31 Special Souvenirs from Ireland (2026)

Looking for the best souvenirs in Ireland that are unique? Welcome.

Souvenirs from Ireland carry a lot of different authentic, historical themes – Celtic symbols like shamrocks or the trinity knot, comfy wool products, products related to Guinness Beer or Bailey’s Irish cream, products produced from family-owned Irish farms, and much more.

Aside from this, Ireland is a country of magical things- Irish folklore has created many myths and legends which have become iconic to Ireland. After my last two-week visit to Ireland where we arrived after Scotland, I was able to seek out some of the great souvenirs that I missed years before during our first trip to Ireland. I could also see a lot of what made Ireland unique to other countries, like Scotland with a similar heritage. Many of our Irish souvenirs are still proudly hung in our home, or used and appreciated daily. So here you have it – best things to buy in Ireland!

31 Unique Souvenirs from Ireland to Bring Home

You will see a lot of Celtic symbols in Ireland, and there is very commonly jewelry made out of them – necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings. There are a lot of different kinds of Celtic symbols, such as the Trinity, the Celtic knot and the Celtic cross. Before Christianity came to Ireland, the country was mainly inhabited by Celtic people, and a lot of aspects of their culture have remained a part of Irish heritage.

The various types of jewelry with Celtic symbols are iconic to Ireland, a symbol of the country’s personality, heritage and culture. You’ll see Celtic designs in Scotland as well, as they share a similar cultural heritage, but Ireland has a few celtic symbols that are unique to Ireland, such as the shamrock, the cross, and the Claddaugh symbol. You can still visit fortresses in Ireland that were inhabited by the Celtics in ancient times, such as the Staigue Fort in the Ring of Kerry.

Although I can’t pretend to know a lot about Celtic heritage, I am fascinated by this ancient culture and love the symbols. My favourite Celtic symbol is the trinity, and I bought a necklace and earrings of it to bring home from Ireland. My husband also bought me a special ring. Some of these weren’t cheap, because they’re often made of sterling silver. However, you can also find cheap Celtic jewellery made of synthetic materials in souvenir stores.

Since Ireland is a country of sheep, Irish yarn and knitwear also make a very good Irish souvenir. You can find knitware in many shops in Ireland, especially if they sell souvenirs. There is one specifc sheep breed that is native to Ireland – its called the Galway Sheep, and it comes from west Ireland in Galway county.

By buying wool products in Ireland, you are supporting sheep farmers and their livelihood. We visited a sheep farm in Galway who told us about how the practice is slowly dying because synthetic materials and cotton are more common now. Wool is a sustainable clothing material used to make clothing for thousands of years, and sheep aren’t harmed from their wool being taken off. Wool is fully biodegradable, but it’s also durable. Clothing made out of this quality wool can last decades!

You can find wool-based knitware in shops specifically for knitware, or in regular souvenir shops. Just check the label to make sure it’s 100% produced in Ireland, (as opposed to mass-produced and imported from abroad) this is how you know you’re supporting Irish sheep farmers. If you like to knit or know someone who does, you can also buy the Aran Islands yarn on its own.

The Claddagh ring is a traditional Irish ring with three symbols: a heart, a crown and two hands. The symbols represent love, loyalty and friendship. The ring was designed in West Ireland in the 17th century and has been a special gift between Irish for hundreds of years. It’s commonly been given as an engagement ring in Ireland, or a family heirloom passed down through generations.

Claddagh rings, if you’re buying a decent material, aren’t a cheap souvenir – a sterling silver one will cost around $40 USD, while gold ones can cost hundreds of dollars each. If you’d like to buy a Claddagh ring in Ireland, I recommend popping into some jewelry stores to take a look, as there are many different styles these days. They come in white gold, yellow gold or sterling silver. Occasionally, there are emeralds or jewels in them. You can shop for them at the Irish store Claddagh Rings online (they ship to other countries.)

Pro Tip: Some say its bad luck to buy yourself a Claddagh ring, but that’s just a superstition!

Irish blessings are a traditional part of Irish culture and trace back to hundreds of years. Irish blessings are positive and uplifting, expressing love, joy, friendship and hope. They’re found in songs, poems and stories. I found them to be a very big part of Irish souvenirs, and have personally bought a few things with Irish blessings on them.

