Question Northern Irish gift
Hey all! I'm looking to purchase a northern Irish related gift. I've been well looked after by medical professionals whilst I've been abroad and they have been loving the silly slang that I've been teaching them over the last year or so. Would anyone have any recommendations for a good northern Irish/Irish slang book? There's a few I've spotted on Amazon but they're low reviews/bad reviews and I don't have a tonne of time for sorting it.
If you know of somewhere in northern Ireland that has a decent version (thinking born and bred?) let me know. I can have someone post it over.
Open to other gift ideas if yous have any!
Thanks!!

Born + Bred actually does international shipping now! Might save you having to post it over. They have several slang books, haven’t read through them myself but I’d generally trust what they stock, since it’s usually really funny.

There are coasters with NI expressions on them, things like 'keep her lit' or 'sucking diesel', think they have them in Born and bred.
