McCormick is the Ulster spelling of Mac Cormaic, “son of Cormac,” and in 1911 about a third of Ireland’s McCormicks lived in County Antrim. Whether the McCormick on your list has family in Antrim and Down or descends from the Presbyterian McCormicks who settled in Pennsylvania and Virginia, this guide matches each piece to the person. You will find every piece together in the McCormick Irish family gifts collection.
The Heirloom Present: The McCormick Woven Blanket
The McCormick woven blanket is the gift for a wedding, a retirement or a grandparent’s milestone birthday. Crest and Irish National Tartan alike are woven into premium cotton yarn rather than printed on the surface, and the edges are fringed. Pick the size by where it will live: 52″ × 37″ over a reading chair, 60″ × 50″ across the sofa, or 80″ × 60″ at the foot of a bed. It machine washes cold and tumble dries low, so it can be used every winter rather than kept folded in a cupboard.
For the Pickup, the Porch and the Garden
For the McCormick who likes the name where the neighbors can see it, the McCormick novelty license plate sets the crest over the Irish flag on 100% aluminum, 12″ × 6″, with pre-drilled holes for a car, a pickup or the wall above the workbench. Mounting hardware is not included. For the farmer in the family it is also a nod to the name’s most famous inventor, the reaper builder Cyrus McCormick.
The McCormick garden flag flies the crest on the Irish National Tartan in poly poplin-canvas, in 12″ × 18″ or 24.5″ × 32″, with a top sleeve that slides onto most standard flag poles and stands. The pole is sold separately, so add one if it is a housewarming present.
On the Tree in December, on the Table All Year
The McCormick ceramic ornament measures 3 inches across and carries the crest on both faces in UV LED color, with a pre-drilled hole and a gold cord included, so it goes straight from the box to the branch. It suits a baby’s first Christmas or a couple’s first tree together. The McCormick coaster set earns its place the other eleven months: 3.75-inch square cork coasters with a glossy full-color print of the crest on the Irish National Tartan, guarding the table from heat, scratches and condensation and cleaning up with a damp cloth.

A line for inside the card: “McCormick, Mac Cormaic in Irish: in 1890 nearly two of every three McCormick births in Ireland were registered in Ulster.” For an American family with Pennsylvania or Virginia roots, try: “Thomas McCormick of County Londonderry settled in Pennsylvania in 1735.” The full background, with notable Irish McCormicks and research tips, is in our McCormick Irish surname history.
