St. Patrick's Day Pin-spirations

I LOVE pinning fun ideas for upcoming holidays.  And, since it is now March, that means that St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner.  I don't go crazy or overboard with decorations/gifts but I do use this day to show a little extra love to my family!

Here's some of the ideas I've been pinning...

Follow Holly @ While I'm Waiting...'s board St. Patrick's Day ideas on Pinterest.

This was the small set-up that I had waiting on the kiddos last year when they woke up on St. Patrick's Day:

Here's a little secret...lots of this stuff is gifted over and over.  :)  The shamrock glasses, the green beads, the gold coins, etc. - after St. Patrick's Day I just pack them away with the other decor and bring them out again next year.  The kids don't seem to mind - I think they just like having a little surprise waiting for them when they wake up!

And here's a few ideas that have me pin-spired for this year:

I LOVE a good scavenger hunt and so do the kiddos!  We've done this before for Valentine's Day but not for St. Patrick's Day.  March 17th happens to fall during our Spring Break this year so I think something like this will be perfect!

I recently went to Target and picked up some fun items that I plan to use for St. Patrick's Day:

I'll use them in the scavenger hunt but I'll also attach some super cute tags to them.  Here's a source for 50 free printables!!!

And since the kiddos are out of school, it will be a great time for them to take a treat to pass out at their dad's office.  This looks like a fun idea:
