Ideas for party bags for 7/8 yr old girls please?

[nowwearefour]

i have always done gifts before or craft items to take home but dd1 is DESPERATE for actual party bags this year. i have no clue what to spend if about 20 children at the party and what to put in them !

I would buy a few big bags of sweets & have dd offering them to her guests when they leave. My Dd is 8 & we have done this for a couple of years now, goes down well.

I think crafts are nice - what about handmade fimo badge for each girl with their name on?

I usually buy sets of books from The book People - Roald Dahl are good for this age group or sticker books? Regarding how much to spend - as little as possible I would aim for about £1 per bag.

You could try raiding the 99p and poundshop for things like pens, notebook sets etc to split up. Also good place for lots of little sweets.

Pound shop tat - hair bobbles, marker pens etc. Small bouncy balls, yo-yos etc. Get multi packs of mini haribos and lolly mix, few of those in each.

Proper party bags are meant to be full of rubbish!

moshi monster figures
hair clips etc
stationery
those elastic band things in shapes (forget what they are called)
chocolate
cake

Ooooh some great ideas! I have always done books but this year they are not wanted! I will find a pound shop !

Sainsburys is often quite good for nice hair accessory stuff very cheap. Gel pens in nice colours go down well, and smelly rubbers. I grab stuff 70% off from the Accessorise January sale, but I realise that's not much help for you.

I love party bags me.

How about jubilee themed party bags?

Its my daughters 8th birthday in Oct and already sorted the party bags...

We have :

Butterfly shaped lipglosses (butterfly themed party)
Smelly highlighters
Gel pen
Memo pad (pack of 8 from 99p store)
Push up colour pencil
Shaped elasticate band
rings
Balloon
Striped sweetie bags filled with sweets

-boys have the same apart from the rings and lipglosses and they have whoopie cushions and Mario badges instead.....
