Gibson Irish Family Gifts & Heritage

Gibson means "son of Gib," a medieval pet form of Gilbert, and is a Scottish surname rather than a native Gaelic-Irish one. It entered Ireland almost entirely through the seventeenth-century Plantation of Ulster, and 1901 census records show Gibson households concentrated in County Down — more than any other county — and overwhelmingly Presbyterian, confirming the family's settler origin.

There's a good range in this collection — woven blankets, mugs, garden flags, ceramic ornaments, coaster sets, license plates, and t-shirts and sweatshirts, all carrying the Gibson crest — so it's easy to match the gift to the person rather than the other way around.

Whether it's a birthday, a reunion, a homecoming to County Down, or a gift for someone proud of the Gibson name, there's an option here that fits the occasion.

However they'd want to show it off — at home, out and about, or tucked away somewhere personal — there's a Gibson piece here for it.
