[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I once made cute gift bags with a tote, sunglasses, 5 and below type cute summer toys (no bubbles), etc. because I had a real mixed age of family cousins. Anyways, the bags were much maligned with kids asking where the candy was. I never invited those cousins back to a birthday party and now I always do candy for the most part.[/quote]

Oh no! That sounds like a great bag! I try to give non-candy Valentine's class gifts and birthday favors - sunglasses (my kids are constantly losing theirs), superhero capes and masks, cookie cutters, chalk, etc.

Two gifts my kids have received that I thought were clever were a watercolor set, bath bombs, and seed bombs (just don't mix up the last two!)[/quote]

My 7 year old would not want sunglasses, superhero stuff, cookie cutters, chalk, but would love art supplies and bath bombs. The thing about pop its, fidget spinners, and candy is that it’s universally pleasing. Junk, but kids like junk. So either lean into the junk or just get whatever your kid would like. If other kids don’t like it, then they don’t have to give it out at their party. Can’t please everyone (unless you give them ring pops!).[/quote]
