WIth the school year coming to an end, many kids have favorite teachers that they are sad to have to tell good bye.

So help them have a happy "last day of school" and a

special gift to give to their teachers to say, "Thanks for all your help this year! Couldn't have done it without you!"

A personalized coffee mug, a speciality little tea set or quite often, teachers already have a favorite mug, so give them something special to fill their coffee mug to the brim!

A leprechaun looks like a small, (ugly) old man about 2 feet tall. He is usually dressed like a shoemaker, with a cocked hat and a leather apron. According to legend, leprechauns are aloof and unfriendly, live alone, and pass the time making shoes. Leprechauns possess a hidden pot of gold and treasure hunters track down a leprechaun by the sound of his shoemaker's hammer.

If caught, he can be forced to reveal the whereabouts of his treasure, but the captor must keep their eyes on him every second. If the captor's eyes leave the leprechaun (and he often tricks them into looking away), he vanishes and hope of finding the treasure is lost

St. Patrick'S Day first came to America in 1737 and "landed" in Boston.
