Customer photo review of Portballintrae North Coast Print
JenniferVerified
I ordered this online as part of a birthday present, arrived instore quickly, within 48 hours, and I was notified by text of arrival which is really handy. Staff, as always, were just lovely, very friendly and helpful. Print is beaut, love the quirky style and it looks great in the frame. It’s the first of many Peter Paints Pictures I suspect we will have!! And we’ll be back to Born & Bred to get them 😊

Customer photo review of BIG Pure Beaut | Born and Bred Pin
LaraVerified
I absolutely love everything about my order. The lovely box in which my wee order came in, the glens of Antrim void filler which the cat is now enjoying and of course my wee gifts that will be given to family. My dad is already using one of the coasters for his wee glass of wine and my daughter has the badges. And now one of our local shops stocks Born and Bred merchandise so I am a happy wee woman!

While I didn’t actually the print I ordered - I still really like what was sent. I think it’s an updated snap of the current coffee shops! Great service and quick postage.

Customer photo review of Kingfisher Lambswool Scarf+1
SaraVerified
I love McNutts of Donegal scarves. The quality is excellent. They do not itch and are good for sensitive skins. Also colours are vibrant and I wouldn’t be without one in the Winter for added heat

I love Aoife Crawley scarves! I originally had this one but someone stole it on me so I waited patiently for it to come back into stock and then bought it right away. I absolutely love it!

I love cherry - because it’s used in cherryade & that was my favourite drink when a teenager. The smell is nice and strong with this cuticle oil & it soaks in well.

Lovely, well made socks! Really nice colour, the fabric is very comfortable and a nice weight - not too thick, not too thin. Come nicely packaged, so would also make a good gift.

Customer photo review of Born & Bred in Ireland Enamel Mug
AmandaVerified
I came across Born & Bred on my social media and was delighted! The website is full to bursting with beautiful gifts connecting me to home, and with an upcoming camping trip planned and my previous enamel mug needing replacing, this was a great wee find. The team obsessive in me would have loved it to be even bigger, but it just means I get to engage in my favourite past time of sticking the kettle on! 🤣

Customer photo review of Poolbeg Towers Salt & Pepper Shakers
AudreyVerified
What can I say. Delivery was so prompt and in a cute wee box that I could then send on to my sister in Portland. Also got another one for my friend in Dublin. The quality is outstanding, even down to the detail of having on smaller than the other … exceptional !!!!

Customer photo review of Dulse | Irish Shore Seaweeds
ScottVerified
This dulse is as good as when you used to get it from the back of a cart on excursion, in newspaper at Portrush. Fresh salty and not soaking wet like all the other sellers. Wish it was in larger packs? Will definitely purchase more reminds me of home.

Customer photo review of VIP Christmas Shopping Night Ticket
CiaraVerified
What a night! All stocked up for Christmas! The overall vibe was that Christmas was underway… not in a ‘retail is hell’ type of way but in a ‘let’s get merry’ sense. I had foolishly began my Christmas shop before finding out about this event or else the free brambles could’ve gone to my head and kitted me out head to toe. Really well stocked shop with class wee bits for gifts. Would love more of these!

Customer photo review of Folláin Lemon Curd
JayneVerified
Really lovely, thick lemon curd, just like homemade. It has a nice natural lemon flavour, and has not a synthetic taste like most others, and is not overly sweet. The jar is really heavy, good quality glass and the label & floral lid look really pretty - would make a nice gift or look lovely in a hamper.

Customer photo review of Awk Hiya Love Enamel Mug
MVerified
I have wanted an enamel mug for a while but never like the pricings for them. When I saw these mugs with various Colloquial phrases on whilst visiting Derry 'Visit Derry Tourist Info Centre' I really had to bring at least one home. The online photos are a true representation of the colours depicted. The mugs are a nice size. Relatively easy to wash by hand. It was only when searching online retrospectively, to then realise i'd missed the actual Born and Bred store whilst passing through Bel...

My niece bought me the Dunluce castle print by Nichola Irvine & it was so stunning that I had to buy another one of her prints. I bought the Ballintoy one & again the colours are amazing & I couldn't wait to get it in a frame! It's class 😄

Bought 2 of these! One as a gift for a friend and another one for myself as a ode to my dad’s favourite drink. He passed away a few Decembers ago, so it’s a perfect way to remember him at Christmas.

Customer photo review of A Cheeky Wee Gin Coaster
MaggieVerified
All the products I ordered were fab. Unfortunately I can’t review and post them here as they were Xmas pressies for my son and his partner who now live in Scotland. I love to send him a little something at Christmas to remind him of home. He got the turf candle last year among other things and that was perfect. Ur products are meaningful😍😍

I bought this for my Irish sister-in-law who lives in Milan. She loves it and says her little Italian home now has a gorgeous scent of Ireland :) I think I just need to get more if the incense cones out of my own curiousity!

A Cheeky Wee Whiskey coaster from Born & Bred is a delightful addition to any whiskey collection. The design is both playful and sophisticated, and the coaster itself is sturdy. It's a perfect way to enjoy your favorite dram while adding a touch of personality to your barware. Highly recommended!

Very nice bar of milk chocolate - intensity is just right, it’s smooth and has a great flavour. As it comes in a pretty box, it would make a lovely wee gift or stocking filler.

Really love this print! Such a beautiful scene, gorgeous colours with a lovely quote too. Looks fantastic framed. There was also a business card included which has another pretty mini print on the back of it. I framed this up too and it also looks beautiful!

Customer photo review of Shindigs | Boxed Potato Chips | Whiskey Smoked Bacon
JayneVerified
Really lovely crisps! Just the right amount of flavouring - a very tasty smoked bacon flavour, and the ridged crisps themselves are perfect. The little box inside is an added bonus. It makes the pack ideal for sharing, and great for a party or picnic. As someone who is gluten free, it’s brilliant to find smoked bacon flavoured crisps I can actually eat!
