Gifts & Jewellery

Gifts & Jewellery

Gift shopping usually starts from one of two positions, either you know the person well and are looking for something specific, or you need something appropriate for an occasion and the field is wide open. The jewellery side answers the first, with necklaces, earrings, bracelets and watches, and it is where a piece can be chosen to mark something rather than simply fill a gap. The giftware side answers the second, taking in candles and diffusers, photo frames, ornaments and sculptures, mug sets, glassware, handbags and travel pieces, which work because they suit most homes and most tastes. Occasion tends to set the budget more than the recipient does, and it is worth deciding whether you want something to be used or something to be kept before you start looking, because those pull in opposite directions.

Irish makers and design names feature strongly through the range, alongside the giftware and homeware brands that turn up at weddings, christenings and Christmas. The main departments underneath are Necklaces, Earrings, Bracelets, Watches, Candles & Diffusers, Photo Frames and Giftware.
