Five St. Patrick's Day Gifts

St. Patrick's Day is a holiday renowned for Irish legends, green beer, fantastic parades, and leprechauns. However, the holiday is not particularly well-known for its gifts. Certainly, simple trinkets can be purchased from the nearest retailer, but many online stores have much more promising gifts. Listed here are five interesting products available as gifts for St. Patrick's Day.

1.DesignerGifts.com offers personalized beer steins to follow in the drink-related traditions of St. Patrick's Day. These customizable steins hold 16 ounces of fluid. There are several different designs to fit different (mostly sports-related) interests, and personalized engraving is included in the price. A stein costs $23.24, but a beer stein is a gift that can be used year-round.

2.Jewelry is an excellent gift for any holiday, and Patagonia Gifts offers several designs for St. Patrick's Day, including the very popular shamrock. The shamrock themed jewelry on Patagonia Gifts' website includes necklaces, chokers, cuff links, and bracelets. Prices vary depending on the materials, but there is something suitable for all prices ranges. There are also products besides jewelry, such as bookmarks, for a customer looking for something besides jewelry with a shamrock or Celtic theme.

3.The website GiftsForYouNow.Com is carrying a Ty Inc. personalized "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" teddy bear by the name of Macgilicuddy. The sitting teddy bear has "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" stitched onto one foot and a shamrock stitched onto the other. There is a green bow around the teddy bear's neck, and the bear wears a white shirt with a green kiss that can be customized by adding a name or a personalized message. This gift costs $19.95.

4.CookieHQ.com offers one dozen St. Patrick's Day Fortune cookies. These delicious cookies are baked fresh daily in small batches. The fortune cookies are then dipped in Belgian chocolates or caramel. Each cookie has its own accent to enjoy, and, of course, there are fortunes inside each cookie. One dozen cookies costs $19.95, but the cookies can also be ordered in batches of 24 or 48.

5.The last gift here is a gift for children. The children's book St. Patrick's Day by Gail Gibbons offers an understandable explanation of St. Patrick's Day. This book is appropriate for ages 4-8, but it is such a good book that it is likely to become a family tradition for all ages. The book contains information about Saint Patrick and legends regarding the Saint, as well as symbols associated with the holiday. There are also details about St. Patrick's Day traditions in the United States. This book is available at Amazon.com for $6.95.

There are many gifts available online for a customer willing to wade through cheaper products to find gold. The five products listed here are just a few of the neat little gems found on the internet.
