Look, we ordinarily aren't big fans of talking about Yuletide matters until at least mid-November.

However, the Christmas geansaí is an exception: yes, if you plan on prompting a load of witty conversation amid the debauchery of 12 Pubs or the office bash, you gotta get your order in early. Which is why we thought we'd highlight this gem from the creative geniuses at Funky Christmas Jumpers. Available in sizes XXS to 2XL, the Game Of Thrones inspired Christmas jumper comes in a neutral grey colour. "Santa is where he belongs in the Iron Chair," an accompanying description reads on the website. "This is a limited edition run which we guarantee will have you prepared for Christmas." The item is priced at €50.

Funky Christmas Jumpers is now nine years old: it was founded in 2008 by Fabio and Ciaran and now the likes of Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Ryan Tubridy, and Scott Disick (no, really) are all fans. "Whether it is the office Christmas party, a family Christmas dinner or that special present for your loved one, our jumpers are guaranteed to ignite some magic into Christmas," the lads say on their website. The company also ships worldwide - perfect for any diaspora would fancy a bit of Irish humour for the festive season.
