Party bag 12 yo Ds

[Countrylifemama]

hi son is having 5 friends over for some gaming and movie night

i I have bought Nike crew socks and large sweet cone and mini card games to put in as party bag for his friends. I also bought Christmas socks as wasn’t sure to swap Nike socks for those

DH is saying the kids won’t really like socks and to give just sweet cones and card game

is giving socks as party bag filled a silly idea?

Think they are too old for that sorry

Please don't give them a party bag no matter what is in it! Provide pizza, pop, snacks and stay out of the way.

Either of my kids would be chuffed with Nike socks and treats, they are older, I am trying to think if they would have been silly about it at 12 and I can’t remember. You are v sweet though OP

I wouldn’t do them as party bags per se. Maybe put them in a basket as gifts for all?

Yes not putting in a party bag but a cellophane wrapping

They will be very happy with Nike socks! Just call it a gift bag rather than party bag to them so it doesn’t feel so childish, but I think it sounds great.

What does DS think? I offered to do party bags for DS1’s 13th recently and he just looked pityingly at me (and told me it was ‘very sweet, but…’).
