Irish gift suggestions...

Here are the  inexpensive Irish gifts as compiled by Irish Central staff for
this year

1. A Christmas gift basket full of Irish goodies from Siopa.com. They will
deliver from Ireland and they are the  best in the business.

2. Susan Boyle's CD. The daughter of Irish immigrants to Glasgow has become
the hottest singer in the world with her new album at No.1. on both sides of
the Atlantic. 'Come all ye Faithful'. 'The First Noel' and other Christmas
favorites make this a must.  That older aunt or uncle will love these
sentimental tunes.

3. A ticket to Ireland at Aerlingus.com. Fares in January and February are
dirt cheap so take advantage. A wonderful opportunity for someone who has
never been to the "old sod" but longs to go.

4. "The Dead" on DVD. James Joyce's incredible short story about Christmas
in Dublin and a husband struggling with his mortality has finally made it to
DVD in the John Huston directed version. Read the short story too. Wonderful
and evocative of a time gone by.

5. An Irish breakfast gift basket. Nothing better than a hearty Irish
breakfast to start the day with real Irish bacon and sausage. You can order
online at tommymoloneys.com

6 Lily O'Brien's Irish chocolates are to die for and beautifully gift
wrapped. If you have never tasted the real thing form Ireland now is your
chance at www.lilyobriens.ie/

7 A Claddagh ring for your beloved. A very special gift that says I love you
and not just for lovers but increasingly for family members too. At any
reputable jewellers.
