What are St Patrick’s Day Leprechaun Baskets?
These cute gifts are an idea I conjured up on a whim!
My kids were talking about trapping a leprechaun before I dropped them off for school on St. Patrick’s Day one year. And, I knew I didn’t have it in me to come up with a trap at the last minute.
But, I could make it seem like leprechauns had been sneaking around the house.
I didn’t want to do the footprints in the flour thing because that just seemed like another mess for me to clean up later.
So, I decided the leprechauns would be sneaky and tricky in a nice way and leave the kids some gifts.
I ran to Dollar Tree and found some green baskets and picked out inexpensive green-colored treats, books, and other items for cute color-themed gift baskets that cost about $12 each.
The sign and Lucky Charms cereal were the perfect final touch!
How to Make Your Leprechaun Gift
If your Dollar Tree has seasonal St Patrick’s Day items, that’s the perfect place to start. What’s available will always vary by year and even by store.
But as long as you stick to green-colored items, or even rainbow or gold, you’ll have cute, cohesive-looking baskets no matter what.
Suggested Items:
- Books
- Small toys like Hot Wheels cars, plushies, balls, or mini games.
- Craft supplies
- Snacks and candy
- Crazy straws
- Water bottles
- Stickers
- Jewelry
- Nail polish
- Hair clips, headbands, and scrunchies
- Socks
Tips and tricks:
- As you go around the store selecting items, place them in the basket you’re going to use to make sure everything fits before you buy.
- Make sure your items are varied in height so you can have taller items in the back and shorter items in the front for visual appeal
- If you can find basket filler, it adds an extra nice touch!
