Posted by ShamrockCraic on 30th Nov 2016

Whether your winter holiday tradition revolves around Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanzaa, or pagan rites, gift-giving is truly a universal religion. We've done a round-up of some of our very favorite things here at Shamrock Gift to expedite your shopping list. Whether you're looking for something romantic, something platonic, something more religious, something more frivolous, here's a round-up of some of the best Irish brands in the business, all on sale for the holidays. We've tried to get something for everyone here, from the smallest of stocking stuffers to the more elaborate sort.

FOR YOUR MOM

There's truly nothing that feels cozier in winter than a thick and warm Aran sweater. This one is made of a soft and luxurious merino wool that's both water-repellent and super-soft - no scratchiness here. Mom will love how this cream cardigan looks and feels - it's knit from gorgeous Aran stitches rich in Irish history and tradition. Plus, the cardigan is flattering and forgiving, with a waist-defining belt.

FOR YOUR SISTER

Earrings are always a good bet for the ladies -- we're especially partial to these darling sterling silver band earrings. Handcrafted in Ireland by Solvar Jewelry (a family-owned business operating out of Dublin since 1941), these stunning accessories come in a gorgeous Celtic knot design and in a lovely gift box.

FOR THE FUN-LOVING FRIEND

These ultra-warm and cozy Guinness pint slippers never fail to make us smile! Whether you're shopping for a beer drinker or someone who just needs soft slippers, these are hilarious (and machine-washable!). It doesn't hurt that they look exactly like a delicious pint of black stout - yum!

FOR THE SPORTY FRIEND

This 100% cotton Trinity College Seal Ladies T-Shirt from Lansdowne is the perfect thing for any athletic girl traveling from the pitch to the pub, There's a snazzy dark pink and sharp black and white color scheme and an embroidered 'Ireland' in a Celtic font, as well as a lucky shamrock!

FOR THE FRIEND WHO LOVES TO COOK

These stunning ceramic salt & pepper shakers from Royal Tara are hand-painted in vibrant colors inspired by the style of 9th century ancient Celtic manuscripts, and brighten up every meal. The delicate shamrocks and intricate Celtic knotwork really take the shakers' design to the next level!

FOR THE FRIEND WHO SMELLS GREAT

We're big fans of Inis, the wonderful Irish perfume house. This exquisite Earl Grey and Primrose fragrance is derived from the smell of an Irish beach: ocean-fresh, with citrus & floral notes as well as sandalwood and oak moss. We also love the aesthetic of the pretty bottle, which is designed to resemble the look of pebbles by the ocean -- rubbed smooth by the sand and water. It's a unisex scent that appeals to all.

FOR YOUR NEICE

Kids go crazy for Wacky Woollies, the charming and colorful Irish sheep with low-grade personality disorders. This fun backpack is roomy with adjustable straps and all the silly sheep a heart can desire.

FOR YOUR SECRET SANTA

Sometimes the small stocking stuffers are the hardest to buy of all. We personally feel you can never go wrong with a really nice, lovely -smelling candle - the Irish Bluegrass and Kombu Candle are just the ticket. The cheerful scent is a melange of freshly cut grass enhanced with hints of fragrant wild flowers and fresh herbs - mmmm.

FOR THE BRIDE-TO-BE

The iconic symbol stands for love (the heart), loyalty (the crown) and friendship (the hands), Handcrafted in Ireland by the jewelry geniuses at Solvar, this 14 karat white gold and diamond Claddagh ring is the perfect way to show you're ready for a lifetime of happiness together.
