Now you can surprise a friend with a Cork-made St Brigid’s Day gift box

There’s a gift box for everything these days.
Whether you’ve gained a degree or you’ve lost a pet, some enterprising local company has the perfect selection of goodies ready to ship to your door.
With excitement for the new Irish bank holiday in Ireland on Monday, February 5th at fever pitch, it was only a matter of time before the event was marked in gift box form.
Step forward Cork-based essential oil candle company Wizard & Grace, which has released a special Saint Brigid’s Day card and gift set to commemorate the first national holiday named in honour of a woman in Ireland.
The Brigid Goddess Gift Set includes the Wizard & Grace’s Bandia Goddess candle (lemongrass, lavender, sage, and grapefruit), which is inspired by the Irish language and landscape and carries the sister Celtic knot, a symbol of female empowerment.
Included in the box is a St Brigid’s Day original artwork card and an intention notebook – designed and made in Kinsale and printed on recycled paper – and a kraft compostable black ink pen.
“It has been a long winter and I wanted to celebrate St Bridget’s festival of Imbolg – the return of spring and the light – with a gift box full of optimistic and uplifting gifts – all created locally in Kinsale using sustainable natural materials,” explains Paula McGovern, Founder of Wizard & Grace.
The Wizard & Grace Bridgid Gift set is €49 from wizardandgrace.com, with free local delivery in the Kinsale area.
