Early March:

• 1st March: St. David's Day (Wales' national day) - Consider highlighting Welsh-themed gifts, local products, or experiences.
• 8th March: International Women's Day - Promote gifts that empower women, support female entrepreneurs, or celebrate female-driven causes.

Mid-March:

• Mother's Day (variable date, usually mid-March): Capitalize on this major gifting occasion with themed collections, personalized gifts, or self-care items for moms.
• Shrove Tuesday (variable date, usually around mid-March): Offer pancake-related gifts, baking supplies, or fun activities for families.

Later March:

• Red Nose Day (variable date, usually 3rd Friday of March): Partner with Comic Relief or promote products that support their work.
• Good Friday and Easter Monday (variable dates, late March/early April): Offer Easter-themed gifts, decorations, or treats.

Additional Considerations:
