January is the month most people could use a gift: the decorations are down, the diary is empty and the weather is grim. Something to look forward to works better than something to unwrap. Here are New Year and Nollaig na mBan gift ideas for Ireland.
Pick to a budget: the Ultimate Irish Gift Maker builds options from our shop, led by a Sos Stays gift voucher, with Irish-made treats and local experiences around it.
What is Nollaig na mBan?
Nollaig na mBan, or Women's Christmas, falls on 6 January. By tradition it was the day women took a rest after the Christmas work. Today it's a good excuse to give a gift to the women in your life, or to give one to yourself.
What are good Nollaig na mBan gift ideas?
- The Wellness Spa Ritual (€100). Two massages in one hour at Tranquil View, an all-female studio that works by appointment.
- The Face and Body Spa Ritual (€190). A candle-lit massage, facial and foot massage.
- A night away with a friend. A Sos Stays voucher from €50 for a quiet midweek stay.
- Something small. A box of Loaded Cookies (€24).
What are good New Year gifts?
- For a busy household: Funtasia, for four (€149), for a wet January weekend.
- For a friend who needs a break: a voucher they can use when the diary clears. It's valid for five years.
- For a late present: an emailed voucher, so there's no postage and no waiting.
