From festive St. Patrick’s Day celebrations to spring-inspired adventures, there’s something for everyone in yet another bucket list of the month below!
March is here, bringing a fresh breeze of change, a splash of green, and just the right amount of luck! Let's shake off the winter blues, embrace the first signs of spring, and chase a little Irish magic with this list of 31 fun ideas that will help you make the most of the month. Now, grab your lucky charm, step into the sunshine (or dance in the rain), and let’s make March memorable!
March - the month for a touch of green and good fortune!
Gratitude Craft - Create a gratitude craft to count your blessings. Try a rainbow of sticky notes filled with things you’re thankful for or a “pot of gold” jar where you drop daily gratitude notes. This little project will remind you that luck isn’t just about four-leaf clovers—it’s about appreciating the good already in your life. 🌈🍀✨
Seed Shopping & Herb Garden Creation - March is the perfect time to dream up your garden! Browse seed catalogs or visit a local nursery to pick out fresh herbs and veggies. Get to planting a windowsill herb garden or planning a full backyard oasis. Focusing on a green project will have you feeling like spring is already in bloom! 🌱
Casino Playdate - Try your luck with a friendly casino-themed night at home, or head to a local gamblers' paradise. Whether it’s poker, blackjack, or just some slot machine fun, grab a few friends, set a budget, and enjoy the thrill of the game. Bonus points if you wear something lucky—because you never know when fortune will favor you! 🎰🍀
Cash in or begin a spare change jar - Got a stash of coins weighing down your wallet? Take them to a coin machine and see how much you’ve saved, and then add them to your sinking funds. If you don’t have a jar started yet, now’s the time. Set a goal (vacation fund, treat-yourself money, or a future splurge) and let those pennies add up! 💰
Invest - Create your own pot of gold! Instead of searching for the end of the rainbow, why not start building your own pot of gold? Put some money into stocks, a high-yield savings account, or your retirement fund. Even a small investment now can grow into a lucky fortune later! I use SoFi for my financial goals. If you're interested in kickstarting your high-yield journey, use my link to open a SoFi account and get a $25 bonus! ✨
Read A Court of Mist and Fury - Get lost in the world of magic, romance, and adventure with this fan-favorite fantasy novel. Perfect for a cozy night in, it’ll sweep you away faster than you can say “fae magic.” If you're new to ACOTAR, I promise things heat up after book 1. Keep reading! 📖🖤
Listen to Celtic music - Immerse yourself in the rich sounds of Ireland with traditional Celtic music. For an extra challenge, put away your screens, gather some loved ones, and enjoy a tech-free evening filled with music, storytelling, and maybe even a little Irish dancing! 🎻🎶
Celebrate International Women's Day - A mini reading list to help you celebrate women today. Honor the incredible contributions of women throughout history by reading books that celebrate their strength and achievements. Try a feminist manifesto or a biography of an inspiring woman, and take some time to reflect on and appreciate their impact. 💜♀️
Watch the Sunrise for Daylight Savings - And later on, enjoy a nap. Losing an hour of sleep isn’t fun, but watching the sunrise can make up for it! Grab a warm drink, soak in the early morning light, and then—let’s be honest—plan for a well-deserved afternoon nap. ☀️😴
Mario Day Game Night - March 10th (Mar10 = Mario!) is the perfect excuse for a game night! Fire up your favorite Super Mario games, challenge friends or family, and celebrate everyone’s favorite mustached plumber in style. 🍄🎮
Thrift Gold Jewelry - Hunt for hidden treasures at a thrift store and see if you can score some secondhand gold jewelry! Whether it’s vintage rings, dainty necklaces, or bold statement pieces, you might just strike gold—literally! 💍✨
Germinate seeds to prepare for your outdoor decor - Get a head start on your spring garden by germinating seeds indoors! Whether you’re growing flowers, herbs, or veggies, this little act of patience will pay off when it’s time to plant outside. 🌱
Find & Go to Live Festive Music - There’s nothing like the energy of live Celtic or Irish music! Maybe your community has a great local Irish pub, a festival, or a St. Patrick's Day-specific gig; let the lively tunes transport you straight to the rolling hills of Galway or the rocky roads of Dublin. 🎶🍀
