Weddings are joyful celebrations — but let’s be honest, picking the perfect gift can be tricky. You want to give something meaningful, beautiful, and lasting. Something that says: “I wish you a lifetime of comfort, warmth, and love.”
Enter: the wool throw.
Not just a gift — a future heirloom. Whether the happy couple is setting up a new home or simply celebrating their love story, a John Hanly wool throw is a timeless way to wrap them in comfort and care. Here’s why it’s one of the most thoughtful wedding gifts you can give.
1. It’s a Beautiful Blend of Practical & Luxurious
Wool throws strike the perfect balance — useful and indulgent. They’ll keep the couple cosy on winter nights, add a touch of texture to their new home, and even work as a statement piece on the back of the sofa or bed. It’s not just décor — it’s a daily delight.
2. Natural Wool = Sustainable Love
There’s something deeply romantic about giving a gift that honours the earth. Our throws are made from 100% natural fibres — responsibly sourced and woven right here in Ireland. They’re biodegradable, renewable, and crafted with care.
3. It’s a Lasting Keepsake
Unlike flowers or a set of wine glasses, a wool throw stands the test of time. It’s the kind of gift that stays in the home for years — through movie nights, cold mornings, and lazy Sundays. With proper care, John Hanly throws only get better with age.
4. Perfect for Every Style & Season
From classic neutrals to bold plaids, our wool throws complement just about any interior. Whether the newlyweds love modern minimalism or rustic charm — there’s a style to suit them. Plus, wool is naturally breathable, making it ideal all year round.
5. A Touch of Irish Heritage
For couples with Irish roots (or simply a love for Irish craftsmanship), a wool throw from John Hanly carries real cultural significance. Woven in County Tipperary for over 125 years, our textiles celebrate the beauty of tradition and the richness of Irish design.
6. It Comes with Heart
There’s something undeniably warm and personal about giving a textile gift. Unlike cash or gift cards, a wool throw says: “I saw this and thought of you.” It’s a gift that invites closeness, comfort, and connection — just like marriage.
7. Make It Truly Theirs with Embroidered Personalisation
Want to give a gift that’s completely one of a kind? At John Hanly, we offer the option to embroider names, initials, a wedding date, or a short message directly onto the throw. It’s a meaningful detail that transforms your gift into a personalised keepsake the couple will treasure forever.
Whether you opt for a classic monogram or a romantic message stitched in soft thread, embroidery adds that extra-special touch that says: “This was made just for you.”
Bonus Tip: Add Thoughtful Touches
Choose a throw in the couple’s wedding colours or that suits their home style, and include a note about its Irish heritage. Combine that with our personalised embroidery service, and you’ve created a one-of-a-kind gift with soul and story.
To complete the experience, we also offer the option to include a beautiful Irish-made gift card, allowing you to share your warm wishes in words that will be treasured. It’s the perfect final flourish to a gift that’s crafted with care, meaning, and love.
