This is a well known old Irish proverb. The Irish wording ‘níl aon tinteán mar do thinteán féin’ translates into English as “there’s no hearth like your own hearth”. Although a lot of people would translate ‘tintean’ to ‘fireplace’, i.e. ‘there’s no fireplace like your own fireplace’. This saying emphasises the comfort and warmth of your own home. No matter where you may travel, there really is no place like home. Wonderful Irish Language Gifts.
This gift is also a nod to the traditional Irish thatched cottage, a special feature of the Irish countryside. Made from layers of straw or reed, a thatched roof provides excellent insulation. The cozy fireplaces of these cottages contribute to welcoming homes. Thatched cottages are so cute, with charming rustic appearance. They evoke a sense of nostalgia and connection to the past. Iconic of times gone by, it is believed there are fewer than 1,500 thatched cottages remaining in Ireland. If you ever come across one on your travels it will certainly lift your spirits.

This lovely gift will evoke many a memory of long days spent on the bog. Toiling with families to ensure their was plenty of fuel to keep the family going throughout the winter months. Perfect Irish New Home Gifts.
