The Story Behind Gifts le Grá
The Story Behind Gifts le Grá
The inspiration for Gifts le Grá came to me in 2020, during a truly life-changing week. In the first week of lockdown, I welcomed my baby girl, Éabha, into the world. It was a challenging time, but in the weeks and months following her arrival, I was touched by the thoughtful gifts that arrived at my door. Every gift brought a bit of joy to an otherwise difficult time, and it got me thinking about the power of giving.
Curating gifts has always been something I’ve loved doing for family and friends, and that moment gave me the push to turn my passion into something more. So, in 2021, Gifts le Grá was born.
At Gifts le Grá, I create bespoke and thoughtful gift boxes for all occasions, featuring a carefully chosen selection of Irish products from small, local businesses. Over the years, I've had the privilege of working with customers celebrating life’s most exciting moments and, at times, helping them send comfort during the hardest. Each box tells a unique story, making every gift truly special.
In October 2022, after much planning, we launched the Gifts le Grá website. This was a big step for us, giving customers the ability to easily purchase curated gift boxes or even create their own—all from the comfort of their home. But even with the website in place, I want to maintain a personal touch. I’m always available via email, Instagram, or Facebook to help craft the perfect gift, and I love collaborating with our customers on a deeper, more personal level.
As the business continues to grow, I’m excited to work with companies on their corporate gifting needs as well.
Most recently, in May 2024, we updated and relaunched our website, reflecting our commitment to always improving your experience. We’ve also expanded our range of suppliers and, perhaps most excitingly, we now offer international shipping—spreading the grá even further!
Thank you for being a part of this journey with us.
Le Grá,
