Better Loot Bags

Loot bags are part of the child birthday experience.

However, no one needs any more dollar store trinkets around their house. And sometimes it's nice to have a candy-free option. Think outside the traditional loot bag for some great take-home goodies:

A gift certificate for a kiddie cone at a local ice cream shop 

Homemade play dough in a reusable container

Cookies wrapped in cellophane bags and wrapped with a ribbon

Markers and a notepad

Comic books

Bag tag

Stickers

Drinking cup

Lanyards

Bubbles

Ball

Stadium cup

Story book
