Hi Moms,
We are renting out a kids indoor place for my son's 4th bday... It's already an expensive place to begin with (about 450 for 2 hours).. I'm "inviting" 27 kids but it will probably end up being about 18-20 attending... My son's theme is Bakugans... I don't want to spend a lot on the goody bags (plus, who REALLY cares about the goody bags for more than 3 minutes)... Can anyone give me any creative, cheap ideas of what I can have for a giveaway when the party ends for each of the kids???? Thank you :0)
Thanks everyone... I'm going to go with the Hershey bar idea and making personalized labels to cover them with.. THANK YOU!
Tie a balloon to a candy bar. I usually give one small candy, some fruit snacks, and a hot wheels car in my bags, because I would rather spend the money on one good toy they will keep than a bunch of junkey plastic things they will throw out.
I have a 5 yr old boy and all the recent parties we have been to the goodies are a cookie. What ever the theme is the cookie matches and a handmade sticker is placed on it that says something along the lines of "Thank You for making my birthday special".
I agree with Jen! I've bought large hershey bars and placed a custom wrapper over the original wrapper that says "Thanks for coming" and the kids loved them!
We've done $2 gift certificates to Baskin Robins the last two years; just enough for a cone and a huge hit w/ the parents and the kids!!
maybe a bakugan sticker, tied with ribbon around a cheap sucker or something.
a party my daughter went to the mom gave out the swimming noodles from the dollar store.. we used it all summer long also she tied a ballon to each noodle.

Is it one of those places that has the video games, putt putt golf, lazer tag, party room, gocarts etc? If so does the price include so many tokens or tickets per child? I think that would be enough as you are spending quite a bit already. If it is that kind of place and you really want to give goodie bags, maybe extra tokens to use before they leave. Or.....Silly bands are really in where I live (the shaped rubber band braclets). Even the boys are wearing them (they come in sports, ninja, dinosaurs, iron man, nemo etc.) My kids love the squiggly drinking straws, whistles, maracas, anything that makes noise, Hot Wheels (even though they are both girls)coupons from McD's for a free ice cream cone.
Happy 4th Birthday!
At a recent birthday party we went to, they had a small carton of chocolate milk, organic lemonade, a small coloring pad and truck stickers in the boys goody bags.
A pack of sidewalk chalk is about $1 on sale. Then add a couple of sidewalk game sheets (photocopy) and curley ribbon to dress it up.
You can buy a bag of a dozen rubber worms, snakes or lizards at the dollar store
I've included coloring pages matching the theme and personalized them with thanks for coming or a happy birthday message.The dollar store is also a great place to find stuff.
