It would be impossible to count the number of times Ashley Rooney, owner of Celtic Aer Gift Shop, heard,“With that hair, you must be Irish!” Growing up a redhead, Ashley was constantly reminded of her Irish roots — a heritage she’s always worn proudly. But it wasn’t until her first trip to Ireland as an adult that she truly understood the magic everyone talked about. Captivated by the country’s charm, beauty, and warmth, she was inspired to bring a piece of that spirit back home. In 2010, Ashley opened Celtic Aer Gift Shop in Mohegan Lake and in May 2020, she expanded to a new, larger location in Shrub Oak.
Stepping into Celtic Aer feels like crossing into another world — a cozy and inviting boutique where Irish and Scottish heritage come to life. The shop is filled with character and heart, featuring an ever-changing array of treasures sourced directly from Ireland and Scotland. Customers can explore a thoughtfully curated selection of Celtic jewelry, Claddagh rings, Connemara marble, handknit woollens, scarves, and home décor, each item telling its own story of tradition and craftsmanship.
Beyond gifts and keepsakes, Celtic Aer offers an impressive assortment of Irish and UK foods — from classic teas and biscuits to chocolates, jams, and savory favorites that bring the taste of home across the sea. The baby and children’s collection is equally delightful, with charming outfits, plush toys, and meaningful christening gifts.
Ashley’s passion for authenticity and her love for the Celtic culture shine through every detail — from the warm atmosphere to the carefully arranged displays that make in-person shopping a true pleasure. Each visit feels personal and memorable, a celebration of both heritage and community.
For those seeking meaningful gifts or a touch of Celtic charm, Celtic Aer Gift Shop in Shrub Oak is a must-visit destination. Discover the beauty, craftsmanship, and warmth of Ireland and Scotland — all lovingly curated by Ashley Rooney.
