]]>The post The Best Loot Bag Ideas That Kids and Parents Love appeared first on Active Parents.
]]>Loot bag ideas were a hot topic on our Facebook page recently! With the help of creative parents, we’ve put together a list of great loot bags that parents will be happy to see their kiddo bring home, and kids will love to receive. We pulled together their best unique loot bag ideas to help you cross this task off your next party planner to-do list.
More Party Planning Essentials:
One unanimous thought on loot bags was that they are nice to have but not a necessity. Another theme in the discussion was that you didn’t need to spend much to make an impact with your goodie bags. Kids are kids, and they are impressed with chocolate, candy and a little dollar store toy, so don’t break the bank.
If you’re having a great themed party, hand out the loot as your guests arrive. Here are a few themes that work for this:
One of the best ways to cross 2 items off your to-do list is to MAKE the loot bag during the party. Here are a few ideas to do just that:
Everyone loves a take-home dessert or treat to remind them of the awesome party they just had, and our parent community had some great ideas to match almost any theme
I will never think of a gift card as anything but excellent. They’re easy to find and can be purchased in your preferred denomination. Plus, I love saving up our gift cards and using them for special treat days or outings to the mall. Kids will love that freedom of buying something special just for themselves. Parents in our group recommend giving gift cards to popular spots like Dairy Queen, McDonald’s, Tim Hortons/Starbucks, a movie theatre, or a local bookstore. If you have a great independent candy or toy store, a gift card to them is one of the best loot bag ideas we heard.
You can even buy a gift card from the birthday party venue that is hosting your party to give kids a future visit.
One theme agreed on by all of our readers and followers is this: loot bags are optional. Not necessary at all, and definitely not expected to be expensive or over the top. In fact, our parents mentioned many times how their kids don’t notice when there isn’t a loot bag to take home. So do what YOU feel works for you.
