This year my husband and I were out of town for a weekend getaway for Valentine’s Day and so we decided to forgo giving each other gifts. So, for St. Patrick’s Day this year, I thought it would be fun to redo this fun gift idea that was originally shared almost 10 years ago! For the gift, I picked some of my husband’s favorite snacks and treats that also happened to be green or rainbow-themed!

St. Patrick’s Day Gift Idea

ITEMS NEEDED:

• Green or Rainbow themed gifts
• Printable St. Patrick’s Day Tags (download below)
• Home Printer
• Cardstock (5 pieces)
• Paper Trimmer or Scissors
• 1 Large Gift Bag
• Up to 8 Small Gift Bags

INSTRUCTIONS:

Download the printable sheet of St. Patrick’s Day Gift Tags below and gather your supplies.

This gift idea is actually super easy to put together!! I made printable tags with all sorts of lucky and love sayings. Here are a few examples (there is 8 total):

I tried to find treat ideas to things that matched the sayings of the printable cards!

Print the pages (front to back or glue two pages back to back) of gift tags on a sheet of 8.5×11 Cardstock on your home colored printer! Use a paper cutter or scissors to cut each tag out.

Match the tag with its appropriate gift and what time of the day you want them to open the gift.

The night before St. Patrick’s Day, when he goes to bed, I’m going to sneak the large bag with all the small gifts in it and the Lucky Charms out onto the kitchen counter.

The larger bag has all the small gifts in it and he’ll take it to work. Throughout the day, while working, he can open the smaller gift bags at the times their tags say! There will also be a couple for him to open back at the house when he gets home!

To finish off the day, the last little bag will be waiting for him on his pillow! I have a surprise in that last bag that is just for me to know and Scott to find out!

And you’re done! Woohoo! It took less than an hour to put together and cost me less than $30. That’s cheaper than a date and I think stretching the fun and anticipation throughout the day will be well worth the time and money!