Irish blessings are just nice to hang up as positive reminders, and they make great souvenirs from Ireland because of their roots in Irish literature and culture. You can find Irish Blessings on notepads, magnets, tea towels or in a frame. I ended up buying a little book of them for €10.

Connemara marble is found on the West Coast of Ireland, in the town of Connemara. The Connemara marble has deep roots in Ireland’s history, having been used for centuries as a means of exchange. Each stone is unique from all the others, so when you buy it, you know that there is no other stone exactly like it!

Connemara marble is considered to be the Irish gemstone and has beautiful swirly patterns. You will see it a lot on souvenirs, especially jewelry (including Claddaugh rings) but also good luck stones and wishing stones. It fits with the Irish fantasy folklore culture.

Check out the Connemara Marble official website for options if this Irish gift idea resonates with you. You can also find some Connemarra marble worry stones on Amazon here

You don’t have to spend too long in Ireland before figuring out that they’re a country of tea-lovers, and have a lot of their own unique Irish tea blends. Irish teas are usually made with a base of Assam black tea, and can be bought in tea bags or in loose-leaf form.

An afternoon ‘cuppa’ is enjoyed by many of the Irish, often with scones, biscuits or a slice of cake. You may have heard of English Breakfast Tea, but there is also an Irish Breakfast Tea, which is stronger-tasting and red in colour. Try to make sure the tea you’re buying is truly an Irish tea brand. The most popular Irish tea company is Barry’s which has been produced in Ireland since 1901. Other brands are Bewley’s, Lyons, and Robert Roberts. In Northern Ireland, you’re more likely to see Nambarrie’s or Thompson’s Punjana

You can find these in Irish supermarkets or souvenir stores. Barry’s Irish tea is also sold on Amazon. You can also find it online or on Amazon. You may also be able to find smaller family-owned tea companies that make their own tea.

One of the iconic symbols of the Ireland is the famous Book of Kells. Since Dublin is the location for the famous Book of Kells and the Long Room in Trinity College, you can get lots of souvenirs related to it. Most of these souvenirs are found right at the Trinity College Book of Kells experience gift shop. But I also saw some of the same souvenirs in other souvenir shops in Dublin.

There are all kinds of souvenirs that you can get of the Book of Kells, or Trinity College. We are big book nerds and we did the Book of Kells experience, so we came home with: a bookmark, a magnet, a tote bag, and a T-shirt. I took pictures of some of the other options above, like a mug and a reusable shopping bag.

If you visit any of the cities in Ireland, you’re unlikely to not pass at least one busker – people performing music on the street. Busking is a part of Irish culture and goes way back in Ireland. Galway is the most common city to see them, but it’s also very common in Dublin, Cork and Limerick. Not all buskers carry souvenirs or CDS that you can buy directly from them, but some do.

busker tote bag and CDs from Dublin

My husband really liked one particular band he saw in Dublin, called Keywest. He bought 4 CDs plus a tote bag directly from them on the street for €20. This would make a pretty fun and unique souvenir fom Ireland. Although CDs are ancient, its the easiest way to listen to some of their music. Many of the street buskers aren’t on Spotify (yet), so you might need the CD in order to have access to all their songs.

Wacky Woollies are colourful cartoon sheep that you can find on Irish souvenirs and gifts. Sheep are a national symbol in Ireland, and its said that there are more sheep than people! For this reason, you’ll see a lot of sheep on Irish souvenirs, such as fridge magnets and keychains. The Wacky Woolies are specific brand of sheep souvenirs; they have a fun, colourful and cartoonish design.

My first time in Ireland, I got suckered into buying a few Wacky Woolies products – a ball, a kid’s travel pillow. If you like the design but aren’t buying for a child, then I recommend a Wacky Woollies ceramic mug or a handbag.

You may notice that there are many “fairy trails” in Ireland. Children can go for a walk through a wooded area with fairy houses and doors attached to trees for them to spot during the walk. Fairies have deep roots in Irish culture. They are connected with traditional Irish beliefs in An Saol Eile (the Otherworld.)

