Eco Friendly Party Supplies

[Saffron]

Have noticed recently that we go home from toddler parties with plastic bags full of plastic junk -- all of it the non-recyclable kind! Surely there's a better alternative for party bags?

Has anyone used this company?

Or know any others?

That's a lovely site saffron!

I gave tended to avoid the worst of the plastic by buying in bulk on eBay coloured or white paper sacks and them putting in cupcake, mini choc bar, bubbles possibly with an interesting balloon, stickers or tattoo

At least then I know nothing gets wasted... Those things always get used up in my house right away

I try to avoid the mini plastic toys that get discarded almost right away and are a waste of money

Our parties tend to have a large number of children at of various ages, by the time we add in cousins, hodiarenrs children, family friends, cousins etc ....And siblings of all those ... Before we even start on actual friends

This makes for a potentially Expensive party so i do tend to limit party bags and contents to a pound or so

Someone I know from

The twins club, very creative person, is setting up a business doing craft activities for parties and I am

Hoping she might also do things that could be bought to put in party bags because I would shell out a bit for something nice children could do at home

On the subject of party bags ... I try to make mine tooth friendly ... I shudder a bit when

Mine get lollies they then insist on sucking on for ages. I Prefer a quick chocolate fix!
