Top Picks For St. Patrick’s Day

This is definitely your LUCKY year.  Clovers are back in style, green is the new black and guess what? St. Patrick's Day can be celebrated twice this year.  While the holiday typically falls on March 17th, the Pope decided to move it up to Saturday, March 15th to avoid conflicting with Holy Week.  What does this mean for you?  There will be the official "observance" of St. Patrick's Day (i.e. party) on the 15th, and a St. Patrick's Day Parade (i.e. party) March 17th . Ah yes-two full days to booze, schmooze and wear your lucky charms.

SSM's St. Patty's Day gifts are a chic, festive way to ring in a holiday traditionally celebrated with beer, corned beef and cabbage. This year, while you and your comrades down pints of Guinness, you'll be oozing with style in some the season's most fabulous looks. So spoil an Irish friend (or yourself!) with SSM's Top St. Patrick's Day Picks.

SSM's TOP PICKS:

For The True Irishman:
We all know the saying "beer before liquor..." With that in mind, pick your poison and your gifts appropriately.
 
For the Guinness Fan:

Any Irishman will love Guinness's Shamrock Tulip Pints (Set of 4) - a gift that will certainly last for many beer fests to come. And, since there's nothing worse than an empty cup, don't forget to send a six-pack!

For the Whiskey Fan:

Lets face it, the Irish have an intimate relationship with their liquor, so no skimping allowed! When looking to impress a whiskey connoisseur, you need the real deal, the good stuff: Jameson 18 year -triple distilled from the finest Irish barley and pure spring water, then matured in oak casks.

For The Hostess:

	We highly doubt that you plan on slaving over your stove cooking corned beef and cabbage. So, compensate with delicious treats like yummy sugar cookies from Eleni's and not-so-healthy berries from Shari's Berries.  Your guests will be so impressed, and the notion of traditional Irish fare will be a distant memory.

 
For The Trendy Friends:

	For the pub, you'll need to hang up your Chloe and kick it in some comfy, festive attire like Junk Food's I'll Be Your Lucky Charm girly t-Shirt.
	For the gents, lock up the Gucci loafers and tie up these Pumas.  This way you'll show your spirit for St Patty without sacrificing style.