If you visit Ireland with kids, I highly recommend going on a fairy walk. Its such a fun way to stimulate children’s imagination and creative thinking. I also brought home a fairy door as a souvenir from Ireland.

One of the most popular manufacturers of fairy doors in Ireland is the Irish Fairy Door Company. You can buy their products on their website, they ship worldwide. You can even register a fairy, which is very cute and might be fun for the child in your life.

Had trouble finding a fairy door in Ireland? Check out the Irish Fairy Door Company on Amazon, there is a lot of selection of fairy doors of different sizes and colours

There are a few Irish skincare lines that use ingredients found in the Irish countryside – Moss of the Isles, and the Burren Perfumery. The Burren Perfumery is a great place to visit if you’re in the Doolin area, and they make more than just perfume – its also a skincare line with ingredients from Irish wildflowers and other nature. You can shop their products on-site, as you sip coffee – as they have a roastery right on-site.

If you’re not going to be in Doolin, then you can also buy from the Burren Perfumery online. They ship worldwide for free for orders over 70€ .

Ireland’s farming industry produces often high-quality dairy products; chocolate being one of them. But I found that Irish chocolate could be milk-based, or dark (dairy-free.) Irish Chocolate, white, milk or dark, are often sourced from ingredients in Ireland.

If you happen to be on the Wild Atlantic Way, you should stop at Hazel Mountain Chocolate which is near the Burren. You can look through the window into their chocolate factory, and grab some treats to take home! Chocolate Factory experiences are also offered by Wilde Irish Chocolates. Depending on where in Ireland you go, there are different chocolate factories, and companies.

If you buy chocolate in Ireland, be sure that its an Irish brand so that you can be sure its not something you can get at home.

Pro Tip: If you enjoy Cadbury, you should look for Irish brands of Cadbury chocolate bars. Cadbury is British but there is such a thing as Irish Cadbury chocolate as well that you can find in supermarkets.

Waterford Crystal products have been produced in Ireland since 1793, in the city of Waterford in southeast Ireland that they’re named after. These crystal products are made with very high-quality craftsmanship and are famous for having a sparkle. They have even been admired by the Royal Family.

If you visit the city of Waterford, you can do a guided tour of the House of Waterford, which is the crystal factory where they make high-end products . At the end of the tour, you can visit the 12,000 square-foot store to shop for special gifts

Needless to say, Waterford Crystals aren’t a cheap Irish souvenir. Most items from the official Waterford website are $1,000 each. However, you can get much less expensive Waterford Crystal items on amazon.

Pro Tip: These days, a lot of the production of the Waterford Crystal has been outsourced to other countries and isn’t the same quality as when it was only made in Ireland. However, some of it (over 750 tonnes of quality crystal per year) are still produced in Waterford so just look for the ‘Made in Ireland’ label if this is important to you!

Donegal tweed is a fabric that has been woven in County Donegal, Northern Ireland for centuries. It’s known for being very warm, and is unique because of its speckled, uneven colours in the fabric. All of the Donagal tweed fabrics are made from yarn produced from sheep that are raised in Donegal.

Women’s coats made of Donegal tweed

Many Donegal tweed fabrics are made for men, often used to make the Irish wool flat cap, but it can be worn by women too, and people of all ages. (Such as these coats above that are aimed at women.) Until the introduction of machines in the 1950s, all Donegal tweed was handwoven.

Not going to be in Northern Ireland? Check out The Donegal Shop in Dublin which also sells authentic Donegal tweed products. In addition to hats and ties made of donegal tweed, they also sell aran knitwear and other unique Irish souvenirs. Also – if you’re interested in the craft of hand weaving, I recommend visiting the Donegal Tweed Visitors Center (2.5 hours west of Belfast) to learn about this centuries-old craft. The visitor’s center is family-owned and welcomes visitors with open arms.

Pro Tip: Real Donegal tweed can be pretty pricey – a hat can cost around €85, a tie around €50. However, its very durable and something that will last a lifetime.

