St. Patrick’s Day is actually a sort of morbid holiday, when considering its fabled origins that date back to the 4th century. March 17 marks the death anniversary of St. Patrick, patron saint of Ireland, who is said to have been kidnapped, taken to Ireland and enslaved at the age of 16. But don’t worry, you don’t need to think about any of this if you’re just wanting to drink a pint, watch a parade or wear any and all green things you can find.
What you do need to think about, however, is where to get your St. Patrick’s day party essentials. You’ll find no shortage of goodies to celebrate Old St. Pat on Amazon, but if you’re looking to rein in the spending, Dollar Tree is a much better place to go. Check out these nine awesome items that are perfect for your St. Patrick’s Day happenings.
Pilsner Glass Pub Glasses
Planning on making a beery toast on St. Patrick’s Day? You can head over to Amazon and drop $20 or more on a four-pack of Pilsner glasses, or you can go to Dollar Tree and get the pilsner glass pub glasses for $1.25 a pop.
Mini Boot Party Cups
If you’re looking for something more festive that’s great for kids, check out the St. Patrick’s Day mini boot party cups with lids, four-pack, at Dollar Tree. You stand to spend more on St. Patrick’s Day party cups if shopping on Amazon.
Green Sequined Bow Ties
If you’re looking to dress up yourself, the kids or even the pets in bright green cheer, you can’t pass up these St. Patrick’s Day sequined bow ties at Dollar Tree for $1.25. These emerald embellishments are affixed to a rubber band, so you could even use them as hair ties. You can choose from four equally festive styles. Similar items on Amazon go for $8 or more each.
St. Patrick’s Day Napkins
Paying $1.25 for a 24-pack of St. Patrick’s Day napkins? Sign us up. A set of 50 St. Patrick’s Day napkins on Amazon goes for $9.98 — and that’s on sale.
Women’s St. Patrick’s Day-Themed Socks
Here’s a St. Patty’s Day-themed item you can put to use all year — the St. Patrick’s women’s low-cut socks for $1.25 a pair at Dollar Tree. Similar novelty socks on Amazon go for $8.
Leprechaun Green Felt Hat
What’s an Irish holiday without a festive acknowledgement of the miniature old man fairies of lore, aka, leprechauns. Pick up a green felt leprechaun hat at Dollar Tree for $1.25. Some of the Amazon options here appear to be higher quality — but do you really need to spend $13 on something this silly?
Green Plastic Utensils
When was the last time you saw green plastic utensils? If the answer is “never,” that’s about to change. This 48-pack of green plastic “silver”ware (16 forks, 16 knives and 16 spoons) is just $1.25 at Dollar Tree. You can get a 150 pack on Amazon — but you’ll spend $16 on it.
Shamrock-Shaped Foil Plates
Before you head to buy standard plastic plates, consider that you have a far more festive option — and for only $1.25. The Saint Patrick’s shamrock foil plates come in packs of 10. They measure 8.8 inches by 9 inches and feature three shades of green. Amazon has similar items available, but they go for a lot more money.
St. Patrick’s Day Stampers
Looking to give the kiddos some fun, holiday-themed arts and crafts to keep them busy? Check out the kid-friendly St. Patrick’s Day stampers, 10-piece set at Dollar Tree. Very similar sets cost around $10 on Amazon. Though those sets come with more pieces, they’re probably not worth $10, unless St. Patrick’s Day truly is your kids’ favorite holiday of the year.
