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.

    • I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
