Cheap St. Patrick's Day Gifts for Kids Under $10

Cheap St. Patrick's Day gifts for kids will let you live the life of Reilly without bolloxing up your bank account. These 7 gifts for kids are all under $10.

Leprechaun Confetti: These little guys come in green, gold and white all holding shamrocks in one hand. Something about leprechauns usually cheeses me off but these look a right gas. They're made of rather durable metallic foil so you can even scatter them around for decorations. ($1.99 for 2 ounces)

St. Patrick's Day Charm Bracelet Kits: These kits make it easy to throw a jewelry-making party. They're easy for kids to assemble and surprisingly sturdy for the low price. Each set includes plastic beads and 3 different kinds of enamel charms with shamrocks, leprechaun faces, and coins on a 12 inch stretchy cord plus instructions and extra pieces. They're all pre-packaged so all those little parts won't get lost. ($7.99 for 12 kits)

Irish Rubber Duckies: These 2 inch tall vinyl rubber ducks are dressed like Irishmen. They really do float but they don't stay upright. Neither do real ducks when they're diving for food so just reassure your kids they're not drowning. ($5.99 per dozen)

Pope's Hat With Beard: Sure, no one really needs a mitre with an attached beard all in green, but it looks pretty impressive. It may even help you get your kids interested in hearing the real story of St. Patrick. Hold onto it for Halloween if you run out of costume ideas. ($2.49)

Sparkling Leprechaun Shoes: These felt shoes are covered in green sequins with jingle bells, vinyl bottoms, and elastic strips for a snug fit. The description says they're 10 inches but reviewers claim they only fit children. So either someone is lying about their shoe size or parents won't be able to borrow them. ($3.99 a pair)

Irish Fortune Cookies: Pack some green fortune cookies with Irish sayings into your kid's lunch or serve them after dinner. I'm Irish and I'd much rather eat lo mein than corn beef and cabbage. ($5.99 for 50 cookies)

St. Patrick's Day Tattoos: Kids love temporary tattoos and they have so many uses. Children can wear them, use them for decorations and crafts, or share them with their friends. You get 6 different designs including mostly shamrocks and leprechauns. ($4.99 for 72 pieces)

Don't let your babbies celebrate arseways. Get cheap St. Patrick's Day gifts for kids.
