Birthday Party Gift Bag Ideas

Posted by Janice Benoit Mar 28, 2008

Birthday Party season is upon us, as the summer months approach. Are you looking for clever items to fill your birthday goodie bags, but you don't want to break the bank? Now is the perfect time to start collecting those perfect treats.

Take inventory of your extra school supplies from the fall. Do you have extra pencils, erasers or crayons that could double as goodies? Have you shopped at your post-holiday sales all year long? If so, check your holiday inventory -- perhaps those black plastic spiders from Halloween could work for outdoor/camping/science themed parties. The noisemakers purchased from the New Year's Eve sales would be great for any kids' events! Just think outside of the box and repurpose kid-friendly items from throughout the year.

With these goodies as a base, fill in the holes with candy and inexpensive toys that are theme-specific for your event.
