Etsy is a great place to find quirky, personal items for gift-giving. Throw upcycling and buying Irish into the mix and you’ve got Spoonerisms Crafts, a Galway-based shop specialising in hand-stamped vintage spoons.

Sci-fi fans will love the spoons emblazoned with “Stir Wars” while your cheekier friends can stifle a giggle at “Jammy bastard” or “I just tarted”. Also of note are the adorable fish knives stamped with “One hell of a catch” and “I’m a sole man”.

For Christmas shopping this year, Spoonerisms and other Etsy shops are a refreshing alternative to the mass-produced three-for-two high street wares we’re weary of. For other Ireland-based Etsy sellers have a look at: etsyireland.blogspot.ie.
