Tips for planning the perfect goody bag
If you are planning your next big
party for your kid, don’t forget about the goody bags. Kids love
parties because there is usually some type of gift-giving involved.
As you get ready for your party, keep these tips handy for planning
the perfect goody bag.
Age matters
If you will invite kids of a large age-range, be sure to incorporate
gifts for each appropriate age group. Here’s a good rule of thumb to
remember: 2-3 years age difference is no big deal; an age difference
of 4 or more years will require greater consideration as to what
type of gifts to include in your goody bag.
Size matters
Kids love to compare. The “mine’s bigger than your’s” syndrome will
probably never die. When planning your goody bags, remember to
include a comparative variety in every bag. This will prevent a big
headache from whining kids in the end.
Price matters not
Don’t feel pressured to purchase high-ticket items to put inside
your goody bags. Kids are often so excited about the party itself
that they don’t pay very much attention to the gifts. While you
don’t want to necessarily purchase the cheapest things on the shelf,
don’t feel like you have to buy expensive or flashy gifts to include
in your gift bags.
Quality is better than quantity
Stay away from buying lots of small, cheap toys and items that will
simply fill your goody bags. As an alternative, search for quality
items that will last and that the kids will want to use over and
over again.
Quick Ideas
Some good ideas for the perfect goody bag gifts include:
party-themed plastic kid-sized cups, colorful pencils, small
notepads, plastic jacks and ball, stickers, plastic hand clappers
and kazoos.
