10. Christmas music

On Christmas Eve, St. Patrick’s (Anglican) Cathedral in Dublin has a wonderful choral celebration calls The Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, at which its boys’ choir sings. It’s really beautiful, and this would be the prince of all gifts – cheap, if you live in Ireland but a tad pricier if you’ve to fly from the States. If that doesn’t sound like your cup of tea you could opt instead to bring your friend to Ireland’s National Concert Hall, where Our Lady’s Choral Society sings Handel’s Messiah every year, or for a post-Christmas concert.

Oh, I agree with danielleryan. A lot depends on style and age appropriateness. Besides, boxing all Irish women together is a terrible idea. I happen to think that gift vouchers are a good idea because all you need to know is where a woman likes to shop, or what sort of music or theater she prefers.

God forbid we would want something that isn't cosmetic. A bag, lingerie, cosmetics, jewelry, spa? Is that the best you could come up with? And what's this crap about Irish women love to "take a break from the family" to read. Put down your apron for an hour and have a nice little read of Marian Keyes like a good woman. And "all Irish women love". Nice generalizations there.
