Our Best Irish Gift Ideas

Gift giving is one of those age old traditions that is as challenging as it is sweet, often leaving people with re-gifts or things they simply never wanted. Anniversary gifts, wedding gifts, and birthday gifts require special attention, showing the person receiving the present that the gift giver put thought into it. Irish Traditions have created a wonderful array of gifts that, often times, can take some of the hard thought out of gift giving. At Irish Traditions we have a variety of gifts that will show your special someone just how much you care.

Here are some of my favorite Irish gifts:

Irish Jewelry. For that special someone in your life, regardless of how long you have been together – nothing tells a woman how much you love her like a handpicked piece of jewelry. With so many designs to choose from an Irish gift of jewelry can become personal. Whether the piece features the Celtic tree of life or is part of the myths and legends of the Emerald Isle, one of these enchanting pieces is sure to get a smile.  You can also purchase a modern day charm bracelet that can be customized and added to for any special occasion. 

Family crests are also an exceptionally personal gift. Creating a bond between the past and today these icons are symbols of unity and family from distant history books to modern day. Sharing a last name is something very relevant to many families, making giving someone a family crest a lovely idea. You can also include the story of the family’s history on a scribe.  For some, who may never have considered looking for their roots, a gift like this might spark a lifelong curiosity and lead to some amazing discoveries. 

Galway Crystal is a beautiful and thoughtful gift.  Weddings are the start of a family's life together and anniversaries are a celebration of that life. In either case gifts for the home are always appreciated. Galway crystal is some of the finest in the world and giving a couple something from this amazing collection will give them a gift they will use and cherish for years to come. Be it a Claddagh goblet or a Longford bell, crystal is sure to please.

Irish sweaters, or cardigans with Aran stitching, are stylish and they are warm, a perfect gift to open under the Christmas tree or when celebrating your anniversary. These long lasting cardigans will be cherished by the person you give it to for a very long time. At Irish Traditions we sell Irish sweaters that are made the way they used to be, hundreds of years ago.  Visit our shop and feel the difference between a hand knit or one made with a loom.  Our hand knit sweaters are one of a kind so if you find one you like buy it!

Regardless of the occasion, we carry some of the finest Irish gifts that will delight the heart and bring joy to those who get them. In an old cliché, there is something for everyone – all you have to do is stop by the store to see our latest merchandise.  Since so many of our products are one of a kind we recommend purchasing things you like right away.  Some of our merchandise has to be ordered months in advance and handcrafted items will often never be replicated.  Visit Irish Traditions today and let us help you pick out the perfect Irish gift for your loved one.
