Traditional Gifts
-
The Celtic knot is a symbol of Ireland. Nothing is more symbolic of Ireland than the Celtic knot. Centuries old, the basic design is a series of knots without a beginning or an end. It has been used and adapted over the years and today can be found in artwork, jewelry and even tattoos. Your groomsmen might not all be on board with getting a Celtic tattoo, but might appreciate a pair of cufflinks or other piece of jewelry engraved with the Celtic knot.
Football Apparel
-
If you've got fans of football (or soccer, as your groomsmen might call it) in your bridal party, consider a gift from one of Ireland's football teams. The Airtricity League (see Resources), founded in 1922, oversees 10 teams in its premier division and 12 teams in its first division. Visit their website to find the club closest to where your family is from and order merchandise from the corresponding website.

Golf Gear
-
Clubs from an Irish golf course can make a memorable groomsmen's gift. Every year golf aficionados head to Ireland to play the country's world-renowned golf courses. If you've got golf lovers in your wedding party, you can buy them clubs, apparel, bags or accessories from one of the pro shops at Ireland's golf clubs. Some courses, like Ballycastle Golf Club, even take special orders.
Spirits
-
Gourmet whiskey is another gift option. The Emerald Isle is known its whiskeys, and its best known may be Jameson. Aside from the standard bottle of Jameson you'll find in the well of any bar, the company makes a series of more rare and sophisticated spirits for the whiskey connoisseurs in your bridal party. The most rare of these is Jameson Gold Reserve, a blend of three whiskeys aged in virgin oak barrels.
