Mardi Gras Gift Ideas
Mardi Gras is a holiday that falls on the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday in February. Mardi Gras is French for “Fat
Tuesday” and this holiday is intended to give people the opportunity to celebrate before the Lenten season starts. Historically, people would eat many of the foods that they would give up during the Lenten season. However, this holiday has evolved to parties, parades, and other festivals and is a big holiday in New Orleans. The first Mardi Gras was celebrated in New Orleans in 1699. Let’s take a look at some of the unique gifts that you can purchase from Jubilee Gift Shop to commemorate this festive holiday.

Mardi Gras masks, believe it or not, do not have an origin in New Orleans. Historically, Mardi Gras masks originated in Venice, Italy. In fact, masks were worn for much longer than the month of February and some people wore them up to 8 months. Mardi Gras masks gave Venitians the ability to interact with one another in an aura of mystery. As part of the Mardi Gras tradition, masks have been used since about the early 1700s. However, during the late 1700s to early 1800s, they were forbidden as part of the celebrations. Today, you can enjoy your Mardi Gras celebration with wearable masks from Jubilee Gift Shop.
