Whether you feel the luck of the Irish all year around or kiss the blarney stone only on St. Patrick’s Day, it’s a wonderful day to surprise those close to you with a special gift. Since it’s not the typical gift-giving day, such as birthdays or Christmas, you may feel unsure about who to give to and what to give them. Use this simple guide to make St. Patrick’s Day gift-giving a tradition you want to continue every year.

The Who’s and What’s of Giving Gifts on St. Patrick’s Day

• A Toast to Good Friends. Meeting up with friends on St. Patrick’s Day is a fun tradition that many people enjoy. Since St. Paddy’s Day is on a Monday this year, you’ll be able to get together with your best buds or girlfriends after work. It doesn’t matter if you toast the day with green tea or a favorite brew tinted green for the day, as long as you enjoy some time together.
• For that Special Girl. A lovely floral arrangement or green plant makes an ideal gift for your partner, mom, grandmother or sister. Plant lovers can enjoy succulents with their rich green leaves, or an arrangement that includes roses, mixed flowers and naturally green mums, gladiolas or hypericum.
• Fun for the Kids. Kids enjoy St. Patrick’s Day, too, and you can delight them with a green corsage, four leaf clover pin or green-tinted drink. Create a treasure hunt that leads them to find their own “pot of gold” filled with chocolate gold foil-covered coins.
• Teachers, Coworkers and Bosses. Include the children’s’ teachers, and your coworkers and boss in the St. Patrick’s Day celebration. Teachers will appreciate a small floral bouquet in a mug they can reuse. Share the luck of the Irish with your boss and coworkers by bringing some delicious treats to work that everyone can enjoy.

Everyone’s Irish on St. Patrick’s Day

You, your family and friends will all be in the mood to celebrate this annual event with the flowers and gifts shared. Center the day around yourselves and the opportunity to be together with family and friends. You’re sure to find your pot of gold in the smiles on everyone’s faces.
