I’ve always celebrated St. Patrick’s Day – partially because it’s my brother’s birthday and mostly because I kinda like the rowdy atmosphere of a bunch of people trying to pretend they are Irish. I don’t know why being Irish equates itself to being rowdy, but I’m glad it does. It’s fun.
However, rather than risk a nasty bar fight with someone who partied too hearty or, even worse, getting a DUI, we’ve decided to celebrate at home this year. But I still wanted to get my brother a gift, and I thought it might be cool to send him something that reminds him of St. Patty. I was actually surprised that there were so many gourmet gifts related to St. Patrick’s Day. There are some cool ones at one of my favorite gift basket companies, GourmetGiftBaskets.com. In addition to the cute little Frog, the Kiss Me I’m Irish Gift Basket
includes a nice selection of some high-quality snacks and chocolate.
I’ve written about wine gifts and wine clubs before, but this holiday seems more geared for a beer bucket or beer gift basket. The St. Patrick’s Day Irish Beer Bucket includes six different Irish ales, a big can of traditional Guinness stout and some snacks. That’s going to make anybody happy, whether they are Irish or not.
There’s also some cute, specially decorated cookies that you can send to help somebody celebrate the day. Have a look at this page of our Gourmet Store and you’ll see that not only beer becomes green on March 17th. We’ve made it easy for you to shop for St. Patrick’s Day Gourmet Gifts. Just remember to order early if you want delivery in time to enjoy the goodies by March 17th.
