A Festive Twist: The Pot of Gold at the End of the Rainbow
Instead of a traditional St. Patrick’s Day gift basket, I decided to create a magical moment with my Bogg Bag by turning it into a ‘Pot of Gold at the End of the Rainbow’! This idea is perfect for gifting to a friend, surprising your kids, or even treating yourself with all things green and gold.
Step 1: The Rainbow Setup
To bring the rainbow-to-gold magic to life, I started by creating a rainbow backdrop using streamers in classic rainbow colors and topping it with white balloons for a cloud effect. This made the perfect setting for my Bogg Bag centerpiece. [$10 RAINBOW SET UP]
Step 2: Filling the Bog Bag with Green & Gold Goodies
Since the bag itself is green, I played up the theme by filling it with festive, fun, and functional items in shades of green and gold. Here’s what I included:
• Beauty & Self-Care:
• Aloe vera face mask
• Green nail polish
• Shamrock earrings
• Body wash with eucalyptus & sea minerals
• Green bath bomb
• Mini loofah
• Sweet & Savory Treats:
• Sour Patch Kids Watermelon
• Haribo Gold Bears
• Green Pringles (Sour Cream & Onion)
• Trident Spearmint Gum
• Stationery & Accessories:
• Floral notebook (from Marshalls)
• Green Paper Mate pens
• Glittery shamrock clips
• A Few Extra Festive Touches:
• Starbucks gift card
• Gold chocolate coins
• St. Patrick’s Day socks
This is just an idea list—you can totally customize it based on who you’re gifting it to! I like to stick to the rainbow theme or “green” theme to stay on Festive.

How to Use Your Bogg Bag Beyond St. Patrick’s Day
While I made this bag super festive for March, the best thing about a Bogg Bag is that it’s not just for one season! Here are a few fun ways to use it year-round: (Bogg Bag offers endless designs of bags for every holiday, every occasion and even sports themed bags.)
• Spring/Summer: Beach trips, picnics, and pool days—since it’s waterproof, it’s ideal for carrying towels, sunscreen, and snacks.
• Fall: A tailgate or pumpkin patch tote—perfect for carrying cozy essentials like blankets, flannels, and snacks for a football game or hayride.
• Winter: Holiday shopping bag—use it to carry gifts, groceries, or even to create a Christmas-themed gift bag just like this St. Patrick’s Day one!
• Everyday Use: Farmers market, road trips, or even as a workout/gym bag.
Moral of the story? You don’t need an excuse to own a Bogg Bag—it’s a year-round essential!
