• The Irish enjoy food and drink. St. Patrick's Day is the perfect opportunity to give Irish relatives, or even those who enjoy celebrating the Irtish lifestyle, a taste of Ireland with an Irish-themed food gift. These gifts can range from custom gift baskets to homemade authentic Irish cuisine and will be sure to afford everyone the luck of the Irish when it comes to enjoying a bite to eat.
  
  

Coffee and Tea Basket

• The Irish enjoy both coffee and tea. A gift basket featuring coffee from Kenco (a leading United Kingdom coffee brand) or morning teas from Bewleys Tea Company are ideal gifts. Top the basket off with fruitcake (an Irish favorite), mince pies and segment cakes for an Irish-themed breakfast or snack food gift.
  
  

Soda Bread

• Homemade Irish soda breads make ideal St. Patrick's Day gifts for anyone who enjoys fresh-baked Irish bread. Ways to present soda bread include raisins, currants, with herbs or spiced soda bread. Soda bread is a popular Irish component for breakfast and supper, making it an authentic St. Patrick's food gift.
  
  

Irish Sweet Tooth Gifts

• Mince tarts, apple spice cake, Irish pudding and bread pudding are some of the sweet food gifts that make an ideal gift on St. Patrick's Day. Other items include Irish Barmbrack, Irish brown bread and maple apple pie. These sweets can be served in a wicker basket and decorated with shamrocks to complete the tradition.
  
  

Meat and Cheese

• Black pudding (blood sausage) is an Irish favorite at breakfast. Give a gift basket of blood sausage and Irish cheddar, goat cheese or Dublin cheese. Include herbed soda bread and grain crackers with Irish butter to complement the package.
