When we were kids, back in the 1970's, we used to get a balloon, a 'blowie thing' and maybe some crayons, and a bit of birthday cake wrapped in a serviette. In recent years I have experienced my neices and nephews parties, which have party bags with stuff in that costs between £10-£15 each??!!! We are talking Beanie baby teddies etc etc. Personally I think this is ludicrous.....as if bringing up kids isn't expensive enough. I would be happy to do 'traditional' party bags for my DD's 1st birthday in May, but fear I will get them thrown back in my face by the little brats...!!!! I once read an article in good housekeeping about how it was now like a competition between mums to see who could go one better than the last party bag.....is this true??!!!!!
