I have a small gift store and i make gift baskets of all occassions> i have never did st patrick day. any ideas that i can put inside a basket, i am not to familiar to this day but want to display this day too. what other items can i buy to sale thas more common that they buy. I was thinking cups, necklaces, who can help. also online where can i buy at a good bargain price.
In the US you might be able to get some “green” beer if not where you live a good Irish brand can be added to the basket. Add some stuff that is associated with the color green, four leaf clovers and leprechauns.
Here are some links to some popular holiday ideas:

It’s not a holiday that’s very keen on gift giving, so I’m not sure that gift baskets would sell well. I would however get anything green, small cups for drinking, mardi gras beads with Irish themes, and other small items for decorating homes.

Smithwick’s and Guiness.
Just kidding.
Try going to the dollar store or Target or something and getting bright green beads. Oriental Trading Company also may have those.
But you’re on the right track. Plastic drinking cups, necklaces, maybe even green face paint. Though that could get a little pricey. What about those glitter hats that you can get at party stores? I dunno… But great idea!

Almost anything green…..Also green beads are better…People buy necklaces with green lucky medallions on them…They buy beer mugs.
They buy things with Lucky shamrocks on them (clovers) Anything to do with Irish stuff…Also a CD with Irish music on it. I always listen to my Irish music that day and around that time. Why not any kind of green candy..Or socks…boxes of Lime jello.
A shamrock plant
flowers dyed green,,,carnations or daisies work well,,,maybe even a green rose..
Tee Shirts that are green and some with sayings in Irish
Cards that Say Happy St. Patrick’s Day, or Good LUCK!
Maybe some lottery tickets ..
I know beer is always associated but Maybe a bottle of that or wine..
Green Teddy Bears…Small stuffed or at least with a green shirt or pin on
Pins with lepricons’ on ,or shamrocks , or saying Luck of the Irish or Good Luck..
Books of Ireland or St, Patrick,
A shiney lucky penny or two.
Seems if it is green ,,It will be good!
. Good luck with your baskets. I hope you sell alot.
