What is St. Patrick’s day without a perfect pint of Guinness, (or if you’re from Chicago, a glass of Green River)? No matter what you’re sipping, make sure you have a cheery place to rest your drinks with these customizable coasters. They’re made from hard plastic, so they’ll last for many March 17 to come. Personalize them with your favorite toast (might we suggest “cheers” or even the Gaelic “sláinte,” if you’re feeling extra festive) or monogram for no additional cost—we just recommend leaving about a week for customization and delivery.

To buy: $34 for six; zazzle.com.

St. Patrick’s Day Cupcake Combo Pack

If you’re planning on making Guinness Cupcakes with Bailey’s Buttercream (or plain vanilla if you’re baking for the kids), why not add an extra Irish touch with this accessory kit? It comes with 24 liners and 24 shamrock picks—a perfect set if you’ve promised to bring in treats for the class. We thinking baking the cupcakes in these shamrock liners and then adding some green food coloring to the buttercream to create a green-tinted icing is a perfect homage to the day. And for a finishing touch, make sure you top each treat with one of the included decorative shamrock picks.

To buy: $2 for a set of 24; partycity.com.

Green Chevron Table Runner

Though bursting with flavor, the traditional St. Patrick’s Day meal (corned beef, potatoes, and cabbage) isn’t very colorful. So, it’s likely that you need a burst of color among the classics on your table. Our suggestion? Add a splashy runner in a playful print like this chartreuse green chevron one, to brighten up your buffet. It’s handmade and can be made to fit whichever length of table you’re searching for. Note: Orders usually ship within two to five days of ordering and table runners are non-returnable.

To buy: Starting at $15, etsy.com.

One great thing about decorating for a Saint Patrick’s Day party? You can never have too much green. Complete your festive home décor by hanging a few of these kelly green paper lanterns from the ceiling. Each lantern is sold with a wire insert to allow for easy hanging, so you can suspend them all around your house with ease. Thanks to the bright paper exterior, they look great even when not illuminated, but if you want to add some extra shine (or use them for outdoor lighting at night), you can also purchase the corresponding light kit, sold separately.

To buy: $13; jet.com.

Start a new family tradition by inviting this mischievous (but adorable!) leprechaun into your home.

Emerald Swirl Place Cards

When you think of celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, you’re probably imagining a trip to the local pub—not a chic dinner party at home. But why not use the 17th this year to host a meal that features traditional Irish cuisine like roasted lamb or shepherd’s pie? And opting for a sit-down meal doesn’t mean you have to do without the fun green accents, either. These personalized emerald swirl place cards provide a subtle nod to the color of the day: the white cards are embellished with jewel-toned green swirls, and will look great as you and your friends feast on Irish classics. Just don’t forget the whiskey-spiked cakes, bread and butter pudding, and craft ales for dessert!

To buy: $3 for 24, orientaltrading.com.
