[quote=Anonymous]Yes, I hate all the junky plastic toys that come in goody bags especially from places like Pump it Up, and the one time I made favor bags I filled them with things like mini notebooks, pencils and other non-plastic items.

I will also take this thread as an opportunity to vent about the huge balloon arches, balloon displays/installations (they are so large that's the word I think of) and oversized balloon names/numbers that are now trendy for kids' (and adults') birthdays. So wasteful and irresponsible (all those balloons go straight in the trash and sit around in landfills forever, all for a few hours and some posey pictures - or worse, released into the air in a fun and whimsical balloon release  :roll: ending up in the middle of nowhere, littering and choking animals). It's emblematic of the influencer/consumerism/self-centered exhibitionist culture that has had nothing but negative effects on society. /rant
