Let’s talk about unique party bag ideas for kids. Are lolly bags even necessary? NO! But if you have decided you would like to have unique party favours at your next kids’ birthday celebration, then you have come to the right place. Party Bags don’t have to be complicated; they shouldn’t be something you worry about or spend a lot of money on.
Less is more. Some goody bag ideas are just about giving one thing (such as a blow-up sword).

Ways to Make the Party Bags extra special
Make the bag itself stand out with some of these fun ideas:
1. Tie a helium balloon to each one (make sure you have something inside that has some weight)
2. Make your labels on the computer and personalise them with each child’s name
3. If it’s a girls party, you could give each one a little dollar store purse or bag full of treats
4. If it’s a pool party or beach theme, you could buy a plastic spade, fill the spade end with treats and wrap it in cellophane.
5. Buy a simple white paper bag, fill it and seal it by folding a round paper doily over the top and staple. The effect is vintage and pretty, and adding a small bow makes it even prettier!
6. Buy some hessian and sew up to make small pouches – perfect as a woodland party favour bag.
7. Make an excellent (and cheap!) butterfly favour bag using a ziplock sandwich bag, a peg and a pipe cleaner! Check out the easy tutorial here on the Baked Bree blog.
