An Irish Fact:
If you're lucky enough to be Irish... You're lucky enough.
For 36 years, I have been incredibly lucky to manufacture, distribute, and import Irish gift products for the US and Canada market, serving hundreds of Irish shop owners, thousands of retail customers, and over 120,000 Facebook fans. Our copyrighted designs, thousands of individual coat of arms, and unique imported Irish gifts enable our company to help nourish, cultivate, and preserve Irish-American culture.
Our business is not just the selling of Irish gifts, it's the opportunity to participate in a rich Irish heritage that few others can replicate. One of love of family and friends, and celebrating life through laughter, song, stories, music, and maybe gathering for a pint to discuss it all.
It is with great pride that I am able to celebrate and share in the Irish American culture.

About The Irish Rose
The Irish Rose is a family-owned business based in West St. Paul, Minnesota. Ted Sexton was the first member of a large Irish family to go into business, by opening a small Irish shop in the 1970s. Ted's son Tom and his son, Dan, started their own Irish business in 1988. For 35 years, Tom and Dan have supplied Irish shops and Irish festivals around the country with gifts and products.
Irish heraldry research
In 1998, the first Irish Rose catalog was launched. Since then, Irish-Americans have sought us out for authentic Irish coat of arms items. Each year Tom and Dan sourced and tested new products until they had all the great items you see here today. Every day they look for new ways to help customers show their Irish pride.
For 31 years and much research, their Irish coat of arms database had grown to nearly 2,000 authenticated family crests.
A Tradition of Generosity: The Act of Gift Giving
The Irish are known for their warm hospitality and generous spirit, and the act of gift-giving is a cherished tradition. It is not just about the item itself, but the thought and heart behind it. This tradition is a way to express love, friendship, and appreciation, strengthening the bonds between family and friends. This heartfelt practice extends to many occasions, from welcoming a new visitor to celebrating a significant life event. For Irish Americans, the giving of a meaningful gift is a way to honor their heritage and share a piece of their ancestry with loved ones.
At The Irish Rose, we understand the importance of this tradition. Our collection of authentic Irish gifts is carefully curated to help you celebrate your family, honor your heritage, and share your pride with others. You can find the perfect gift for any occasion, whether it's an engraved glassware or barware set featuring your family's Coat of Arms, a beautifully crafted piece of Irish jewelry, a flag or plaque to display your Irish pride, or a cozy piece of clothing with a Celtic design. These gifts are more than just objects; they are a tribute to an enduring culture of generosity and a lasting symbol of connection.
All things Irish
Whether you need an Irish flag to fly, an Irish history to hang on your wall, one perfect set of coat of arms wineglasses for your wedding, or 40 sweatshirts for your next family reunion, the Irish Rose can help.
We'd like to be part of Irish families like yours and share what we know about the history, ancestry, heraldry, and culture.
