As Mother’s Day is fast approaching in a few days on March 14th many of us are wondering during this lockdown where we can we get something thoughtful but useful for our Mums while the usual shopping destinations are closed.
Here are a few quick ideas for thoughtful gift vouchers with good Irish businesses that will also greatly appreciate your support! Most of these are emailed E-Gift cards which are a great for this lockdown!... they’re so quick and handy to email directly to your Mum or loved one in another county or country to surprise them if you can’t visit, and there’s no postage fee! All you need to do is purchase directly on their website (go to the Gift section or Google ‘E Gift Card and name of the store), and the gift card will be emailed directly to you (between minutes or a maximum of two days). You can then simply email it to your Mum or print out the gift card to put in a card for your Mum on Sunday if you’re lucky to be able to see her. She can then use it to either buy online or use in the store whenthey open again. All of these companies also sell traditional Physical gift cards that can be delivered directly to you or your Mum’s address and the average postage fee is approx. €6 to €7.
I love the Burren Perfumery candles and organic balms and creams they create that are inspired by the beautiful and mystical Burren landscape around them like the Frond collection (see below). This family run company have a beautiful range of products and gift packs including a Fragrance Discovery Gift Pack. You can also get an E-Gift card by email from them directly starting at €25 to €200. They ship to anywhere in Ireland and Northern Ireland (the UK is planned for future) Burren Perfumery €50 Gift Card – The Burren Perfumery
Kilkenny Design offer E-Gift Card. They have a great comprehensible website with a wide range of beautiful Irish products from organic skincare (see Rathbornes new collection below) to pretty jewellery, colourful Springtime clothes, accessories, pretty home décor items and a great range of books.
If you order physical products directly it takes 3-5 working days, shipping charge is €5.99 and free when you spend over €59 (within Ireland) so the E Gift card is much quicker with no postage! E-Gift Cards -Gift Idea | Kilkenny Shop
Over the last decade Blarney Woollen Mills have developed a stylish range of scarves, wraps, handbags and jewellery including Newgrange, Tipperary and Killarney crystal ranges. I love the quality of their warm and cosy colourful wool scarves (see below), sporty jackets (for our Irish weather) and stylish but cosy cardigans (brands include Fisherman, Helly Hansen, Steillman, D.E.C.K and Avoca Mills). I’ve always got great wear out of any piece I’ve ever bought in their Bunratty store over the years and I think your Mum will always find something to please her there too!

I love the variety of Irish designers and quality craftmanship offered by Seoidin in Ennis, Limerick and Skerries. Inspired by Ireland, it’s landscapes and stories, they also have a beautiful range of antique gemstone rings. Shop for Jewellery Online with a Seoidin Digital Gift Card – Seoidín
