'Eco' / unusual / cheap-ish party bag ideas?!

[BarryMcguigan]

First birthday coming up and probably have ten children there from 1yrs -5.

Any good ideas for party bags that aren't full of plastic toot that I will get the guilts over?!

Thanks!

Paper bags, with a seed bomb/packet of seeds. Lanka kade wooden animal? (Depending on how much you want to spend/how many kids) tinti bath colour things. Spinning tops, piece of cake. Most parents will be grateful if there's not much in it!

Cress seeds and an eggcup to grow them in?

Great ideas thanks!! Love the idea of the cress!

We recently went to a party with no party tat, just a pick and mix of able so the children could choose sweets to take away with them.

Forgot to mention that the bags were paper

DD's last party we got wooden boxes for each child in lieu of party bags. Part of the party they decorated and stuck their pre-printed names on them (paint and stickers) then they did a few games and winnings (mainly sweets and a book) went in the box.

A lot of people give books instead of party bags, always seems to go down well
