15 Gifts to Bring to Your Next St. Patrick's Day Party

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

Though several proud Irish friends and colleagues we know have confirmed that St. Patrick’s Day gifts aren’t as customary as, say birthday or Christmas gifts, we’ll always use a beloved holiday to offer our friends and family a present. On our list, you’ll find plenty of green, clovers, and glasses designed for drinking because, what is a St. Patrick’s Day party without a few slightly buzzed guests? So if you’re headed to a friend’s house to celebrate this year on Sunday, March 17, don’t show up empty-handed. Bring any of the House Beautiful-approved picks with you, ahead.

If you aren’t quite sure what to bring though, we’ve got you covered. Ahead, you’ll find everything from a customizable 18-karat gold shamrock pendant to a set of four Irish motif-shaped and -iced sugar cookies from Williams Sonoma. No matter what you end up bringing to the party, your gracious hosts and the fellow guests are sure to get some good use out of it. One of our favorite picks? A set of four craft beer glasses that are each designed for a specific type of brew, inkling IPA and stout, to name a couple.

St. Patrick’s Day may still seem a bit far away, but the longer you wait to snag your gifts, the more likely it is that they’ll be gone, so go ahead and add your favorite finds to your cart now. You may not get a pot of gold for staying on top of your gift list, but you will definitely be one of the most cherished guests at the fête.

St. Patrick's Day Cake Pops, Set of 12

Because St. Patrick's Day isn't as much of a gift-giving holiday, there's no reason to shell out a ton of money on presents. As long as you snag something green, you're in the clear. We're pretty smitten with these festive cake pops, which ship fresh and ready to eat. They'll arrive impossibly moist, so enjoy before they start to go stale.

Shamrock Pillow

Opt for a classic on-theme holiday motif done in an elevated way. Take, for instance, this embroidered pillow with a shamrock design. Yes, it works for St. Patrick's Day, but it also works every other day of the year.

Green Scrubbers, Set of 2

This may seem like an odd gift, but since the Scrub Daddy set was one of House Beautiful readers' most-purchased products in 2023, we figured we'd include them on our list. After all, they're cute, they're green, and they work.

30-Ounce Rambler Tumbler

"I spent two weeks hydrating from both a Stanley IceFlow and a Yeti Rambler tumbler (pictured), and, after feeling obligated to make a choice between the two insulated cups, I went with the Yeti," Associate Editor Jessica Cherner says. "It's easy to hold, it fits in my purse, and it takes only a minute or so to clean. Plus, it keeps your cold drinks cold for hours."

18K Gold Custom Clover Necklace

Finished in 18 karat gold, this customizable clover pendant makes for a good gift, even if the recipient isn't Irish. After all the four-leaf clover is a symbol of good luck, which anyone could use during their day-to-day. Whether they wear it on its own or layer it with other delicate chains, this piece will surely stand out, especially if it features their initials.

Shamrock Shaped Cutting Board

Unlike the four-leaf clover, the shamrock, which has three leaves, is a bit more common in nature, but it still represents good vibes—specifically love, faith, and hope. So if you're headed to a St. Patrick's Party at the home of a friend who loves to cook and host, showing up with a hand-carved serving platter is a good idea.

St. Patrick’s Day Candy Dishes, Set of 2

We couldn't help including an adorable set of candy dishes with classic Irish phrases on them. If you want to offer the hostess something sweet and don't have time to wait for the previous pick to ship, rest assured that you will receive this set within two days of ordering if you have Prime.

Cross Hatch Whiskey Glasses, Set of 4

Whiskey is perhaps the most iconic alcoholic beverage to come out of Ireland, so if you're not quite sure what to give your Irish friends, you can't go wrong with a set of whiskey glasses. These feature an elegant cross-hatched etching that makes them a bit more aesthetically pleasing than their more pared-down counterparts.

St. Patrick's Day Assorted Cookies Set

How adorable are these decorated sugar cookies? They taste as good as they look, so if you're headed to a St. Patrick's party, be sure to bring these. Warning: They're so good that they may disappear in a matter of seconds.

Lucky Charms Cereal Candle

We had to put a hyper realistic bowl of Lucky Charms on our list. What's more: This sweet find isn't just a decoration to use on holidays; it's a candle you can light whenever you need a quick hit of something sweet. It's a scented masterpiece that smells exactly like the cereal it's inspired by.

Lucky Shamrock Drop In Pot

Full disclosure: The dumb cane plant isn't included with the shamrock-decorated pot. If you want one, or any other plant from Lively Root, however, feel free to add one to your cart. This is the medium size, so go ahead and peruse some of the medium plants that would fit this planter well. Otherwise, order the pot by itself and have the recipient pick their own plant.

Craft Beer Tasting Kit

In addition to whiskey, stout is another signature Irish beverage that is best enjoyed on St. Patrick's Day, so why not gift your hosts a set of four glasses designed for beer? This set includes cups specially made for such sips as IPA, American wheat, stout, and barrel-aged beer, making sure your hosts will always have the perfect vessel on hand when they need it most.

Tepi Moss Throw Blanket

Similar to the shamrock throw pillow that appears earlier on our list, this fuzzy blanket feels like the perfect St. Patrick's Day gift, courtesy of its moss green and beige palette. It also isn't so on-theme that the hosts may be tempted to put it away after the holiday.

Knit Jumper

We couldn't round up our favorite Ireland-inspired finds and not include something with perhaps the most famous Irish brand name on the market. This knit sweater (or jumper, as they say across the pond) is made by the brand, so you know it's made with love. We can pretty much guarantee that whoever gets to wear it will wear it often.

Irish Fairy Tales and Folklore by W. B. Yeats

Last but certainly not least, one of Irish poet William Butler Yeats's most famous publications. Though he did not write these, he compiled and edited them, and originally published this tome as two separate volumes in the early days of the 20th century.
