Whether you’re heading to the bar or throwing a bash at home, there’s obviously a ton of fun stuff to get for your party, but here are a few affordable essentials that every true St. Patty’s day turn-up needs… besides Guinness, of course.
1. Cool Change Color Changing Straws

2. Rhode Island Novelty Shamrock Head Boppers
A little bit of costume can go a long way, and these simple St. Patty’s day head-boppers do just that. They’re reasonably-priced, stretchy enough to fit a variety of head shapes, and come as a set of 6.

4. Jollylife Leprechaun Footprints
These leprechaun footprint stickers are especially good for any St. Paddy’s day parties with kids, but they’re a fun addition to any Irish get together. The decals are made with a self-adhesive PVC that prevents any sticky residue, which makes removal and cleanup much easier.
5. St. Patrick’s Day Temporary Tattoos
Temporary tattoos are another great option for kid-friendly parties, but people of all ages will (secretly) be happy to get a shamrock on the cheek. We recommend this set because it comes with 120 tattoos in 20 different styles, and only costs $14.
6. Hipsy Irish Green Hair Bands
The lasses (and long haired lads!) will be happy to have a hair band that fits the occasion. This pack of hair bands comes with two adjustable bands – one with sparkly clovers and the other with green braids.
