Six year old party bags

[MrsStrongman]

I’m really struggling for good ideas for a six year olds party bags. There will be 20-25 children mostly the same age as birthday boy but a few older & a few younger.
Any ideas?

My 6 year old loves Pokémon so I went on AliExpress and got some stationery sets that were about 70p each (couple of pencils, stencil ruler, eraser, sharpener and notebook in a bag) so just did them plus a bag of sweets. Oh and a wristband (also on Ali for pence). At least it's stuff that should get used.

Bubble wands, stickers, sweets/lollys, novelty erasers.

@ThePug my DS is Pokémon obsessed so this is a great idea! Thank you.

Agree pencils, notebooks on a theme are a hit. Plus mini bag of haribo! Tattoos always a hit in my house.

About that sort of age I used to buy a box set of books from The Works/Book People and split them up, one book per child. Worked out to about £1 or so each and no plastic tat! (The kids would probably have preferred the tat I'm sure!)

Does the party have a theme at all?

I made sweet cones and marshmallow kebabs?

Agree, party bags are a bloody menace, give a book and some sweets and leave it at that.

Down with plastic crap!

We did a 6 year old class party last week and party bags had:
Squishy ball, Dino glider, finger puppet, party blower, bubbles and a little bag of pick n mix (made up from supermarket sweets).
The party blowers were annoyingly very well liked but the biggest hit with every single one of them were the squishy balls. Got everything from the poundtoy website.

Bubbles
Hair clips
Yo-Yo
Cupcake
Tattoos
Mini Note pads & pens.

I got a huge cardboard box, filled it with shredded paper and did a lucky dip - the kids loved it. I budgeted £1 an item and got books from the works, frisbees/bubble wands/pens/pencils etc from Wilko/pound shop/b&m and wrapped them in wrapping paper. They all lined up at the end to have a rummage in the big box and find a present. I then gave a small party bag with the cake in it.

No to party bags usually full of plastic tat, stuff we already have plenty of (like bubbles) or just stuff that goes in the bin.

I recently did sweet cones for my daughters party and My DD went to a party near Easter and they all got an Easter egg instead.

I love this idea!

I'm mean.
Balloon, mini haribo, bubble wand, cake.
Done.

Sweet cones, NO plastic tat.

pre Covid I am pretty sure there was always a party bag pick and mix next to the greeting cards all major super stores.

If you are competitive parenting, then read on, my son (8) has received a mini drone, a light up yo-yo and tickets to the latest town football game 😂😜 this is all true btw but I don’t recommend!

Personally I like practical things like a pencil, rubber, sharpener, slice of cake, as a surprise one of them little balsa wood planes etc - perfect party bag IMO
