Happy St David’s day to all of our customers! St David is the patron saint of Wales, who is celebrated by the wearing of a leek or a daffodil on March 1st.
The wearing of leeks is patriotic tradition, which allegedly began during a battle where a troop of Welshmen were able to distinguish each other from a group of their English enemies, who were dressed similarly, by wearing leeks. The daffodil is a relatively recent alternative emblem.
St. David's Day is becoming more commonly celebrated with public events. Many Welsh towns hold an annual parade, with the largest taking place in Cardiff every year, while concerts are often held in pubs, clubs, and other venues.
With this in mind, we’ve put together a quick list of gifts for all fans of St David’s day:
A high quality multi tool is just the thing to help collect a fresh leek or daffodil or two.
A Jet Set waiter’s knife lends a helping hand to getting a celebratory bottle of wine, beer or bubbly going!
Perhaps a handy sewing kit would help get those leeks or daffs attached proudly to their clothing?
