J Hammon
St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner. It is time to choose the perfect gifts for your family and/or friends. There are five gift ideas presented in this article to get you started.

A beautiful floral arrangement can be purchased from teleflora.com for St. Patrick's Day. They offer a unique variety of bouquets for this special day. The floral displays range in price from $36.95 for the Teleflora's Green Light arrangement to $171.95 for the Shades of Green bouquet. The recipient(s) of these bouquets will feel the 'Luck of the Irish' smiling upon them.

The Love, Loyalty and Friendship Diamond Irish Claddagh Ring is available at collectiblestoday.com. This ring is a symbol of Irish pride and enduring love. It is designed with the symbolic heart and the crown and hands motif. Sparkling diamonds add elegance to the heart and crown symbols. It is crafted of sterling silver and plated in 24K gold for a gleaming finish. This exclusive from the Ashton-Drake Galleries can be personalized with two names. It is item number 301122001 and sells for $99.00. Or, it can be paid in four installments of $24.75 each. Whoever receives this ring will sense your love and realize how lucky they are to have such a friend.

The St. Patrick's Day Nut Sampler is available from figis.com. It is item number 12A6 and can be purchased for $24.99. The nuts are packed in cute Shamrock bags. The sampler contains green California Pistachios, salted Mixed Nuts with peanuts, sweet Maple Coated Peanuts and Butter Toffee Mixed Nuts. The box is tied with a gorgeous green "Happy St. Patrick's Day" ribbon. It is the perfect choice for the nut lovers in your circle of friends.

Invite a friend over to help you celebrate St. Patrick's Day with a tea party. The Irish Breakfast Tea Gift Basket can be purchased at designergifts.com. The item code is GBED_IRISHBF and it sells for $26.75. You will find it loaded with everything you need to host this special event. The basket contains an Irish Crème Cake, a 2 cup green teapot, Custard Creams, Scone Mix, a couple kinds of English Tea, a strainer, cream and Raspberry and Strawberry Jam. Contemplate how lucky you are to be able to dine with a friend.

Another unique gift idea is giving your family and/or friends a Stock Certificate. There are a number of on-line sites such as oneshare.com or giveashare.com where the certificates can be obtained. The prices for the stocks vary from site to site. The reason for this is the added cost for the frame and finish. Some sites allow you to simply purchase the stock certificate. Then, the style of frame and choice of finish is optional. This cuts down on the overall price because you are only purchasing the stock. You can purchase Coke, McDonalds or Starbucks stocks to name a few. Hopefully, the stocks will raise in value.

I wish you the 'Best of Luck' in your search for the perfect St. Patrick's Day gift.
