Lulu’s Top Irish Gifts for Her
1. The Aran Boyfriend Cardigan
First up it’s a classic and one that continues to receive 5 star reviews from our customers. The boyfriend design is loose and comfy with a generous v-neck and brown football buttons. There’s 2 front pockets for extra coziness and the Aran stitch patterns are exquisitely detailed. Finally, the yarn is super soft merino wool in a choice of classic cream or stylish army green. A gorgeous Aran cardigan for her that will see her through many seasons.
2. Connemara Marble Celtic Cross
So next up it’s our best selling pendant and it’s easy to see why. The Celtic cross has long been a favorite in Irish jewelry design and this one has it all. First of all there’s the beautifully detailed Trinity knots which make up the cross circle. Then there’s the arms of the cross, crafted from Connemara Marble, Ireland’s ancient and unique gemstone. Finally, there’s the single marcasite stone at the center, giving a touch of subtle sparkle. Handcrafted in Ireland from sterling silver. Hallmarked at Dublin Castle. A gift for her to be treasured.
3. Traditional Aran Sweater
The original Aran sweater began life as a humble Irish fisherman’s sweater. Today it has become a must have wardrobe staple and something of a fashion icon. Our traditional Aran sweater displays lucky honeycomb stitch in the main body and is beautifully crafted from soft merino yarn. The toughest decision you’ll have to make is which color to choose! We offer no less than 8 irresistible shades! We also have the exact same sweater for him so why not go his and hers this festive season.
4. Classic Aran Hat & Scarf Set
Next on our list of our Irish gifts for her is a real winner and the ideal gift for moms, aunts, daughters and grandmas. The yarn is beautifully soft merino wool and the craftsmanship is second to none. Featuring classic cable stitch as well as honeycomb, the stitch of good fortune. It comes in three irresistible colors; mid blue, soft gray or classic cream. Essential Irish accessories for her winter wardrobe.
5. Half Pearl Trinity Knot Pendant and Earrings Set
The winning combination of graceful freshwater pearls and sterling silver make this Irish pendant and earrings set a real showstopper. The cornerstone of ancient Celtic art, the Trinity knot dates back to pagan times and it’s mystery and symbolism are still very much alive today. It is said to represent many things that are threefold, including the Holy Trinity. The Trinity knot continues to inspire Irish jewelry design and remains an enduring Celtic symbol of eternity.
A classic, timeless and unmistakably Irish gift for her which is sure to delight when she finds it under the tree!
6. Hooded Aran Zipper Coat
So last but certainly not least on my list is our best selling Aran cardigan for her. While the stitch patterns are traditional and exquisitely crafted, the design is unmistakably modern. The extra length make it extra cozy for wintry days along with the snug side pockets and generous hood. The zip pull features a trinity knot for an extra Celtic touch. Finally, there’s the supersoft and easy to wear merino wool in a choice of 5 gorgeous colors.
Well I hope that has helped give you some ideas for your festive gift list. Next week I’ll be turning my attention to the guys with my top Irish gifts for him.

I love the first sweater. Can that same one be made 6 to 10 inches longer? More like a tunic length. How do your sizes rank compared on the
US sizes?

Hi Karen,
Thanks for checking out our gift guide. Yes-the boyfriend cardigan is hugely popular and does have extra length but the length is standard and we can’t make it any longer. Our sizes would be the same as UK sizes. We do have a great selection of longer cardigans. Here’s a link to our full range. Hope you find what you’re looking for!
Regards,
Lulu.
