Giving Gifts This St Patrick's Day? Give A Green Gift!
Shirley Annodine
I think we all know that the greener, the better. With Rooted in Ireland, these words mean so much more. The Irish based company has started to do their bit in promoting a switch to a more earth friendly lifestyle. They are aiming to bring the green (and I don't mean cash) back to their own particular corner of the world. Outside the wonderful city of Armagh is where the story of Rooted in Ireland begins.
Suprisingly enough, Ireland has the least amount of trees of any country in Europe. Not having enough trees is a bad thing, and with less than 2% of the country aforested, in Ireland's case, it really is tragic. To address this problem, Rooted in Ireland plant oak trees, which are then offered for dedication to interested parties. The company feels a huge connection with the environment, and what their business does is truly beneficial to us all.
Rooted in Ireland have also launched a sister site, Great Gifts From Ireland. This site has gifts for sale, and souvenirs. The idea is that both sites should complement each other, and any revenue made from the Gifts site, will help finance the planting of more trees. The ultimate aim is to have ten thousand trees planted by the time the project ends, and then to look for another site, and start the process all over again.
Great Gifts from Ireland features Irish gifts that range from the unique to the more traditional with the goal always being that the products carried are fun and of high quality. There are collectable wooden spoons, lighters, Guinness "Drinking Socks" and shot glasses with either the claddagh or a traditional Irish blessing. Authentic Irish gifts for St. Patrick's Day abound at Great Gifts from Ireland. Stone key rings carved with the shamrock (the same symbol St. Patrick used to teach the concept of the Trinity), brass St. Brighid's crosses and handcrafted Celtic crosses made from the very turf of the brilliant Emerald Isle are among the unique Irish gifts that make a visit to Great Gifts from Ireland a wonderful online treat.
But of course the most green and worthwhile gift that you can give from Rooted in Ireland is of course one of their oak trees. What other gift can you give someone safe in the knowledge that the gift will still be around in a couple hunded years or so? For only $99 you too can dedicated an oak tree, and join the ranks of delighted people who have dedicated a tree with Rooted in Ireland. And there is another benefit; 10% of the price of each tree dedication goes directly to Marie Curie Cancer Research!.
So there you are now; if you are thinking of a gift or memorial tree you now know where to look!
