Irish Made: These Quirky Prints Are The IDEAL Housewarming Gift For Your Mates

Éadaoin Fitzmaurice

Buying presents for people is honestly the BANE of my life.

I find it so impossible to come up with a unique idea in an age where everyone has it all, not to mention it can be super costly.

A while back I received a print when I was moving house. I found the perfect wall for it and every time I pass it in the house I smile. My friend is moving soon and I didn’t even have to think about what I was going to get them – a print is the perfect gift.

Leigh Leigh Prints are simple but effective with some delivering powerful messages.

Commenting on her underwear print she said:

“I made this screenprint 2 years ago and unfortunately, absolutely nothing has changed in this country’s mindset since then. We are still victim-blaming, still telling victims they “should have been careful”, “shouldn’t have dressed so provocatively”. I’m appalled by the way women are treated day in and day out.”

Leigh creates new prints on her Instagram every week and you can get them in all sizes.

With a Fine Arts degree from NCAD, Leigh has now decided to set up her own print business. I always like to support Irish talent when they are starting out and I’m super excited to watch Leigh’s business grow.

This one, in particular, would be a dream in the kitchen:

If you want to keep it compact, she also designs amazing stickers that I’m totally obsessed with.

These will go nicely in my new planner:
