    20+ St. Patrick's Day Gift Ideas Leprechauns Love To Leave

    Last updated: Mar 10, 2023 · This post may contain affiliate links · 3 Comments

    Create some extra magic with these simple and inexpensive St. Patrick's Day gifts. Little leprechauns love leaving these for kids to find on St. Patrick's Day morning.   

    little leprechaun-s this awesome idea!

    St. Patrick's Day Gifts From the Little Leprechaun

    St. Patrick's Day is one of those super fun holidays you can celebrate with magical and easy traditions.

    Our children get so excited to wake up on March 17th to see if the leprechaun has visited.  In all honesty, I'm not one to stress myself out or spend hours and hours setting something up, so as always, these ideas are quick and easy along with these favorite St. Patrick's Day traditions.

    Favorite St. Patrick's Day Traditions

    • Eating Lucky Charms or green pancakes for breakfast (see the end of the post for a fun way to make it extra special!)
    • Making Green Mean Machines, the perfect pinch-proof potion
    • Having a St. Patrick's Day family-friendly dinner (that's not corned beef)
    • Eating Leprechaun's favorite treat for a family movie night
    • Having a family home evening lesson all about St. Patrick!

    But if you ask my children their favorite tradition, they will tell you that finding gifts from the Little Leprechaun is their favorite!

    St. Patrick's Day Gifts from the Little Leprechaun

    Before you get stressed out thinking "Oh, no! Not another gift holiday!", just know that there are so many ways to do gifts from the little leprechaun. Remember our goal is to make life festive simply.

    For that reason, if the leprechaun brings a gift, it's something inexpensive and useful. I think it's a great time to surprise the kids with some new art supplies since my children love to do all art all day long!

    We've also done rainbow-colored kids cups and bowls.
