I am helping a friend organise a birthday party for her 7 year old, excuse me for being a bit out of touch, but do kids at that age still expect a party bag? And if so, what kind of things do you put in them these days? When I was a kid it was really just to take home the cake, but these days I expect you probably get a Nintendo DS game or something :) Any help appreciated!

Sweets, and something little. A book is a nice idea, or those little foil packs with Lego mini figures, Moshi Monsters etc seem to be a popular choice at the parties my son has been to recently.


I have made hair clips for a number of party bags for girls, which I think is a nice idea as they're something they can keep.


That said, no matter how many of those stretchy yellow people we end up with, the kids are always excited!

At 7, if they've had a good time at the party then maybe don't worry about a party bag! They're sure to go home talking about the party rather than afterwards. Then again, I finished with party bags at about age 10/11 for my kids.


A bit of cake and a pencil or something is ok?


I think us adults always worry about everything and our kids are ok about it.


Sorry to go off topic but 'show me the child at 7 and I will show you the man'


Have a good time.

I had the same problem in the summer (my son was turning 8) Think we got everything from Ebay if you search party bags.


Party bag contained:

Make your own glider plane ( also available in packs of 5 at the pound shop)

Whoopie cushion

Space Popper

mini skate board ( tex deck style) also available in packs of 5 at pound land

Glow stick

and sweets


All boys and girls very happy...I did add a lip seal in the girls bags.


Pound Land is the way forward!


Hope they have a fab birthday.

    • Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain. 
    • Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
    • You know that the top 1% of earners pay 30% of all total tax in the UK right? If they leave who picks up the tax slack? This is an inconvenient truth ignored by many. This is why Labour did a u-turn on non-doms because they started leaving and left the Treasury with a growing tax hole to fill.
