goodie bag recs
i need some ideas. i hate to just do crap. last year i did piggy banks with the kids name on it and bubbles (who doesn't love bubbles)
to give you a party background. its a fun bus party. with a tinkerbell them or a pokemon theme (i know night and day lol but thats her top two choices lol)
ok now GO
Re: goodie bag recs
i am always a fan of these balls, all the people we have 'favored" them to, love them. You can get 20% off and free shipping and when you divide it by the # of balls you get in each pack its not too bad

yes
about 15 kids
we are doing a Fun Bus party this year too!
How about a gift card to Barnes and Noble or your local ice cream places?
Last few parties we were at we received Melissa and Doug huge coloring pads (very cute!), drinking cup with name on it and an ice cream dish and spoon with name on it
We have given out T Shirts (with the party theme) and personalized crayon rolls with coloring books and of course crayons ...
Not sure what we are doing this year ....
hmmmmm all these are good suggestions. the problem with the ice cream is that people are coming from md/va/dc and we don't have one constant ice cream place near everyone. or i'd do 16handles in a heart beat.
i like the cup idea and the ice cream cup/spoon and the coloring books. ok ladies keep em coming
I don't know the age of your dd but what about recycled crayons. I did these for my dd's bday and they were a hit. Also they are not gender specific so makes it even easier.

we did super hero capes this year. HUGE hit.
maybe you can do wings for the girls & capes for the boys if she sticks w/the tinkerbell theme?
i think tink is going to win out but its hard to say. and i think my dollar store has wings where did you get the capes from? i LOVE that
omg these are so cute! I wish I had seen this before I did the goody bags, I totally would have bought these with coloring books and called it a day. Oh well, next party!
we are doing personalized (i am personalizing them) crayon boxes (those larger pencil box type cases)...staples had multi color ones for 1.49 a box....bounce U is providing a goody bag that is part of our package, so they will get a bag of crap too
Along the recycled crayons theme, I did crayons for cancer one year, with coloring books - www.crayonsforcancer.org
They come in a ton of different shapes - really cute!! and the proceeds go to children with cancer.
Last year, I got books from target - like 2.00 each, tied a baloon on them and bubbles and called it a day. I wrote the kids names on the balloons.
One year I did sippy cups (when Brandon was at sippy cup age) and wrote the kids names on the cups in cute bubbly letters (same year that I did the crayons with cancer)
Last year for brandon we did a crayon box from the dollar spot - and filled them with dollar spot character markers (if they still have them, it might work for you because tink is on the markers!!) They also have toy story.
This year I got lazy and did one bouncy ball, glow stick glasses, a few pieces of candy, and a bendy/crazy straw.
That's a cute idea. M got a bandana and eye patch as part of a pirate themed party and he loves dressing up like "Jake"
NOOOOOOO! not you, V!
pencil cases. there's my input.
I usually just do cookie favors.
Molly had a tinkerbelle party this summer and I gave out these:
http://www.etsy.com/transaction/54493626 (she will make them any color you want) She was great to work with.
and because I'm crazy, I also got these for the boys:

There was a whole bunch of other things, too, but I didn't pay for entertainment so I bought fairy wings and wands for the girls and pirate stuff for the boys.
