Got a birthday party coming up? One of the many tasks on your checklist will be to source some affordable but original items for the party bags.

So if you’re looking for inspiration for kids’ party bags ideas, you’ve come to the right place!

In this article, we’re going to take you through what to put in party bags, with some fun and ingenious suggestions!

Packet of seeds

Include something useful and educational that will last way beyond the party with a packet of seeds.

You could include vegetable seeds to help encourage children to eat their greens or seeds for bright and beautiful blooms like sunflowers, marigolds or sweet peas.

Children will be thrilled to have a little post-party project to get into!

Bubble bottles

No birthday party is complete without a bottle of bubbles.

Buy packets in bulk, so you always have a supply on hand – as well as making excellent party bag favours, they can be a fun way to start a party or can be whipped out when your kids are bored and need a distraction.

See whether your party guests can wait till they get home before they start blowing clouds of beautiful bubbles!

Water pistols

Another all-time favourite, water pistols, make a great party bag item for summer parties.

If you have active kids, you could even make a water fight the finale of your party.

Just make sure that it takes place outside, and that party outfits don’t get ruined.

Homemade goodies

Get your child to help you make some homemade goodies in the run-up to the party to include in gift bags.

These could be something as simple as flapjacks or brownies, or you could have a go at making your own chocolates or iced biscuits.

Package them in individual bags secured with a ribbon, and you have a unique and beautiful party bag gift.

Books

Buy kids’ books in bulk and include one in each party bag.

It’s a way of giving children something lasting and educational after the party that they can relish at home.

Kids can always swap their books with other partygoers if they already have the one assigned to them… bartering is half the fun, of course!

Marbles

You can probably remember party bags for kids from your childhood containing at least one “old-fashioned” toy.

The good news is that some of the traditional toys like marbles have never gone out of fashion! Include a pack of marbles in your party bag, and enjoy watching the kids get stuck into a game.

Remember that they’re not suitable for very young children as they pose a choking hazard.

Gingerbread man kit

Continuing the traditional theme, why not include a gingerbread man decorating kit in your party bags?

Kits come with a ready-made gingerbread man, icing and decorations and are super simple to use.

Not to mention that they are also delicious to eat… so it will be a hit with the kids for sure!

Homemade soap

You don’t have to be super creative to make homemade soap to include in your party bags.

Simple soap recipes include only a few ingredients and can be made from your own kitchen.

You can make the soaps kid-friendly by using animal-shaped moulds or fruity fragrances that they will love!

Craft project

Give party guests something they can have fun making and treasure for a long time with a craft project.

This could be anything from a decorate-your-own photo frame kit to a packet of modelling clay for them to dream up their own creations.

Whatever you choose, know that your guests can have fun carrying on the party once they get home!

Customised wristbands

Children love anything colourful with their name on, so customised wristbands tick all your party bag boxes.

Have a bunch of comfortable, long-lasting silicone wristbands individually personalised with party guests’ names for a memorable gift that won’t cost a fortune.

Choose from wide silicone wristbands that make a statement or a regular-sized wristband that kids will love just as much. Wristbands will serve as a reminder of your child’s awesome birthday party for months to come!
