IRISH WEDDING GIFTS FOR A NEW HOME

Royal Tara Claddagh Ring Mug Set ($24.95)

The Claddagh design is a favorite among newlyweds, symbolizing love, loyalty, and friendship. These two mugs by Royal Tara feature detailed Celtic knotwork in the style the company is known for, with a large central Claddagh ring comprised of two hands holding a heart and topped with a crown. Even the handle forms a heart shape for an extra bit of clever design that only adds to the sense of love and devotion represented by these mugs.

Royal Tara Irish Blessing Mug Set ($29.95)

Sometimes the sweetest time of the day is sharing a cup of tea (or coffee) with your beloved—and the Royal Tara Irish Blessing Mug Set can make that cup even more sweet. These bone china mugs not only have colorful Celtic knots and traditional-style artwork painted on them, but they also feature a famous Irish blessing that will add a depth of sweetness to each cup. Each mug holds a generous 14 ounces—a truly proper cup of tea.

Belleek Classic Shamrock Ring Holder ($45.00)

If you’ve ever had to work with your hands, you may notice that a good ring holder is often overlooked. It gets risky when you are looking for a safe place to store your rings when you’re washing dishes, cooking in the kitchen, or working with generally messy items.

This ring holder from Belleek’s master artisans provides an elegant and practical addition to any wedding registry. The design reinforces the theme of good luck—not only does the tray itself take the form of a shamrock, but the embossed and hand-painted shamrock details are sure to wish good fortune to anyone who is lucky enough to use it.

Belleek Classic Saint Patrick’s Cross Ornament ($35.00)

If you love Belleek pottery, the Classic Saint Patrick’s Cross Ornament may be a good option for a wedding gift, as well. This beautiful ornament features Belleek’s classic white pottery with subtle hand-embossed detailing that recalls the artwork of ancient Irish brooches (like those St. Patrick may have worn on his travels across the Emerald Isle). Along with the elegant embossing, the ornament also features hand-painted shamrock details, so each ornament is one-of-a-kind and tied closely to Irish heritage and culture.

Celtic Stained Glass Home Blessing ($23.99)

If you’re looking for a gift that offers a little something unusual yet adds a touch of brilliance, a stained glass plaque may be exactly what you’re looking for. The Irish Stained Glass Home Blessing features traditional artwork with Celtic and Trinity knots and the phrase “God bless our home” in calligraphy reminiscent of the script found in traditional Irish manuscripts. With bright shades of green, red, and yellow, it is an eye-catching piece.

Ornate Fáilte Stained Glass ($22.99)

Of course, if the home blessing isn’t quite your newlyweds’ style, there are other stained glass pieces that are just as lovely. The Ornate Fáilte Stained Glass panel features shamrocks in vibrant green against a yellow background, with the Irish word for “welcome”—Fáilte—prominently emblazoned in green. This cheerful glass ornament is more welcoming than a door mat and provides a glowing warmth when it reflects light through its vibrant colored panels, reminiscent of the elegant stained glass windows of classic churches.

Kinsale Shamrock Table Runner ($44.99)

Table dressings like tablecloths and runners add a dash of sophistication to any setting. The Kinsale Shamrock Table Runner also adds a luxurious splash of Ireland to the dining room. Not only will it protect your table from accidental spills and splatters, but it looks great doing it. This lovely neutral runner is accented with embroidered shamrock sprigs at each corner, calling to mind the green hills of Ireland and the story of St. Patrick. It also comes in multiple sizes, so you’re sure to find the right one to fit your table.

Charles Gallen Natural Damask Tea Towels ($28.99)

Tea towels are always a popular choice of wedding gifts, with good reason. They are extremely useful in cleaning up spills, handling hot pots or plates, and (of course) drying dishes. A versatile set of tea towels is always welcome, and these beautiful towels from Charles Gallen are sure to be a hit. This extremely durable set features subtle harps, Celtic crosses, shamrock wreaths, and Celtic knots that shine in the light against the soft matte background. Not only that, but the neutral colors will perfectly complement any color scheme your newlyweds choose for their new home.

If you’re looking to match this as a set of linens, you can pair these tea towels with a set of Damask napkins that match and are just as durable and easy to clean as the towels. These tea towels also pair nicely with the tablecloth below.

Guinness Embossed Gravity Glasses ($19.95)

If you’re not into sharing a cup of tea, you might be into raising a pint—and no one does it better than Guinness.

Easily recognizable, quintessentially Irish, these glasses are a perfect addition to any glassware set.

Belleek Classic Shamrock Sandwich Tray ($45.00)

This sandwich tray bears all the hallmarks of a classic piece of Belleek fine china. With scalloped edges, a basket weave motif, and hand-painted shamrocks in the corners, this tray is an exceptional way to display a plate of hors d’oeuvres for a special occasion.
