Ireland, The Emerald Isle, is known for its lovely green countryside; one of the reasons that green is associated with Saint Patrick's Day.
Since the Saint Patrick's Day holiday occurs right about the official start of spring, people are ready to see some green after a long cold winter.
Gold is another color associated with this holiday, as it represents wealth, luck and prosperity. (Remember the Irish legend about finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?).
Let's review a few green and gold gifts for the holiday of Saint Patrick's Day.
Green and Gold Gifts
The Shamrock (the symbol of Ireland) and the expression “Luck of the Irish” are both associated with St. Patrick's Day.
