DS is 2 in a couple of weeks and like last year we'll be having a relatively small party in our house. Last year I didn't do party bags as all the children attending were around the same age and thought it was a little bit pointless.
All the children's parties I've been to in the past year have given DS a party bag on the way out, most of which includes stuff he's never used: bouncy ball (way too small) whistle (far too noisy) those bubble blower things (all stacked up in a cupboard) and a few bits of chocolate.
I'll buy a big specially made cake for him and give everyone a bit when they are leaving (like last year)
I think a few more older children will be attending this year, so I suppose it's more of the norm to do them, I just would rather spend the money on the buffet / decorations / cake than a bit of plastic tat that will be shoved in a cupboard / bin and forgotten about.
So AIBU or not? What do you think...?!
