Table of Contents
Himself and Herself China Mugs
These charming mugs feature a classic Belleek Pottery basketweave design, and their signature hand-painted shamrocks.
To finish these mugs off in true Irish style, they're embellished with one of the words "Himself" or "Herself."
These lovely mugs are handcrafted in County Fermanagh by Belleek Pottery.
Personalized China Mugs from Ireland
Belleek also create custom china and will add any name of your choosing to these delightful Irish mugs.
Personalized mugs also feature the classic basketweave design with little green shamrock embellishments.
Here's another example of a Belleek mug available from Gifts of Ireland.
I think the "I've got Irish roots" saying, really matches the little shamrocks
The Mission of Gifts of Ireland
Gifts of Ireland was founded by an Offaly man in 2018. Aidan Geraghty travels all over Ireland to find handmade Irish gifts to bring to customers all over the world, who love Ireland like he does.

I wanted to bring this story of Ireland to people abroad and at home. Our folklore, our history, our Ireland. And what better way to do this than through unique Irish produce! Every piece of Irish craft is inspired by our experiences of Ireland. My mission is to bring that story to you through quality Irish produce from local suppliers and makers from all corners of the Emerald Isle."
The Prize
Our prize today is a set of two Belleek china mugs featuring the classic shamrock and basketweave design of this renowned Irish pottery company.
One of the mugs states "Himself" and the other states "Herself."
