Here's a little something green and a little something bedecked in shamrocks to beautify your home, especially for Saint Patrick's Day.
Today I'm delighted to offer a lovely combination prize in a little giveaway for readers of Irish American Mom.
These lovely gifts have been offered as a prize by Gifts of Ireland, for a lucky reader to win.
Before I tell you the details of how to enter for a chance to win, let's first take a closer look at this tartan green blanket and shamrock kitchen set.
Table of Contents
Irish Themed Tartan Green Throw
This soft, green, tartan throw or blanket features a lovely plaid pattern combining various shades of green, interwoven with hints of red and gold, creating a harmonious and traditional Irish tartan design.
Crafted from a plush fleece, this throw rug offers both warmth and a gentle, soothing touch. It's warm, inviting and cozy, plus it's ideal for snuggling under on cool evenings.
I love the overall look of this blanket, since for me, it evokes a sense of comfort, nostalgia and rustic elegance.
It makes a versatile addition to any living space, whether draped over a sofa, chair, or the foot of a bed. It can even be worn around the shoulders for warmth like a shawl or pashmina. Another idea is to place it on the ground for a picnic.
Shamrock Style Dish Cloth, Oven Glove and Pot Holder Set
Part two of our combination prize is a delightful Irish themed kitchen set. This shamrock embellished set features a dish cloth, oven glove and pot holder embellished with vibrant shamrocks.
This set is a charming and functional kitchen accessory, perfect for adding a touch of Irish flair to your decor.
The primary color of these matching pieces is a neutral white base, serving as a subtle background for the green shamrock design.
The shamrock embellishments featured prominently creating a dynamic and playful pattern.
This kitchen set is not only practical for kitchen use, but also serves as a delightful nod to Irish culture, especially on St. Patrick's Day, or any day of the week or year, for those of us who appreciate Celtic motifs.
This lovely shamrock pot holder says happy cooking, from my kitchen to yours.
Stories of Ireland From Gifts of Ireland
Gifts of Ireland was founded by Aidan Geraghty, an Offaly man, in 2018. He carefully curates handmade Irish gifts to bring to customers the world over, who feel a deep connection to the Emerald Isle.

The Prize
Our prize today is a combination gift featuring this lovely fleece, green, tartan blanket, plus a shamrock dish cloth, oven glove and pot holder set.