Irish Whiskey Date with Friends - Gather your friends for a whiskey-tasting night featuring some of Ireland’s finest! Try a few different brands, compare notes, and maybe even learn a bit about the history behind this smooth, golden spirit. 🥃
Volunteer at a Nursing Home - Brighten someone’s day by spending time at a local nursing home. Whether you’re playing games, listening to stories, or just offering company, your kindness can make a world of difference. ❤️
Irish Movie Night - From heartfelt dramas to fun comedies, there’s no shortage of great Irish films. Grab some popcorn and cozy up with my favorite recommendation, the 1999 made-for-TV mini-series, The Magical Legend of the Leprechauns. 🎬
Celebrate St. Patrick's Day - Go all out with green outfits, festive food, and a little Irish cheer! Join a parade, host a themed party, or enjoy a pint of Guinness; embrace the spirit of the day! 🍀
Indulge in a Scratch Ticket or two - Try your luck with a couple of scratch-off tickets! You might win big, but more likely you'll just get a moment to enjoy the excitement. It’s a fun way to embrace possibility and the lucky vibes of March. 🎟️✨
Move Night - Lord of the Rings - What better way to celebrate March than with an epic Lord of the Rings marathon? The rolling green hills of the Shire and an adventure full of luck and bravery make it the perfect pick. 🏔️📜
Celebrate the First Day of Spring with a Fire - Welcome the new season with a cozy outdoor fire! Roast marshmallows, tell stories, and embrace the warmth as winter officially melts away. My family and I have made a tradition of this, which we look forward to year after year.🔥🌸
Planetarium - Take a trip to a planetarium and gaze at the stars in recognition of the changing seasons as our ancestors did. March skies are full of celestial beauty, and there’s something magical about seeing the universe up close. 🌌✨
Go Wild & Good Luck - Get bangs, a spontaneous tattoo, or Something Bold! Shaking things up! Take a spontaneous leap and do something daring—try something new, something that makes you feel bold and maybe a little bit wild! 🍀✂️
Host a Favorite Things Party - Gather your friends and have everyone bring their favorite small item (snack, beauty product, book, etc.) to swap! It’s a fun way to share what you love and discover new favorites. Pop over to Pinterest for some inspo! 🎁
Celebrate Spring Break - Even if you’re not in school, take a mini break! Plan a fun getaway, a staycation, or just dedicate a day to doing something completely relaxing. ☀️🏖️
Watch a 'Green' Documentary - Learn more about sustainability, nature, or eco-friendly practices with a documentary focused on the environment. Bonus points if you take action afterward! 🌿🌎
Group Exercise Class - Get moving with a fun workout class! Whether it’s yoga, spin, or dance, it’s a great way to energize yourself for spring. I've recently started Buti Yoga, and I can't rave enough about this energizing good time!💪
Paint in Shades of Green - Unleash your creativity with a green-themed painting session! From landscapes to abstract art, embrace the color of the season and let your imagination flow. 🎨🍃
Craft Sun-Catchers - Capture the early spring sunlight with a DIY sun-catcher! You could try stained glass, beads, or tissue paper, and this craft will brighten up any space. ☀️✨
Make Seed Bombs - Spread a little green by making seed bombs! These little balls of seeds and soil can be tossed into gardens, empty lots, or anywhere you want flowers to grow. Be a beauty bandit and toss them throughout your city this spring!🌻🌱
Gift Neighbors Lucky Charms Rice Crispy Treats - Share the luck by whipping up some delicious Lucky Charms Rice Krispies treats and surprising your neighbors with a sweet St. Paddy’s Day gift! 🍀🍚
Make & Watch Green Eggs & Ham - Celebrate the last day of March with a fun and colorful meal! Cook up some green eggs and ham, then enjoy the classic story in print or on Netflix. 🥚📖
From celebrating strong women to indulging in a little Irish cheer, each of these ideas adds a touch of adventure, creativity, and connection to the season. So, whether you cashed in your spare change, painted in shades of green, or just curled up with a good book, here’s to a March well spent—and all the exciting things still ahead! 🌈🍀✨