Irish is a Celtic language native to Ireland, and until the 1900s, was the first language of most people in Ireland. Irish is still spoken as a first language by some people today but only about 2% of the population, but more and more are learning it as a second language. You’ll see many signs written in Irish around Ireland. If you go to the Aran Islands (Inis Oirr, Inis Mór or Inis Meáin) there’s a good chance that you’ll hear people using Irish to communicate.

Mugs that say “a hundred thousand welcomes” in Irish

You can get T-shirts, magnets, notebooks and all kinds of items that have Irish words on them. Things with Irish printed on them instead of English is something unique to Ireland that you can only get there, so I recommend this if you’re looking for something traditionally Irish.

It’s no doubt that when you think of Ireland, one image that comes to mind is probably a shamrock. The word shamrock comes from the Irish word seamróg which means ‘little clover.’ The shamrock was originally used as a religious symbol when Christianity was brought to Ireland (Saint Patrick used to describe the Holy Trinity.)

Nowadays ,though, the shamrock is seen as a symbol of luck, of Saint Patrick’s Day and of Ireland. What better place to get St. Patrick’s Day stuff than from Ireland, the country of origin?

The Bailey’s Irish Cream drink was created in 1974 and was the first Irish cream on the market. Its a very popular drink and its shipped worldwide, so you’re probably used to seeing it everywhere. However, you can get a much larger variety of Bailey’s products in Ireland. You can buy a variety of different Bailey’s products from Molloys (a Dublin-based liquor store with several locations around the country) or even the Bailey’s online store.

 Celtic music has deep roots in Irish culture; common instruments are the drum (called a bodhrán), a Celtic harp, fiddle and flute. Some Celtic music is slower, and other times its more upbeat and you can dance to it. The slower Celtic tunes are calming to listen to, can ease stress and promote relaxation. Here is an example of it that you can listen to it on Youtube.

The main music store in Dublin is called Music Minds and you can find it right downtown, just over the river from the legendary Temple Bar. You can also check out McNeela Music which is Ireland based but ships worldwide. Both of these places are good places to get professional, high-quality Celtic musical instruments. You can also check out Celtic traditional instruments here

Being a country with a Christian heritage going back almost 1000 years, Christmas is an important holiday in Ireland. Irish Christmas ornaments can have Celtic symbols, the Claddaugh or even commonly shamrock. Some even have Irish blessings on them.

The Skellig House makes this simple Bless This House ornament for the Christmas tree, and its handcrafted in Ireland. Carollis Irish Gifts has a larger selection on their website. Some people get a Christmas ornament home from every country they visit, but I don’t do this personally.

However, Irish souvenirs in particular suit the Christmas tree well, with the white and sparkly green. My daughter and I bought the “peace angel” from the St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin. We love the angel with the shamrock and admire it on the tree every year!

One of the things Ireland is most known for is its farming. The way the animals graze on fresh grass has a huge impact on the quality of the cheese. Irish cheeses include strong cheddars (Hegarty’s and Mount Leinster), gouda and bries.

A selection of Irish cheeses from the grocery store

Irish gouda cheese can be made with either cow’s milk (Coolea brand) or sheep’s milk (Kileen.) It’s important to know that many countries prohibit you from bringing dairy products into the country, so you should check the rules of your country about what you’re allowed to bring back.

If bringing back a block of Irish cheese isn’t feasible, you could also consider a ‘Taste of Ireland’ gift box. If you can swing it, butter would be a good souvenir from Ireland too. (There’s even a butter museum in Cork.) There’s also a Taste of Ireland Gift box that you can buy on Amazon.

Pro Tip: Looking for vegan Irish cheese? You have your pick, because Ireland has become much more vegan friendly over the years. Check out The Flying Squirrel Cheese, or the Green Goddess Fromagerie which make realistic-looking (and tasting) Irish cheddar. These vegan cheeses can make a great gift from Ireland for someone else, or yourself. (Plus, bringing them back home isn’t usually a problem since there’s no dairy in it!)

A large part of Game of Thrones was filmed in Northern Ireland, and the series employed quite a few Irish actors as well. Not only can you visit a lot of the sets that were used in the TV series, but they have special Game of Thrones merchandise that is only sold there.

