Irish Christmas Gifts 2026: My Top 10 Gift Sets from Ireland

Written by Lulu O'Sullivan

Cozy Irish Christmas for Two Gift Set featuring a luxurious red merino wool Aran Christmas Throw with honeycomb stitching and festive snowflake trim, paired with two cream Belleek Celtic Mugs decorated with traditional Celtic knot designs.

Hi everyone. I hope I find you all well this week. Christmas is my favorite time of year at The Irish Store. Every year, our Dublin team packs parcel after parcel bound for homes across America, Canada and beyond. Each one carries a little piece of Ireland to someone who loves it.

This year, we've done the Christmas shopping for you! I'm so excited to introduce our brand-new range of Irish Christmas gift sets. Each one pairs pieces that belong together, made by Irish makers I'm proud to work with. And every set costs less than buying the pieces separately.

Here are my top ten, with a little about why I love each one.

What are the best Irish Christmas gifts?

Christmas Morning in Ireland Gift Set featuring red and natural cream Aran sweaters with traditional cable knit patterns and two coordinating cream mugs, beautifully presented in a festive Christmas setting.

The best Irish Christmas gifts are pieces made in Ireland that carry real meaning: an Aran sweater knit with stitches for luck, Belleek china from County Fermanagh, or sterling silver Celtic jewelry hallmarked at Dublin Castle.

The Ultimate Irish Gift for Her featuring a natural cream Aran sweater with traditional cable knit detailing, a soft grey wool scarf, and an elegant silver necklace, beautifully presented among festive Christmas decorations.

If you want to give her the full Irish look in one box, this is it. At its heart is our Women's Fisherman Heritage Sweater, made in Ireland with the honeycomb stitch that fishing families believed brought good fortune.

We've paired it with a soft alpaca and merino Islander scarf woven in County Kerry, and a sterling silver Trinity knot pendant hallmarked at Dublin Castle. Warm, elegant and unmistakably Irish.

10. Lulu Aran Coat & Celtic Earrings Gift Set-Available Here

Lulu Aran Coat & Celtic Earrings Gift Set featuring a dark green hooded Aran cable knit coat paired with silver Celtic stud earrings, combining traditional Irish knitwear and Celtic-inspired jewelry in a festive gift set.

I've saved the most personal for last, because this coat carries my name and was the first piece I bought for myself when I founded The Irish Store in 2011. 

 The Hooded Aran Zipper Lulu Classic Coat is made in Ireland from soft merino, with traditional Aran stitches, a cozy hood, two side pockets and a Trinity knot zipper.

We've paired it with sterling silver Trinity knot earrings, handcrafted in County Kilkenny and hallmarked at Dublin Castle.
