Tie a goody bag with a balloon.
Hand out party goody bags at your child's birthday party, a baby shower, wedding shower or bachelorette party. Choose a goody bag that compliments the theme of your party and fill it with snacks, favors or small toys, depending on the type of party. Party guests will love the extra fun these bags add, as well as the goodies inside. Does this Spark an idea?
Cosmetic Bags
Cosmetic bags work as a great goody bag for any female-exclusive party, whether it's a girl's sleepover birthday party or baby shower. Fill the bag with makeup samples such as eye shadow, lipstick or perfumes. You can also put lotion or wrinkle cream samples into the bag if your guest are older. For younger girls, fill the bag with candy, plastic jewelry, lip gloss and glitter. If you're throwing a bachelorette party, put flavored oils and lotions into each bag along with erotic candy.
Bandannas
If you're throwing a more laid back party such as a Fourth of July party or a backyard birthday party, use bandannas as your goody bag. Simply place all the goodies in the center of the bandanna, then tie the corners together. For kids these goody bags could contain stickers, crayons, a jump rope and a package of fruit snacks or a lollipop. If you're entertaining adults, tie up individually wrapped chocolates, a mini alcohol bottle, Mardi Gras beads and scented candles or soaps.
Flower Pots
Use a flower pot as a goody bag for any garden or outdoor party. Purchase a terracotta pot for each guest, then fill it with Hawaiian leis, silk flowers, samples of flower-scented perfumes, organic snacks and packs of seeds for different types of flowers or vegetables. Add flower stickers or rubber stamps for a kid's goody bag. To make the flower pots look more regal, wrap them in colored cellophane or sheer fabric and tie at the top with ribbon. Both adults and kids will love these flower pot goody bags.
Oversized Coffee Cups
Pick up a bunch of oversized coffee cups at a dollar store to use as goody bags for any party that takes place during the autumn or winter. For adults, fill with small packages of different flavored coffees, teas and hot chocolate to keep them warm during the cold months. Add packets of sugar or creamer, a fun plastic stirrer, chocolates, potpourri and some small favor that goes with the theme of your celebration such as a noisemaker for a New Year's Eve party or a small ornament for Christmas. You can also use these for children's parties; just replace the coffee with a small toy.
