[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are there party favors that are actually nice and not cheap garbage? Planning my kid's birthday party (he's turning 5) and I don't want to fill a bag with plastic junk or candy. Last year we did stickers, mini notepads, some mini bubbles, but as a parent, I get tired of him coming home from parties with stuff that breaks in a day, not to mention the environmental impact.

I give ONE item and tell the kids it's a goody, not a goody bag. They're always fine with it. Parents are happy becuase it's one item that's not tiny junk toys. Kids like it because they get something. I like it because it's about the same cost as filling goody bags with pure junk. Examples of things I've given: hot wheels cars (the kids get to choose which one -- we buy a few extra so the last kid isn't left with whatever), small lanterns, kid-sized mugs for a winter party, a little toy thing from the Target dollar spot (this is always a good place to look), a mini jelly belly dispenser. (I get that some people would call some of this junk. I think it's better than the stuff you find in the goody bag section of Target.)

Please, parents. Stop the madness. No one needs more slap braclets, fidget keychains, bubbles, or wind up toys.[/quote]
