10 Thoughtful Mother’s Day Gift Ideas When You’re Not Together
How to make Mother’s Day special even though you’re away from home.
Send love and put a smile on your mammy’s face from across the miles, with our top 10 Mother’s Day gift ideas in Ireland.
You wish you could spend the day with your mam and give her the biggest hug, but for whatever reason, you can’t be there in person. Don’t worry, because mammy definitely wouldn’t want you worrying, you can still let her know how much she means to you even though you’re not together!
Organise a call or video call if mam can work digital well enough for that, and send your love and wishes over a call. We also have 10 ideas to treat her on this special day when mammies deserve to be spoilt! So no matter where in the world you are, make sure you show your mammy just how much she means to you this Mother’s Day.
10 ways to treat your mammy when you can’t be with her this Mother’s Day:
1. Send her a personalised gift.
For the sentimental mammy that misses the family all together, why not surprise her with a personalised family frame that will soon become the favourite item in the house! She’ll be only to delighted to show it off when the neighbours come around for tea!
2. Organise afternoon tea for her.
With Ireland now opened for socialising again and restrictions eased, mam might like to get herself all dressed up and head out for the day for afternoon tea, and we have just the afternoon tea experience that she’ll really enjoy in Dublin.
3. Organise a mammies night.
Get in touch with her friends’ kids or other halves to organise a night out for the mammies. Maybe a nice dinner out so they can all enjoy a fun-filled evening together with good food and great company.
4. Send her a Mother’s Day personalised frame.
A special message for a special mam in a personalised frame from you this Mother’s Day.
5. Spoil her with a pamper session.
Let’s face it we all love a day of pampering, and no one deserves it more that mam. Send her some pampering gifts to relax and enjoy either at home or you could send her a gift voucher for a spa day.
6. Send her flowers made to last.
Sending flowers is always an easy solution, but why not go one step more and send her favourite flowers that will last a lifetime, so the next time your home to give her a hug she’ll get to show you the flowers in person. She’ll always think of you when she sees these flowers on the kitchen table or the hall table!
7. A miss you gift.
Saying ‘I miss you’ can sometimes cause a lot of emotion, sadness and tears, but it also shows how much someone means to you. The fact you are missing them so much and thinking of them, it’s a gesture of love and thought. You could send her a miss you message as a little keepsake token.
8. Customised gift from the grandkids.
Is she missing her grandchildren as well? A special gift from the grandkids will no doubt bring a happy tear to her eye and we have just the gift – this customised kids drawing embroidery will be something she can treasure forever.
9. A night away.
Treat her to a night away from the chaos of everyday life. Book her into a nice hotel (possibly with a spa!) and surprise her on the day with this scratch and reveal card. Be sure to be on video call with her when she’s scratching it to see her reaction. For the ultimate surprise you could book her flights to come visit you! (If covid restrictions permit)
10. Spoil her with a piece of handmade jewellery.
I’m sure a nice piece of Irish made jewellery won’t go amiss! Something they love to wear and makes them feel loved and thought of.
If shopping local Irish gifts online is an option for you from the other side of the world, then MarketStreet.ie has a great selection of thoughtful and meaningful gifts for your mammy in Ireland.

Celebrating Galentine’s Day
What is Galentine’s Day?
Galentine’s Day is the day to celebrate friendships with the girls and takes place the day before Valentine’s Day, on the 13th February.
No matter what your relationship status – single, married or anything in between, this day is for celebrating all the women in our lives.
If your a ‘Parks and Recreation’ fan you’ll know that back in 2010, Amy Poehler, playing the character Leslie Knope, first introduced the world to Galentine’s Day stating, “It’s only the best day of the year! Every February 13th, my lady friends and I leave our husbands and our boyfriends at home, and we just come and kick it—breakfast-style. Ladies celebrating ladies.”
And that’s exactly what it is!
How to celebrate Galentine’s Day?
Yes, it’s a great idea to celebrate with your besties, but you don’t have to go full on as Leslie Knope did, in fact, I’d probably suggest scaling it back just a bit!
So first things first, get the 13th February penned into your diaries with a sharpie marker, then get a plan in place. The traditional way to celebrate Galentine’s Day is to organise a brunch or afternoon tea date for your girl gang. Get dressed up and go enjoy some yummy brunch food with a few proseccos or cocktails.
However, If you’re not into brunch and fancy doing something a little different, here’s some of our suggestions..
- A hike. Getting out in nature is great for the soul, so combine it with a hike with all your favourite gals and you’ve got yourself a great day of soul enhancing fun. Maybe pack a few tasty snacks and picnic blanket for a pit stop!
- Spa day. Because we all deserve a day or pampering, why not organise this with the girls. Book into a spa for the day or make your own spa experience at home.
- Girls night out or in. Nothing beats a good ol’ night out or night in with the. girls. Now that Ireland is open again, a night out could be just what the doctor ordered! Go mad, have fun! Or maybe a night in is more your thing – get a take away, get your comfies on and crack open the vino. Either way a girls night is a lovely way to catch up and have the craic.
- Group activity. This is a great way to bond even more and have a laugh at the same time. Go ziplining, do a cocktail making class, take a crafty lesson, organise a draw a nude class, go wine tasting, find a roller disco dome…whatever it is you’ll have fun cos you’ll be with your girls!
- Do something you haven’t done before. First thing that comes to mind is an ocean swim (or dunk even)! Think of something fun you can all try together and then maybe grab a bite to eat after.
Do I Need To Give Galentine’s Day Gifts?
No one expects a gift for Galentine’s Day unless maybe it’s a poem about how great a friend you are, as Leslie Knope does in Parks and Recreation!
This occasion is not as well known or celebrated as Valentine’s Day, so no one is expecting to receive anything. However, isn’t it the perfect day to maybe give something small as a gesture of your friendship, even just a card, and it would be a nice little surprise for your besties!
Some of our favourite Galentine’s Day gift ideas include..

