So I'm working on DS's 9th birthday party - set for Feb 3rd - and I wanted to run my current plans for goodie bags past you guys.
I struggle with these every year - I don't just want to give cheap junk that costs an arm and a leg and gets tossed because it breaks right away
So here is what I am thinking right now - let me know what you guys think!!!
- Glowsticks (2 or 3 bracelet size in each bag)
- Candy, Assorted (small amount, really just getting rid of last of Halloween candy honestly!)
- Chocolate Chip Cookies (Homemade, jumbo size, super good recipe and I was going to use the clear food bags you get in the cake section - have them leftover from Christmas - will slip a couple cookies down inside and then add curled ribbon tied around neck of the bag)
- Dipped Pretzel Rods (Have almond bark, etc. and sprinkles on hand already - thought I could do 3-4 in more food bags from cake section - but is this too much food?)
- Mini Boxes of Cereal + Color Changing Spoon
- Small colorful plastic whistle on stretchy spiral bracelet
All of this will go in plain brown paper sacks I'll decorate the heck out of with brightly colored scrapbook papers.
Does that sound like enough? Too much?
