Choose a popular St. Patrick’s Day gift

| Blog | March 16, 2011

If you’re looking for that special gift for a friend, coworker or loved one for St. Patrick’s Day, you don’t have to look far. At least five popular gifts can be found nearly everywhere and on sale, too.

1. Jewelry always tops the list when it comes to gifts for any and every occasion. Buy a necklace with an emerald pendant or a bracelet with emeralds. But if emeralds appear out of your price range, opt for a silver Claddagh ring or pendant with a Celtic cross.

2. Don’t be shy and forget the sweets or special treats – buy some green cupcakes or cupcakes with green iced tops. You can also offer a gift tray of fruit and nuts, which will be a hit at any office or home party.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

3. Flowers rank as top holiday present. Buy roses, carnations or a special plant for a memorable St. Patrick’s Day. Be bold and buy your gardener friend packets of flower seed, particularly now that spring nears.

4. Want to have fun with the special someone? Then, splurge on  tickets to a favorite sports event, opera, movie or club.  By doing so, you get to spend time together while being entertained.

5. A popular St. Paddy’s Day gift, of course, stands out as a Teddy Bear – one brimming with a green hat or collar. Of course, you can find all kinds of stuffed pets and even shamrocks and hats for the occasion.

| Blog | January 16, 2011

As Valentine’s Day approaches, millions of folks will spend time trying to find the perfect gift for a special person. Popular gifts range from flowers, jewelry and candy to a romantic dinner. If you’re not quite sure what to buy, here’s a list of five popular Valentine’s Day presents:

1. Flowers, especially red roses, make great gifts for the sweetheart on Valentine’s Day. If your Valentine enjoys gardening, why not a nice plant or packet of seeds?

2. A unique ring, bracelet and earrings with diamonds make anyone feel important. If gold jewelry costs too much for you, buy something silver. Others may appreciate a nice watch.

3. Cards with a special message also rank high among top Valentine’s Day gifts. Even personalized E-cards let others know you are thinking of them. “Electronic greeting cards (E-cards) are popular because of their fun and instantaneous nature,” according to the Greeting Card Association. “An estimated 500 million E-cards are sent each year worldwide.”

4. Chocolates in those heart-shaped, silk boxes make people with a sweet tooth smile. Even tasty muffins or cookies and candy with icing shaped into a favorite sport team emblem on them make nice gifts.

5. Gift baskets with stuffed animals, nuts, perfume and other goodies also top the list of popular Valentine’s Day surprises.

And if you’re still not sure on what to give, offer the most precious item of all – your time with the person or people most important to you.
