With St. Patricks Day fast approaching, I thought it would be fun to revisit and freshen up one of my very first posts on {maybeiwill} it seems like a lifetime ago.

One thing hasn’t changed, friendships. There will always be a friend that needs a little dose of sunshine and good luck, so this still idea for a St Patricks Day gift basket is still a fun and very relevant gift idea.

Back in 2013, my good friend was having a case of crazy bad luck. If it wasn’t one thing, it was another! It seemed just as things would start to get better, something else BIG would come up! My heart went out to her and her cute little family! During that time, I was thinking of ways I could brighten her day and make her life a little bit easier.

So the Bucket of LUCK became a thing and even went viral on Pinterest for a bit! I remember taking it and dropping it off for her cute family and how much it meant to her that I would take the time to come up with such a thoughtful gift. Kindness matters! So this Saint Patrick’s Day, let’s sprinkle some kindness and share some good luck with all those in our lives, friends, family members, and loved ones that need a heaping dose of it.

It may not be a heaping pot of gold, but it is a perfect time and a very special day to spread some luck out in the world.

To make your own bucket of Luck, aka St Patricks Day gift basket …You’ll need the following items.

Here is a list of what you will need to make your Bucket of LUCK and round out your St. Patrick’s Day Basket

• Rubber Ducks – Give them some lucky ducks!
• Chocolate {Because La Duh! Chocolate just makes everything better}
• Lotto scratch tickets – Give them some lucky scratch tickets
• Umbrella – To help them dance in the rain and protect them from the storm.
• Lemonheads and/or Lemonade -When life gives you lemons
• A Big eraser – to help erase the crazy in their life
• Lucky magazine and Pedicure Supplies – Lucky Magazine folded in 2015, so you’ll not have any luck finding that so – swap out for a lucky crystal bracelet, with Citrine, Green Aventurine, Pyrite, and Hematite all known to have “luck” properties!

• Add some little Irish Flags, Shamrocks, and party favor cutesy things that can be found at the Dollar Store.

A few other ideas to consider for your St Patricks Day Gifts Basket
