No time like the present to start getting some great gift ideas for Mother’s Day. Here are a few unique products from Shop Irish – one of my favorite online retailers…
Here’s a gift my Mother could have probably used – when six kids were all at home and under the age of 10! If someone had thought of a worry stone for her, she would have probably ordered one in a large, economy size!
This Connemara Marble Worry Stone will let you rub away your worries with this stone of genuine green Connemara marble. Just the right size for pocket or purse.
Made in Ireland.
Here’s a nice gift for Mom – you’ll need to order NOW though to get this personalized and shipped in time for Mother’s Day.
This Personalized Framed “Our Family” Print was written by Gena P. Bettis of Davidson, North Carolina, and was originally offered as a cross stitch design.
Personalization of your family name (up to 15 characters including punctuation if desired) is hand lettered by the artist and creates a lasting family treasure.
Size: 12 x 12 x 1
Allow 2-3 weeks (Just FYI: I’d contact Shop Irish for details if you want this for a May 13th delivery.)

August Treats – Online Shopping
by admin on Aug.01, 2011, under Favorites
August can seem a very long month, and not just because of its 31 days! It is also two to three months into warm weather season – which for most has been hotter than normal this year and on some days, it’s very uncomfortable to move about for almost anything.
Time for a little treat or two you can order online and have show up at your door. What a way to end another long, hot day than to find a package waiting for you when you get home? Not something you needed, but something you just wanted and probably deserved. Each item less than $10 – now that’s a treat!
Here are a few “goodies” ideas from Shop Irish – The Premier web site for Irish gifts, jewelry, clothing and other items.
Turn ordinary toast and scones into a sensational treat with this Delicious Irish Preserves And Honey With An Added Drop! Made in Ireland from Premium fruits and Irish spirits. 8 oz.
This Mileeven Irish Whiskey Marmalade sounds yummy! 8 oz. And who couldn’t enjoy an “added drop?”
A wee bit of blarney – just what you’d expect in every one of these Irish Fortune Cookies!
Irish folksayings and verses entertain the recipients of these delicious fortune cookies. Eight individually wrapped cookies.
Baked in Ireland from the finest ingredients, these Shamrock All Butter Shortbread cookies have an old fashioned melt-in-your-mouth taste. 8 cookies.
Enjoy!

Fortunately in 2010, I found a online merchant who has just about anything I could imagine, ShopIrish.com
I made several purchases from Shop Irish in the last year – one a Merino wool Aran sweater as a gift that has apparently become a wardrobe staple. Can’t do much better than that!
Here are a few unique gift ideas for 2011:
