Is Your Goodie Bag Game Strong Enough?

Goodie bags have become part of planning a kid's birthday party, and are a fun and thoughtful way to show appreciation for your party guests. Whether you fill them with toys, treats or a fun craft, your kids will definitely be talking about them for days. Just remember to keep it age-appropriate and be sure to include a mix of fun and useful items. That way, everyone leaves with a smile!


Personalised Sixpence Collection Party Bags: Make Them Feel Special!


The first step in creating memorable goodie bags is selecting the ideal party bags from Sixpence Collection. We have a range of muslin party bag sizes available and designs catering to various themes and age groups. We also have mini and large size tote bags, which are great for sleepovers and when you are wanting to include larger items for your guests.


Consider your child’s favourite colours or the party theme when choosing bags (like a unicorn for the unicorn-obsessed kid or a soccer themed design for your little sports fan).

What should I include inside?


Now that you have the perfect bags, it’s time to fill them with delightful surprises. The goodie bag contents can be just as important as the bags themselves.


Here are a few ideas:


  • Edible Treats: Think fun sized chocolates or lollies (grab when on special from the supermarket), lollipops or mini bags of popcorn.


  • Toys and Trinkets: Small toys like bouncy balls, keychains, stickers and temporary tattoos keep the fun alive. Choose something that's small but also super fun. Parents will also appreciate no mess options (because no one wants a glitter explosion on the way home!)


    I personally love when the toys match the party theme. Mini action figures for a superhero party or a plush animal for jungle-themed celebration are spot on.


  • Crafty Options: Mini puzzles and colouring books, crayons, stickers and stamps. Staying on theme, how about a pirate hat craft activity for home?


Keep It Kid-Friendly and Safe


While you might want to fill the bags to the brim, always prioritise safety. Consider the age of the children and avoid items that might pose choking hazards.


Be mindful of allergies as well. It is a good idea to communicate with other parents about dietary restrictions. You could include allergen-free treats, ensuring that every child feels included.


The Presentation Matters


How you present the goodie bags can greatly enhance the overall experience. You could even incorporate the goodie bags into your party decor. Consider displaying the bags beautifully on a decorated table for kids to grab upon arrival or when they leave.

Don’t Forget About Planning Ahead!


Creating the perfect goodie bags involves some planning, so avoid last-minute rushes. Start collecting supplies well in advance of the big day. From choosing bags to assembling the goodies, it's essential to manage your time wisely.


Consider setting aside a fun crafting session with your child to assemble the goodie bags. This collaborative activity not only builds anticipation but also helps your child feel involved in the celebrations.


With thoughtful planning and personal touches, your Sixpence Collection goodie bags will be the highlight of the party, making sure it is a day to remember!
