Whatever the occasion, the goal of giving someone a present is usually to make them feel good, to remind them that you care about them. The gift might be beautiful, practical or both, but the message is basically the same – you are known and loved. That’s true even when we are treating ourselves! We all love to get presents that reflect our taste and who we are, especially when we can use and enjoy them often, like Irish throws.

Giving Irish gifts is a great way to acknowledge someone’s heritage or their taste. Luxurious, soft, warm throw blankets are a wonderful present because they are such a practical and gorgeous way to say you want someone to be warm and comfortable on cold winter days. And it is very, very rare to hear anyone say they have too many throws! It’s so convenient to have several around the house – in the living room, the bedroom, the family room, the home office, anywhere someone might want to sit down and be warm and cozy.

Aran Knit Irish Throws

Named for the rugged islands off Ireland’s west coast, this iconic style of knitting isn’t just pretty designs. The texture traps warmth near the body and provides maximum insulation against the cold and wet. If it keeps fishermen comfortable out on the Atlantic Ocean, you can be confident this Irish gift is going to keep you warm and snug on the sofa. Made of the softest merino wool, the classic cream color will go with almost any room décor.

Cozy Cashmere Wool Throws from Ireland

Many of us have a love hate relationship with wool. It’s warm and beautiful, but it can also be rough and scratchy. These delightful throws solve that by blending soft merino wool with luxurious cashmere to give the best of both materials. This line features color combinations that reflect the stunning scenery of Ireland with rich tones of grey, blue and lavender. These Irish gifts are a treat for anyone of any age.

Mohair Throws for More Warmth

Mohair is an excellent wool because it combines softness with durability. These throws can be used year-round both indoors and outdoors. Enjoy these throws curled up by the fire with a good book, cheering on your favorite sports team from the stands, or picnicking in the park.  Mohair is also distinctively, fabulously fuzzy, giving these throws a soft look that calls to mind a misty Irish morning or a hazy day on Ireland’s rugged coastline.

Throw blankets make excellent Irish gifts. Everyone can enjoy them, from the grandparents who really feel winter’s biting cold to the young folks who love to be cozy binge watching their favorite series. A lot of parents spend time every winter in the car while their children are enjoying sports. A cozy throw can transform that experience into some quiet, comfortable me-time. These throws are all the lovelier because they reflect the beauty of Ireland. And if anyone has mastered staying comfortable in a wet, cold climate, it has to be the Irish.
