Looking for some ideas for Christmas? Don’t renounce to season your presents with a sweet touch of Emerald Island. Here our list of perfect presents to bring home from Ireland, to give to people living in Ireland or simply to share your love for Ireland.
Aran jumper

Nothing says “Ireland” more than an Aran sweater. The real traditional Aran jumper is white (the colour of undyed wool) and a bit scratchy, and is the best garments protect you from the harsh weather of the Atlantic. Aran jumpers came in different colours and shapes but they might be a bit expensive.
A cheaper alternative is giving some balls of Irish wool, to knit their own Irish jumper (or an easier scarf) – only for those who love DIY!
Irish salmon

A great classic of Christmas, smoked salmon is a common gift in Ireland, very classy and totally succulent. Irish smoked salmon can be found in every supermarket around the Island, but for a real gourmand choice, try the Connemara Smokehouse.
Irish flower necklace

The most romantic of you will find this little gift adorable: wear around your neck a real Irish wild flower, in a tiny glass jar. To bring a piece of Irish landscape always with you.
Windproof umbrella

Lovely, lovely Ireland, where an umbrella cannot protect you from the rain because it is too busy in getting shredded by the wind. Do you know someone who hates to buy a new umbrella every time it rains? So the perfect present is a windproof umbrella!
Irish fairy door

In your mind Ireland is a land of fairy and magic? The present for you is a fairy door. You just have to install the little door in the corner of your house, leave the key next to it overnight and wait. When the key disappeared, it means that a fairy has arrived to live with you.
Hurl

Irish people are great fan of the GAA games (Gaelic games, i.e. hurling and Gaelic football) and it’s very common to see children on the street with a hurl in their hands, while they bounce the sliotar around.
If you want your friends to feel really Irish – and if they are sporty people – a hurl is the present to go for.
Beer glasses

Your friends are always the last at finishing their pint in the pub? So the perfect gift for them is a half pint glass: hold in the correct way it looks like a real pint, to not lose your face in any masculinity contest.
Toilet golf

Evoke the majesty of Irish golf field in your house. Or better, in your toilet. For those who find playing with the smartphone while sitting on the loo just too obvious.
A piece of Ireland
Buy a square foot of untouched Irish land. The prize is $ 49.99 and you will receive an authentic Certificate of Ownership and a Deed of Assurance directly at your house. No, you cannot build on your land, but you can visit it whenever you want.
Instant Irish accent
For those who are struggling to be understood by Irish people, the perfect gift is the spray for an instant Irish Accent. Just one spritz on the tongue and you are ready to speak as a Kerry fisherman.
