Spending two months in Ireland for a photography gig has been the most exciting part of my career thus far. From Dublin to Cork, I have shot some of the most beautiful landscapes anyone can find anywhere in the world. Aside from the magnificent landscapes I have also shot several castles and landmarks that are unique to Ireland. And now it is time to get myself some unique Irish gifts.
Throughout my several months' vacation in St. Patrick, I have also immersed myself into their tradition and culture. I started to love Guinness and have dabbled in their customary dancing and I may now audition for Riverdance. I have learned to like and enjoy local songs. Whether it is mainstream like U2 or The Corrs or independent artists like Glen Hansard, Irish music definitely offers a lot to express.
The two-month Irish travel is about to end. I really love the place Just as much as I would like to stretch my stay, yet I have plenty of responsibilities left at home. I do not plan of leaving Ireland without bringing a bit of it along with me. I could not wait to talk about my encounter with everybody. Apart from sharing with them amazing tales of my stay here, I plan to bring them unique Irish gifts.
The first on the listing will be the flag of Ireland. I have started to love the country, the culture and the people. And one way to display my respect and appreciation for this wonderful country is to bring the flag and happily display this in my room. I have discovered, though, that it can be customized. Exactly what I might want is an Irish flag then I will have my Irish friends' signature embroidered on it.
Guinness. The drink that I have thoroughly enjoyed with new friends. Any thing that has a Guinness logo on it will be fine for me. A mug, a tee shirt or a bag will do. I could actually start my own Guinness products collection. A friend already presented me with a Guinness magnet and keychain, now all I need to do is look for more merchandise to bring with me back home.
I found 100% Merino wool Shamrock throw that could just be perfect during a cold night time. It could be like taking some the Irish good fortune with me every where I go. The dimensions are sufficient to snuggle in or I can lay it down in picnics or star gazing fun. The style evokes traditional Irish myth, homeland and delight.
Among my treasured spots in Ireland will be the Claddagh. It was previously a fishing community, a location near to the center of Galway city, in which the Corrib River meets Galway Shore. Although the place is famous for its Claddagh ring, a band showing two clasped palms holding a crowned heart that symbolizes love, solidarity and respect. I will surely be getting home with me the Claddagh travel journal. It is going to remind me of this beautiful place wherever I go. Now this is your unique Irish gift.
I guess I will be bringing lots of Irish pieces with me back home. I may also be giving my friends other unique Irish gifts including shamrock fridge magnets and keychains. I will also give some individuals diecast Irish souvenir bus, book of kells merchandise like scarf and books and Irish dancer rag dolls. Most of all, what I shall be bringing and sharing with them will be the joy and reminiscences of my stay in Ireland. And the hope that they likewise will go and encounter the gorgeous island nation.
