St. Patrick's Day is celebrated on March 17, his religious feast day and the anniversary of his death in the fifth century. The Irish have observed this day as a religious holiday for over a thousand years. On St. Patrick's Day, which falls during the Christian season of Lent, Irish families would traditionally attend church in the morning and celebrate in the afternoon. Lenten prohibitions against the consumption of meat were waived and people would dance, drink and feast—on the traditional meal of Irish bacon and cabbage.

As a little, corny gift, buy a giant sucker and make a card that says “I’m a sucker for you, Valentine.”
Buy a small flowerpot, fill with red or pink gift bag shred and add packs of seeds. Put a heart sticker on the pot, if desired. Add an tag that says "My love for you grows every day!" or something else that fits the type of seeds.
Make coupons for things the gift recipient will enjoy (such as a kiss, a massage, a hot fudge sundae, a car wash, or a special night out). Put them into a pretty envelope with a homemade or purchased card.
A romance novel, blank journal, or a book of love quotes are all sweet gift ideas.
Homemade cookies are always welcome and yummy. How about making or buying a giant cookie or heart-shaped cake?
Burn a CD of songs you know your Valentine will enjoy.
Buy a bag of chocolate Kisses and hide them all over the house, car, in pockets, and anywhere else they won’t melt. Or do the same with Conversation Valentine Hearts!

Best Valentine Presents for the Very, Very Last Minute
Buy seven helium balloons in pink, red, and white. Tie them into one big bouquet and attach the bundle to a heart-shaped candy box. Some dollar stores carry both.
For a guy (depending on age), grab a quick six-pack of a gourmet or imported beer or soda. Tie a little teddy bear to the top. Too young? Do the same with his fav candy bars.
If the only store open is a grocery, liquor or drug store, run in and grab flowers, a box of candy or another Valentine leftover (but only if they are still nice). If all the Valentine goodies are picked over, get a gift bag and stuff it full of your Valentine’s favorite candies out of the candy bag aisle. If there is time, add a homemade valentine with words from Sweet Love Words: Valentine Quotes.
Buy a romantic movie, popcorn, and candy wrap it in pink gift wrapping paper and have a movie night at home.
