Help :), Children's Party Bags?!
Help :), Children's Party Bags?
Hi Guy's, I need to organise 10 party bags for 6 girls and 4 boys, aged between 8 and 11. My budget is ￡5.00 per bag, does anybody have any novel ideas, something a bit different?
Thanks so much in anticipation.
Answers:
well you can go to Claire's for the girls, you can buy a party bag or buy some hair stuff. mini note pads
boys can have cars and mini action men
both girls and boys can have pens, sweets, little ornaments, small games/toys etc
if some of them like making you could get them stickers, glitter pom poms coloured fearthers, you can get a bag with all sorts of crafty things in the Pound Shop
hope that helps!
I think argos do a pack, bags, hats noisemakers etc etc
Be a first don't give one
Put the money in the bags ;o)
check out ebay. Search for party/lootbag, and loads of different things will be on there.Good luck
Individually wrapped candies, noisemakers, small toys that you can purchase at any Dollar store - you can tailor the toys for the boys and girls. $1 gift certificates to McDonald's or a local ice cream shop... Adding confetti might make it fun...
If you're having a themed party, try putting in the basics like candy and a special something related to the theme. For example, my little sister bought stuffed animals for a zoo themed party. If you want inexpensive candy, get it in bulk and sort out the candy with your child. I hope this helps!
Here is the US we have dollar stores and they are great for finding inexpensive stuff for ditty (party) bags. If you have anything like that where you are go take a look?
I used to make playdough for my kids ditty bags. My kids would pick out what colors and what scent/flavor they wanted the dough. It's really cheap and easy to make. (email me and I will give you the recipe).
￡5! Good God you're going mad. Or I'm tight maybe. lol

They have so many good ideas.
a bottle of bubbles, some candy, noisemakers, poppers, a couple of balloons for them to blow up at home, small toys like jacks, a bag of marbles, or street chalk, that should do it
- A candy bar
- A hair clip for the girls/A matchbox car for the boys
- Talk to ice cream stores/candy stores and see if they have like $2/3 gift cards
- maybe some school supplies (pencils, erasers etc)
- if they collect some type of sport/ cartton/ comic book cards then 1/2 cards
This is another idea I saw at a b'day party but I think it takes some effort. The mom figured out the book that the kids like and had an appointment with the author to get those books signed. It did not cost her much but the kids were really happy.
I would go a pound shop or a 99p shop if you have one near and get some toys, colouring in things, sweets etc i have even seen disposabe cameras in ours that might be a nice little extra then they can take pictures at the party xxx
Try Hawkins Bazaar - they're great for cheap stocking fillers and party bags - available online or you can order a catalogue from them if you prefer and if there's no store near you.
go to in store you find party gifts for party bags there

You can buy in bulk, internet or phone. Cheaper than in most stores.
They even have express delivery.
p.s. Not sure they deliver outside the U.S. but check it out. :)
If there is a target by you-go to the dollar section, they always have great things for kids..games, pencils, notebooks, toys, etc
try www.orientaltrading.com. They have a lot of cheap crap, but some really wonderful fun stuff too - I always get something to wear that fits the theme (cowboy hats, bandanas, sombreros, sun visors) cups that go with the theme, and a craft that goes too. My guests are always happy to have some dress up thing, a new fun cup to remind them of the party and a craft that they made.
Good luck and have fun
Try going to a Walmart or a party city,they should most likely have something in your budget.Get some tootsie rolls,Jolly rancher candies,some gum and whatever else that is in in your budget.Of course some kids might like to have the money,I know I would(kidding).Good luck.
for the girls put in lip gloss, mini notebooks, candy, erasers,im just givin you ideas, boys hot wheels[cars], candy, gooey gross stuff, toy bugs, you get the picture, it depends on what the girls and boys like.
