be on a plaque or on a keepsake box.
- Have your family crest mounted on a plaque for your grandmother to display in her home. You can have your family's last name included, as well as photographs or a family tree. Grandmothers love their grandchildren, and you can personalize your gift by giving her a beautiful picture frame with photos of her with her family. So many types of gifts can be personalized, with either your grandmother's name or an image or saying from Ireland. Personalize shirts, mugs, flower pots, gloves and decorative rocks for the garden. Base your gift on your grandmother's interests, and it's sure to be a hit.
