Mother’s Day is the perfect excuse to show appreciation for the wonderful women in our lives, whether it’s for your mam, a mother-in-law, a granny, or even yourself! And if you happen to come across something here that you’d love to receive, well, there’s no harm in forwarding this on with a casual “Oh, isn’t this lovely?” (subtlety is overrated). If you’re looking for something unique, handmade, and crafted by Irish makers, we’ve rounded up some gorgeous gifts that will make any mam feel special. Here are some of our top picks.
Studio Eight – Everlasting Floral Artwork
Flowers are always a winner, but if you want something that lasts longer than a week, Studio Eight’s framed dried floral artwork is a stunning alternative. These beautifully arranged blooms are carefully preserved and displayed in elegant frames, bringing a touch of nature indoors. Perfect for mams who love flowers but might not be the best at keeping them alive!
CycleUp – Stylish Cushions with a Story
Who doesn’t love a good cushion? Especially one that comes with a great backstory. CycleUp creates unique, handcrafted cushions from recycled fabric, making them both stylish and sustainable. Whether your mam is a fan of bright colours, soft textures, or simply enjoys some stylish back support! these cushions add comfort with a conscience.
Hubert Bookbindery – Beautifully Bound Floral Notebooks
If your mam loves to jot down her thoughts, keep lists, or doodle away, a beautifully bound notebook from Hubert Bookbindery is a thoughtful gift. With gorgeous floral prints and high-quality craftsmanship, these hardback notebooks are as much a joy to look at as they are to use. Ideal for list-makers, poets, or anyone who still prefers good old-fashioned pen and paper over screens.
Caroline Stokesberry-Lee Jewellery – Aquamarine Halo Pendant
Jewellery is always a classic gift, and this stunning Halo Pendant from Caroline Stokesberry-Lee is no exception. Handcrafted in silver and featuring a delicate aquamarine stone, it’s a piece that’s both elegant and meaningful. Whether your mam is a fan of subtle jewellery or likes to add a bit of sparkle to her outfits, this pendant is a beautiful addition to any collection.
Margaret Rattigan Prints – Vibrant Irish Landscape Prints
For the mam who appreciates a pop of colour on her walls, Margaret Rattigan’s framed and mounted prints are a fantastic choice. Her vivid, bright landscapes capture the beauty of Ireland in a way that feels both familiar and fresh. Whether it’s a striking seascape or a lush countryside scene, these prints bring a little bit of Ireland’s beauty into the home.
Whatever gift you choose, you can be sure that a handmade, Irish-made piece will bring a smile to your mam’s face. And if you happen to pick up something for yourself in the process? Well, that’s just good sense.
