Exciting party bags ideas that aren't tat

[Cerialkiller]

Joint kids birthday so saving money there so I'd like to do something nice/different for the party bags without blowing the budget and limiting sweets and plastic.

So far they have a box of smarties, a bamboo flyer toy, personalised grow your own sunflower seeds and a sticker kit where you make an animal face. They are also getting a cupcake in a box to take home.

It's all a bit light so I'd like to add a couple of things to fill the bag a bit more. Both boys and girls attending, age range 4-6. Thanks so much.

I used to put stationery in. Split a multi pack of fancy pencils or gel pens.

You can still get multi packs of puzzle or colouring books.

What you've got is plenty, we used to use balloons to decorate and send every kid home with a balloon or 2 as well as the party bag, saved on tidy up and they love balloons, you can also make it an activity by having a pack of Sharpies and getting them to make balloon people by drawing faces on them.

One year I got personalised colouring pencils with the child's name on. They were well received.