If you’re a Game of Thrones fan, I’d recommend doing the Studio Tour in Northern Ireland; its a great thing to do if you’re in Belfast. It has the largest Game of Thrones merchandise store in the world, and there are some really cool souvenirs you can buy there. At the studio tour gift shop, you can find Game of Thrones souvenirs that you can’t buy anywhere else, so its pretty special if you’re a GOT fan.

Pro Tip: Not heading to Northern Ireland? Zavvi in Ireland also makes unique Game of Thrones souvenirs and they ship worldwide.

Like in England, the Irish use the word ‘crisps’ for what we would call ‘chips’ in North America. Hunky Dory is the most popular chip brand in Ireland, and they make crinkle-cut chips of a variety of flavours – salt and vinegar, Buffalo, and cheddar and onion (which is similar to sour cream and onion which is common in North America.)

You can find these crips in most supermarkets. Ireland has a handful of supermarket chains that you could check in; Aldi, Tesco, Supervalu and Lidl. Just be sure to pack the crisps well so that they don’t get crushed in your luggage!

Like many countries, Ireland makes a lot of its own sweets! Candies make a fun souvenir; its consumable and doesn’t take up too much space. They also make a great Irish gift for someone at home.

Here are some examples of Irish candy to look for as a souvenir from Ireland.

  • Clove rock (from Northern Ireland) – a red rock-shaped sweet with a hard-boiled white exterior
  • Jacob’s Jaffa Cakes – a cross between a cookie and a chocolate, with a squishy orange centre
  • Opal Fruits – basically the British Starburst
  • Black Jacks – have an aniseed flavour (they can turn your tongue black!)

A fresh loaf of bread is always appreciated as a gift or something to bring home. Irish soda bread is traditionally made with flour, baking soda, salt, and buttermilk and has a longstanding history in Ireland. In the famine years (known as An Gorta Mor in Irish) this soda bread was often the only thing people had on their table.

You can find soda bread in historic food markets, (such as the Milk Market in Limerick) or Irish bakeries. Be sure to freeze it when you get home if you aren’t going to eat it within a few days. You can eat it simply with butter, or toasted with butter and jam. It also pairs well with soups and stews. Unlike fruit, meat or dairy products, bringing bread into other countries is not usually an issue.

Not enough room in your suitcase? Grab this Irish soda bread mix to make your own Irish soda bread at home!

Whiskey is a Irish drink that has been produced since the Middle Ages in Ireland and Scotland. The word ‘whiskey’ comes from the Irish word uisce beatha, which means “water of life.” Although whiskey is exported worldwide and can be found anywhere, you should look for Jameson 12 Distillery Reserve which is the only one that can only be bought in Ireland.

Jameson 12 Distillery Reserve can be found in two places: the Midleton Distillery in County Cork (south Ireland) or the Old Bow Street Distillery in Dublin. If you’re not particular about the type of whiskey you buy, then you can also just find a nice bottle of Irish whiskey at Molley’s Liquoir Store. Some Irish supermarkets, such as Lidl, sell spirts as well. You can also grab a last-minute gift at the Dublin airport, duty-free.

Irish sea moss is one of the lesser-known, underrated Irish souvenirs. Its made out of red algae that grows along the coasts of northwest Europe. Irish sea moss has a long history in Ireland. It can be eaten dehydrated, or in gummy form, or used in cosmetics, such as creams and shampoos.

Generally considered to be a health food product, Irish sea moss has good source of vitamins and minerals. Read about the pros and cons of taking sea moss here. When selecting a sea moss, try to buy from a source that uses sustainable harvesting methods, such as Rí Na Mara, the Irish Seaweed Cosmetics Line.

Ireland is known for Guinness, which was invented in Dublin in 1759. There’s a HUGE Guinness store in Dublin where you can get Guinness Beer souvenirs, such as T-shirts, pint glasses, and even food products like coffee and fudge. The souvenirs from the Guiness store have the official Guinness trademark logo on them, which is unique to Ireland.

You can do the Guinness Tour in Dublin, but they also have an online web-store that you can shop for their products at. (Be aware that you’ll need to be over 18 to shop on their web-store, which is the legal drinking age in Ireland.)

