Gifte ó Dhia is one way of saying "a gift from God" in Connacht Irish.

Not sure how to say "precious" without sounding over the top.

Gifte luachmhar ó Dhia is literally "valuable gift from God"

but perhaps the following would be better? :

Fíor-dheá-ghifte ó Dhia literally "a truly good gift from God"

Await further input ...
