Leprechaun Cookie Jars and Collectibles

By , About.com Guide

It's fun to decorate for the various holidays and that becomes more evident every year when loads of merchandise starts showing up in the stores to help celebrate and decorate. St. Patrick's Day is no exception. Although there isn't as much stuff available as the major holidays, I'm sure part of the reason is the two celebrations right before and after it, Valentine's Day and Easter. It can get to be a little bit of a time crunch to do it all.

All the major collectible companies will have something for the Irish and St. Patrick's Day -- it just takes a little searching to figure out what's available. Some companies to check out would be Lenox, Annalee, Ty and Radko for fun collectibles.

Although these pieces are from years past, you can also celebrate St. Patricks Day with a Leprechaun Cookie jar. Most of these jars were sold by Hobby Lobby, but the one worth the bag of gold is Don Winton's limited edition piece. It's hard to find and can be costly when it is found.
