[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not do goodie bags, but the birthday child wants them...so I do things like pencils and mini notebooks or post it notes, stickers, fruit snacks or a lollipop, one year we did a sports party so I gave tee balls.  The dollar tree often has small crayola colored pencils and different crayons- neon, pastels so I have given those.  I have also done socks with the party character.  If we do an activity that they take home, I don't do a goodie bag.  I try not to give into the plastic/one time use favors.  [/quote]

Some good ideas here although I feel refinement is in order:

- yes to pencils and “notebooks,” but please refers to them as “journals;” in fact you could set up a mini-station to explain the benefits of journaling and maybe have a brief demonstration of journaling techniques;

- no to any lollipops, “fruit snacks,” or other high-fructose / sugary snack foods.

- instead, try organic apples, Clementines, or kale-chips; also

- include mini-tubes of toothpaste (Tom’s organic is the best) and toothbrushes/ floss (but only on rolls; no flossers!) and maybe a fun guide on proper brushing.[/quote]

I bet you’re a ton of fun at parties! [/quote]
