Every child knows that when they go to their friend's birthday parties, certain ritualistic events will occur.
1. They will play games.
2. They will eat snacks.
3. They will eat birthday cake.
4. They will see their presents get opened.
But, most of all, they know that when they leave the birthday party, they will receive a goody bag. They goody bag is usually considered the best part of a birthday party because it is something that the children get to take home. Almost like their reward for attending the birthday party.
Now you don't want to just throw a couple of pieces of candy in a bag and hand them out as the children are leaving. The birthday child is usually judged by how cool their goody bags are. If the goody bags are exceptional, kids will look forward to the next birthday party.
These goody bags do not have to cost you a fortune and can still keep your child as popular as ever. The items in the following list for goody bags can be found in most dollar stores. You can also try to stock up on items for your goody bags by purchasing things when they are off season. For instance, bubbles might cost you one dollar for two bottles in May, but if you buy them during the winter months or during summer clearance, you might pay one dollar for four bottles. That is a great way to stock up! Don't worry if you can't find all of the items listed. Just use your imagination and shop smart!
