Christmas Gift Guide 2025: Giving The Gift of the Garb – Irish Fashion, Merch and More
Here are some highlights from the 2025 Hot Press Gift Guide...
Ditsy Bits Irish Tees
Gen Z girls know what we’re talking about! This viral t-shirt sensation is independently designed and printed in Dublin. With a plethora of colourful, culturally inspired designs to choose from, you really can’t go wrong. The vintage stamp design is a particular favourite.

Pellador Triskele Appliqué Long Sleeve
The name of this Limerick-based label has been making the rounds and for good reason. Founded by designer and printmaker Greg Hall in 2022, Pellador creates designs drawing from Ireland’s rich sporting history. They created a limited-time jersey inspired by Michael D. Higgins’ spoken-word album, Against All Certainty, which sold out before you could spell Misneach. Their autumn/winter 2025 collection is still in stock, and full of beautiful designs like this Triskele long-sleeve tee.

Native Denims Chore Coat
The chore coat was first worn in 19th-century France, as practical outerwear with wide pockets and a loose fit designed for manual labour. The simplicity and practicality of the jacket reflect an era designed by intentional craftsmanship. Now, Dublin-based Native Denims is carrying on the legacy with its 100% organic cotton, indigo-dyed chore coat, which boasts a minimum of ten years’ wear.

Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign Shop
From keffiyeh scarves to Palestinian football kits, a gift from the IPSC shop is perfect for friends and family, and supports the work of the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign. This holiday season, be sure to remember and champion Palestine with a selection of items from this volunteer-led organisation.

Claddagh Records Graphic Hoodie
This stylish piece is perhaps the cosiest ode to the iconic Irish trad and folk music label. Created by local artist Aaron Fahy, the black hoodie toasts Claddagh with a collage of their legendary album covers from over the years.

Aoife Cawley Art Symbols of Éire Scarves
It’s hard to miss Kildare designer Aoife Cawley’s work in the wild; defined by bold, vibrant colours and illustrations of Irish symbology, she’s made a name for herself in the world of young Irish artists. A bestseller is her Symbols of Éire Scarves, adorned with a Claddagh ring, a creamy pint of stout, a St. Brigid’s cross, a shamrock, a fiddle, and a harp. They’re available in various colour combinations, all with beautiful detail and cultural significance.
