At Gallaghers Gifts, we put relationships and gratitude above all else. Robust relationships yield benefits for everyone; through good times and bad. And yet, we take our friends, family and, at times, ourselves for granted. What if we could change that by reconnecting with the art of special gifting, for special people ?
Even in the midst of our busy lives, chaotic schedules and packed calendars, those of us who manage to take a step back and reflect on the most instrumental people in our lives are said to be the happiest.
Saying 'thank you' often goes beyond mere words, but is enhanced through acts of kindness, tight embraces and meaningful gifts. Our handmade jewellery collection is a great place to start.
Although this list isn't exhaustive, it's a starting point for some ideas into the occasions that provide ample opportunity to display such gratitude. There is simply nothing that compares to a well-balanced complement, a well-timed confession of gratitude or a specially considered gift.
1. An Upcoming Birthday
Birthdays are a perfect occasion to display gratitude and to celebrate the contribution that person makes to your life. These special days only occur once a year - so preparing well in advance is advisable. But not all of us have the time or energy to find that perfect Irish birthday gift. If you're strapped for time, but brimming with enthusiasm to find what many of
our customers have reviewed as the perfect gift for loved ones, Gallaghers would be happy to help. You'll find a wide array of years, throughout the 70s, 80s and 90s that we have on hand and can make to order.
2. Sending a Gift Abroad
If you have an Irish family member or close friend who lives abroad, our selection of gifts will brighten up their day. Similarly, there are Irish diaspora all over the world, from the United States to Australia who have a deep longing for reconnecting with their lineage. Gallaghers provides an opportunity to send an old, upcycled Irish coin abroad so they have a real piece of Ireland with them every step of the way. We believe that distance should not interfere with proximity of the heart.
3. Elevating Your Friend's Wardrobe
Let's face the truth; buying garments and clothes for your friends is difficult. And to a certain extent, gifting jewellery can be even harder. That's why we've focused our efforts toward creating simply timeless pendants that, while providing the glint of sterling silver and shimmer of gold to complete their look, it doesn't over-power the outfit. Gallaghers' handmade pendants are multi-purpose jewellery pieces, perfect for formal and daily use. Elevating your friend's wardrobe has never been easier.
4. A Spontaneous Surprise
Spontaneous surprises are undoubtedly the most exhilarating occasions on this list. A simple gift can change the course of someone's week, reinvigorate friendships and strengthen the bonds between people. Pictured here is Finn, one of our close friends. This picture was taken after braving an evening swim in one of Dublin's miniature harbours, in Dalkey, South Dublin. The icy March waters, followed with the warmth produced from presenting to him one of our most popular pendants was a moment we will reflect on for many interactions to come.
5. Starting A Family Tradition
Finally, we are return to the founding premise of Gallaghers; to continue the legacy of those who came before us. Pictured here is our
Silver Irish Atlantic Pendant, which features a 20 inch, unisex sterling silver chain. It rests in the hands of the man who we look up to each day, Kevin, who has been heralded as the '
Godfather of Irish surfing'. His legacy is herculean - and so is his fashion sense. He has never slowed down, but maintains an innovative and youthful lifestyle. Showing gratitude can and should be
generational.
