A welcome message from OBriens

Welcome from Dublin - Ireland, home of O'Brien Celtic Gifts, specialist designers and craft manufacturers for over 30 years of a unique range of high quality Celtic and Irish paper based gift products. OBrien Celtic Gifts are part of the family run OBrien Printing group of companies based in west Dublin. Like all Irish clans, we fight now and again, but for a good purpose - to offer you something better.

What do we mean by "paper based products", we mean that everything we make basically uses paper (and cardboard) to achieve the end product. For example, sometimes we use leather to embellish the paper - like the Leather cover in our Celtic Journals, or we may use a green or ivory colored matt (mount) to display the ornate designs of the Book of Kells or to enhance an Old Map of Ireland. We are always looking at different options for different images - sometimes we end up confusing ourselves before we confuse you - but then that is the Irish way.

Our on-line product range attempts to offer Celtic and Irish designs that reflect quality craftsmanship that produces enduring worthwhile gifts, which hopefully capture some of the mystical quality of the great Celtic tradition that has evolved over the centuries. A tradition that we intend to keep alive for at least the next 200 years or so.

If you honor us with a purchase from our online shop - be it for yourself or for someone close - a brother or sister far away or that friend around the corner, whoever the recipient is, we believe your OBrien gift will stand the test of time. We hope it will be used or displayed for many years to come and perhaps be passed on to the next Celtic generation - and beyond.

And remember, a personalised gift of true quality is a gift worth giving - it brings pleasure to the receiver - for we all like to receive a book with our name printed in gold on the cover or a really nice Old Map for the wall of the land of our forefathers. There is also a quiet sense of satisfaction for the sender, when you see that smile, or receive that 'thank you' note.

And yes, our skilled staff here in our Dublin factory would love to hear from you and we welcome your comments - O'Brien Celtic Gifts Dublin strive to improve and innovate both our existing and new Celtic-Irish products to bring pleasure to our friends all over the world. Your feed back helps us in our vision to create a genuine Irish made Celtic-Irish gift experience. Go raibh maith agat.
