What would you honestly think of this 'party bag'?

[WannaBeWonderWoman]

Not a actual bag, but a plastic plant pot with a bag of soil and flower seeds inside together with sweets and cake, and a balloon tied to it with ribbon?

DC 7.

I was sick of bags full of tat so thought I'd try something different and constructive.

Thinking I might come across as a pretentious twat now.

I think it's great and DC would have enjoyed it at that age.

pretentious. Sorry. Are you going to ask for no presents but money towards a goat for the poor too?
How about a book for each kid, Bookpeople do great bargains on good books.

I'm stealing this idea!

My DD (7) would LOVE that!

They have funky plants to grow in pots in wilkos, think they are on offer at moment. I thought was a great idea to do with dd.

I think it's lovely and not at all pretentious. Normal party bags are almost always filled with tat that goes straight in the bin. I think it's a really great idea.

Very nice :) if my charge came home with one we would have fun planting the seeds and watch them grow.

You can get compostable pots on Amazon.
Lovely idea

Lovely idea, will steal it .

I think that sounds lovely. You can get bio-degradable balloons which are more environmentally friendly?

I think it is lovely.

I bought cheap water bottles and filled them with sweets once, they were really well received and I thought they would be useful once all the sweets were gorged upon!

Sort of green in that they were reuseable!

I would like that - esp if you get seeds that grow quickly so the kids can enjoy!

I did something similar a few years ago... bag of sweets/plastic tat and a choice of a cake mix or sunflower seeds growing kit. Some of the -parents- kids had a little competition to see whose could grow the biggest (sunflower not cakes lol).

I think they will be well received.

I have a secret love of plastic tat but your plant idea is great.

Only thing is I never like getting unblown up balloons in party bags as I'm always scared someone will choke.

Oh but I now notice your balloons are inflated! Lovely party bag.

My daughter would love it.

I would love it and I think it’s great to encourage kids to grow plants. Great idea

In fact mind if I nick it for my sons birthday soon :)

sounds sweet

Lovely idea, but it would go straight in the bin once it got home like all the other party bags. I’d proberbly feel slightly annoyed that you’ve given something my DD could get fixated on doing without regard to my time and space to have a plant growing, stuff like this is what I organise and plan not just get ambushed about after a party.

Blimey. Planting seeds takes about ten seconds. Same with watering. Hardly an ambush.

Ambushed😂. Iv heard it all now!

That's a really nice idea, wish I'd thought of it when mine were younger! Maybe sunflower, marigold or nasturtiums, all germinate quickly.

I like it. But then I abhor the tat.

I think DS would enjoy planting it (he's younger than 7), so win, win.

Lovely idea.
FWIW if you want pretentious I put kids Shakespeare books in 10yr old DS's party bags. He'd had a football party though so I wasn't a totally boring mum.
