Cheap and Easy Goody Bag Ideas

Hello There,

For my son's first birthday I did a bubble theme. I had bubbles out in different areas and I set up a bubble machine that automatically puts out bubbles- the kids loved this. For the goody bags I gave a bottle of bubbles, light blue big bouncy balls, and a little tube of bubble bath. This was so easy and my son had a blast.

Hope this helps!

I just went to a two year old party and received the cutest..easist gift bag. She used plain lunch bags and filled them with the following goodies:

tiny playdough
two sticker stripes
little notepad
four crayons

She hole punched the top of the bag and used mulicolored ribbon to tie it closed. REally cute, really easy...very inexpensive!!

Good Luck

you can use lunch bags, a pack of brown paper lunch bags are very inexpensive. Whatever the theme is, you can go on-line a print out the character or theme and glue/paste it on each bag. Also if you have left over halloween candy, you can put that inside or buy inexpensive favors that they can use. For example, pencils, erasers, stickers (materials for learning)

There are these pans you can buy that you can bake cookies with a stick in them, so they look like suckers. You can wrap some plastic wrap over them, and tie it with a bow and a little note card...who doesn't love cookies? Thats a nice gift for all your guests...young and old.

Try Oriental Trading Company. I learned about them from the Martha Stewart Show. The website is: www.orientaltrading.com
They have tons of great and reasonable goodies for kids or anything else. I've bought things from here many times.
Good luck,

R.:

for our daughter's first birthday party, I went to the local Smart & Final and got large chinese take-out boxes. I filled these with bubbles, small squirter toys, and depending on the age of the receipient, either a little rattle/jingle toy or small favor-sized tubs of Play-doh. I also tucked in little tubes of lip gloss or sticky lizards, depending on the gender. I managed to get all of these for cheap (average $1 or less) by checking out the local Target store's $1 bin area, the $0.99 store and the local drug store. Good luck!

1 year we gave out buckets of sidewalk chalk from the $.99 store. Good Luck!

For my son's first birthday, I got a couple small toys that were safe for kids that age and then filled the rest of the bag with granola bars and Gerber fruit snacks.

Hope that helps!
