Give A Green Gift This March 17th!
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.

Ireland is currently the most treeless country in Europe. It’s an astonishingly tragic fact, especially considering the close kinship the ancient Celts had with the forest. It was a significant part of their economy, culture-even impacting their language and surnames. To help bring the green back to Ireland, Rooted in Ireland has decided to plant and maintain memorial oak trees. Rooted in Ireland is quick to remind people of the ancient proverb that says, “A society grows great when they plant trees whose shade they will never sit in.” The company has a fierce feeling of connection with both the rich historic emotion memorial oak trees can evoke as well as the “green” environmental impact oxygen- and acorn-producing trees can bring back to the deforested region.
The folks behind Rooted in Ireland, have also now started an online gift store, selling gifts and souvenirs of Ireland. All revenues made from this site then go towards the oak planting project, and the site helps in spreading the word about Rooted in Ireland.
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?
