1st birthday goodie bag suggestions!!! HELP***

[~Saram~]

We did the little tubs of playdough - kmart/target (pk of 10-12 I think) and balloon plus some little things from Spotlights party section - I think they had little crayons and things

[Pandora]

In DS1's I put:

baby primas (as in the ones in the baby aisle)
balloon
bubble mix

I think the finger puppet idea is good aslo

ds got some socks in a party bag, they were $2 from toysrus and a great little pesent for him at that age - 8 weeks - the party mum made different bags for the big and little kids. there was also a rubber duckie and a redskin for mummy

At Jack's party we had a huge age range of kids (lots of kids in the family)

For the under 2's we had...

A t-shirt with their names printed on them (made them myself with iron-on transfer paper)
A bottle of bubble mix (like they have at weddings..very cheap from $2 shops)
One of those fancy curly straws (very cheap from BigW)

You could also add a fruit stick, baby biscuits, baby muesli bars etc..

We put in Juliette's

* small rubber duck
* Baby Mum Mums (rice crackers)
* Fruit Pole (dried fruit stick)
* spoon & fork set (from the $2 shop)

I think the 1 and 2 yo ones are the hardest as so many of the party bag toys are for over 3's. Most of them don't seem dangerous to me but I don't want to take the chance with other people's children.

Stickers are a hit with all ages - you can buy little books with small pages of stickers for next to nothing. Also balloons - you can buy a packet and put one in each bag. At that age I also put in a box of sultanas.

I think the finger puppet idea is awesome.

We had a duckie-themed party for DD2 and I made some lovely duck biscuits iced in soft pastel colours. Every guest (young and old) took home a cellophane bag with 2 biscuits in it.

Other ideas:
Tiny box of sultanas
Bottle of bubbles (at this age they still need help but love the bubbles anyway)
Small bath squirter toy
Duplo minifig (can buy them seperately online)

BTW MrsB I *love* the sock idea!!

We had a 2nd birthday party for Claire this year and we made little party bags for her. I used some noodle boxes (i had heaps left over from something else and I wanted to get rid of them) and put in them:
- some little cheapo toys I bought from a $2 shop (but i think the finger puppets sound cooler!) ,
- a little bottle of bubbles (what kid doesnt like bubbles? you cna buy a huge box of them at $2 shops for really cheap),
- balloon
- and something else but I cant remember what it was...?

Wow there are some awesome ideas!!

I had a big win at IKEA last night, they had the packets of 10 finger pupets reduced from 4.95 to 1.95 so making them less than 20 cents each, I got a heap and will split them across the bags.

Bubbles sound great oo, I did have some left from our wedding but gave them away, so might try and hunt some more down.

Mmm Baby Mum Mum's, Sultanas are cool too

Rayray ~ what are baby primas?

I love rubber rubber duckies too!!

Thankyou so much for all of your ideas!