There’s no way we could discuss Irish souvenirs without mentioning leprechauns. You can get leprechauns on all kinds of souvenirs in Ireland, but the most iconic Irish leprechaun is McMurphy. You’ll see McMurphy Lucky O’ on gifts throughout Ireland. McMurphy is said to bring ‘luck’ to any house.

Leprechauns are creatures from Irish folklore; they are a fairy in the form of a man said to be living in the wilderness. The word “leprechaun” is a Celtic word luchorpán which means “small body.” In Irish legends, leprechauns are not necessarily ‘good’ characters. They are greedy and mischievous. But in the modern day, they’ve turned into an important symbol of Ireland and of St. Patrick’s Day. Carollis Irish Gifts sells great McMurphy the leprechaun souvenirs which are perfect for kids especially, but adults too!

Literature has an important place in Irish culture, with the history of legends, folklore and poetry. There are some classic Irish authors from history, as well as Irish authors who continue to write bestsellers. The Irish love books, and you’ll be able to find a handful of bookstores regardless of the city you’re in. Depending on the title, some of the books are much harder to find outside Ireland.

If you have trouble finding the right book in person, there are also Irish online bookstores where you could browse. Kenny’s Bookhop Online and Books.ie both have an Irish fiction sections. As a big reader, I love reading books that take place in the country I’m visiting -especially if they’re written by an author from that place. Click here to read my post on best books that take place in Ireland, that you could find in Irish bookstores or online.

Ireland is a good place to get quality, authentic medals of Catholic saints. Christianity and Catholicism have deep roots in Irish culture. Saint Patrick converted Ireland to Christianity in the 400s AD (with the help of a shamrock which he used the leafs to describe as the “father, son and holy spirit.”) Medals of Catholic saints can be worn as a necklace or hung somewhere. The Irish gift house sells Catholic Saint medals. You can expect to spend anywhere from $70-$120 per medal, as they’re made of real sterling silver.

Pro Tip: Most of the medals are of male Christian saints, but St. Brigit. However, Saint Brigit is harder to find – she’s often sold out.

Knitwear might not be for everyone, but you can find a variety of warm clothing from Ireland – sweatshirts, hoodies, scarves and winter hats. These make great souvenirs from Ireland because they remind you of the cool Irish weather, but also useful when you go back home too (if you live in a colder climate, especially.)

Because cozy clothing is so popular in Ireland, you can find different options and sizes in most souvenir stores. The common colours tend to be greens, grays, whites and blacks. Usually, there is always some green included, as its Ireland’s national colour. If you have trouble finding what you want in person, you can also browse The Irish Shop online (they ship worldwide) or Amazon.

What are some Affordable Things to Buy in Ireland?

By now you probably realize that many souvenirs from Ireland aren’t cheap! The traditional tweed, knitwear, Claddagh rings, Waterford crystal can all be pretty costly. If you’re looking for less expensive things to buy in Ireland, then I would pop into grocery stores and smaller souvenir stores. You can find them in the city centres of Dublin, Cork, Limerick, and Galway, and at any major tourist attraction.

You may get a better deal buying souvenirs in small towns in Ireland rather than the big cities. If you want to save money, it also may be a good idea to avoid souvenir stores at the mega-popular tourist attractions such as Cliffs of Moher, because they will charge more for some of the same items. Visit smaller castles, even abandoned ones with tiny gift shops to find the most unique, and sometimes locally sourced items.

Here are some ideas of affordable souvenirs to buy in Ireland:

  • Irish tea
  • Irish soda bread, or crisps
  • Irish chocolates (from a supermarket – from a factory it will be pricier)
  • Books, or bookmarks
  • Keychains, postcards, and fridge magnets

I mentioned Dublin a lot as a place to buy souvenirs, but some of my favourite places to shop were smaller cities like Killarney, with walkable downtowns, and lots of arisan products and craft shops. Whether you’re in Ireland for a week or two, I recommend not buying everything all at once and taking the time to look around. There are also some products that originate from native materials to Ireland, such as Waterford crystal and Connemara marble. In addition, you can get comfy sweaters, tea, mugs, and holiday ornaments that are made in and unique to Ireland. Whatever you choose, I hope that your souvenirs from Ireland will make you as happy as they make me.
