March brings us sunny days and the first burst of spring near the end of the month. It also means that the March birth flower is in full bloom, and so are these amazing gift ideas to go with it.
Animals come out of hibernation, March Madness takes over our TV screens, and it brings us the first full moon of the year. March also brings us St. Patrick’s Day, International Women’s Day, and a variety of religious observances. To quote Lewis Grizzard, “Springtime is the land awakening. The March winds are the morning yawn.” The shifting of the seasons in March is a signal of new beginnings and hope.

The daffodil is recognized by different countries in different ways. In China, daffodils are significant as signs of prosperity and good luck. The daffodil is even the national flower of Wales!
