Irish people living abroad will adore these Paddy’s Day/Easter care packages

Keeley Ryan

Because, let’s face it, sometimes there’s just no place like home.

An Irish company have made it even easier to send some Irish treats to some

The Paddy Box have just announced the launch of two new care packages, which are absolutely filled with everything you would miss while living abroad.

The Paddy’s Day Box has everything you would need to feel right at home on March 17, from Paddy’s Day hats, Irish face paint, Irish flags, to Irish slang books and tea towels with Irish mammy quotes.

There’s also the ultimate food essentials, like Tayto crisps, Cadbury Dairy Milk, Barry’s Tea and Ballymaloe relish.

And The Easter Box is chockfull of delicious Irish chocolate, naturally.

Among the treats inside are 2 Cadbury medium Easter eggs, Cadbury mini egg pack, a Butlers Chocolate Bunny, Cadbury Purple Snacks 6 pack and more.

The two newest launched were designed around a recent study conducted behind the company, which looked at the foods Irish people living abroad missed most.

Tayto Cheese and Onion crisps took the top spot, Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate, Barry’s Tea, Ballymaloe Relish and McDonnell’s Curry Sauce.

In fact, 56 per cent of people said that they would have a Tayto sandwich and a cup of Barry’s Tea if they were able to fly to Ireland for one day only.

85 per cent of people said that they miss Ballymaloe Relish more than their in-laws while living abroad, and 68 per cent of people would prefer a cup of Barry’s Tea over a pint in their current country.

Speaking about these two new box launches, Mark Loftus, The Paddy Box Founder, said:

“We’re really excited to continue with our mission of spreading grá, one box at a time.

“Since we launched The Paddy Box in November, the response has been incredible.

“We have taken customer feedback on board by further extending our range. St. Patrick’s Day and Easter are major, nostalgia filled holidays in the Irish calendar so The Paddy’s Day Box and The Easter Box were something we knew Irish living abroad would love.

“We can’t wait to start sending them around the world.”

The pre-poxed boxes can be ordered via the official website. They are priced beginning at €49.95 and go up to €59.95.
