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.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