What we are certain of is that men, like everyone else, appreciate good quality, originality and thought in a gift. So we have pulled together a list of beautifully made gifts crafted by hand in small numbers that it is unlikely they will have seen before. Some of these gifts can even be personalised to show how much you care.
So, before you reach for the generic cologne and aftershave balm gift set you can see in shops up and down the country, have a look through this list of artfully curated Christmas gift ideas for men, by the MarketStreet.ie Christmas elves!
Here is a list of our 15 Best Christmas Gift Ideas for Men:
- If he’s really into music then this customised discography print would be a great gift. Who is his favourite band or artist? Let us know and the print will be populated with their record releases. A personalised message can also be included showing even more thought!
- If he likes the clean shaven look we have the perfect shaving set he will absolutely love! An Irish bog oak shaving set comprising a silver tip badger hair shave brush and matching stand. The wood used is sourced in Donegal.
- For the one who loves a nice pen, we have a fabulous ballpoint pen made with antique copper and bog oak wood.
- A modern twist on a six pack, this handmade wooden beer caddy and bottle opener is a cool gift for the beer drink dad/hubby/brother/friend!

12 Irish Christmas Gifts For Family Abroad
Send them a little bit of home this Christmas
We’ve plenty of ideas here in our list of top Christmas gifts for family abroad
Christmas is a time for family. A time to come together, catch up with everyone and stuff our faces.
Many Irish around the world come home for Christmas, because there’s nowhere like home at this time of year. Strolling down Grafton street under the Christmas lights, Christmas Eve drinks down the local pub, Christmas dinner with the family, and watching Christmas telly while sipping on a Baileys. That’s Christmas at home for many.
Unfortunately given the global pandemic that we have all faced, many people couldn’t make it home last Christmas and may not again this year.
To help you send them a little bit of home this Christmas we have put together a list of our top 12 Christmas gifts for family abroad that will put a smile on their face and let them know they are missed.
Here are our favourite 12 Irish Christmas gifts for family abroad:
- Send a little bit of Ireland to loved ones abroad with this Cead Mile Failte Horse shoe. A beautiful gift full of Irish heritage with a well know Irish saying, perfect to be proudly displayed in homes around the world.

Ireland’s Top 10 Christmas Gift Ideas for Teachers
Looking for a thoughtful Christmas gift for teacher that they won’t get from anyone else?
We’ve put together Ireland’s top 10 Christmas gift ideas for teachers to make shopping a little less stressful this festive season.
After experiencing homeschooling during lockdown, I think we can all agree that teaching our kids is far from easy!
We have a newfound respect and appreciation for our teachers. In all seriousness, they must be superhuman to get through five days a week with our kids, let alone teaching and inspiring them and that’s why they deserve something thoughtful.
The Christmas season is upon us and as we go through our list of Christmas gifts to buy, we struggle, yet again, to think about what to get teacher. Yes gift vouchers are definitely easier but maybe you want to get something a little more thoughtful this Christmas, or perhaps it could go alongside a gift voucher.
Whether you’re gifting from yourself or you’re pooling together with other parents, either way we have put together a list of our top Christmas gift ideas for teachers in 2021. As all teachers are different and have different interests we have varied the gift types and budgets to accommodate all tastes, keeping it fun and unique.
Ireland’s top 10 Christmas gift ideas for teachers in 2021:
1 . Because teachers are planners and need to be organised to survive, a personalised planner is an ideal gift, and what’e even better is you can choose when it starts, add their name, make it ‘As Gaeilge’ and so much more.
2 . Because teachers are clever why not test them with a brain workout puzzle that’ll really make them think! Maybe they can share it with the class once they figure it out and it can be a class challenge!
3. Because they spend so much time in the classroom with the kiddies, they would really enjoy a unique afternoon tea trip around Dublin. Whether they are based in Dublin or not, this experience is not your usual afternoon tea – it’s afternoon tea Irish way and definitely worth the trip.
4. Because it’s Christmas, a thoughtful personalised Christmas tree decoration would be perfect for the occasion.
5. Because teachers have a lot of keys (school, classroom, car, house etc!), and full hands carrying books and all the rest, why not gift them a unique macrame wristlet so they can carry their keys easily without losing them.
6 . Because teachers like a bit of fun (and in fairness who doesn’t?!) a tongue twister 2022 calendar will be perfect to keep track of busy days and weeks so they don’t lose track of all the important stuff going on..like parent/teacher meetings, half days etc!
7 . Because you can never have enough candles, a Christmas candle gift box that they won’t get from anyone else is something that will stand out. These two Christmas scented candles each come in a handmade cement case that can be reused
8 . Because teachers have lots of students it nice to gift something a little different, so why not get them a quirky piece of wall decor for their home. This Santa hat pebble birdie on a slate heart is a lovely handmade Christmas gift idea.
9. Because being a teacher is stressful, showing them you appreciate their hard work and patience with a Relax gift box is the perfect gift for any busy teacher to enjoy their school break!
10 . Write your thank you message in a festive teacher Christmas card to go alongside your teacher Christmas gift.
