Not only are there plenty of great ideas to choose from, but they are also very easy to buy from anywhere in the world. Plus, giving a gift that celebrates their Irish roots will add an extra personal touch they’ll appreciate.
If you’re not familiar with Irish gifts though, you might be uncertain of the best thing to buy. Don’t worry, we’re here to help!
Below you’ll find some stunning gift ideas for your loved ones with Irish heritage.
1. For Him – Irish Whiskey
When looking for a gift for him, you can’t go wrong with a good whiskey. There a plenty of great brands to choose from, including iconic brands like Jamieson and Bushmills. You can always shop around and find something more unique for a special occasion too!
If you’re not sure he likes whiskey on its own, you can make plenty of great festive drinks with just a few simple ingredients too!
2. For Her – Traditional Claddagh Birthstone Ring
There are few gifts more special, or more traditional, than a Claddagh ring. An iconic symbol of Irish culture, the Claddagh Ring represents love, friendship and loyalty. Jewellery always makes for a great gift, but a traditional piece has much more meaning.
For an extra personal touch, why not add your loved one’s birthstone? If you’re not sure what this is, it’s a stone assigned to a month of the year. You can find an incredible collection of Birthstone Claddagh Rings here.
3. For Winter – Traditional Aran Sweater
When the chillier months come around, everyone needs a good sweater. This is one of the reasons an Aran sweater makes such a great gift. Not only will an Aran sweater keep your loved ones cozy in the winter, but they will also celebrate their Irish heritage as well.
In days gone by, these sweaters were once knitted by women living on the three Aran islands for their husbands. A proper Aran sweater can absorb up to 30% of its weight before you begin to feel wet, making it ideal for a rainy day too!
4. For a Foodie – Irish Breakfast
There’s nothing quite like a home-cooked meal. If you can’t afford to fly someone home, the next best thing is giving them a taste of home! Why not put together a traditional Irish breakfast basket for your loved one? Get your hands on some Barry’s Tea, Irish sausages and some scones with butter and make someone’s morning truly special.
5. For Someone Special
Celtic crosses are not only important in Irish culture, but they are also beautiful pieces of jewellery too. For a special gift, you can’t go wrong with one of these beautiful pieces.
The best part is, they come in unisex styles so you can gift one to any of your loved ones!
