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 have sympathy with any voter, anyone, who having witnessed the last 14 years and then Labour in the last year and wonders just how can things be this bad  unless a) they voted for brexit b) voted Tory after 2010 c) is thinking of voting reform  because anyone who thinks reform won’t make things a thousand times worse after voting for the previous?  It is they who are the problem.  They are the reason the country is in the doldrums with an embarrassingly-timid Labour government  Specifically Chris mason - a not very bright right leaning stooge - large part of why bbc news has become grok-level slop  
    • In what way? Maybe it just felt more intelligent and considered coming directly after Question Time, which was a barely watchable bun fight.
    • Yes, all this. Totally Sephiroth. The electorate wants to see transformation overnight. That's not possible. But what is possible is leading with the right comms strategy, which isn't cutting through. As I've said before, messaging matters more now than policy, that's the only way to bring the electorate with you. And I worry that that's how Reform's going to get into power.  And the media LOVES Reform. 
    • “There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda ” I would call this “generous”   Labour should never have made that tax promise because, as with - duh - Brexit, it’s pretending the real world doesn’t exist now. I blame Labour in no small part for this delusion. But the electorate need to cop on as well.  They think they can have everything they want without responsibilities, costs or attachments. The media encourage this  Labour do need to raise taxes. The country needs it.  Now, exactly how it’s done remains to be seen. But if people are just going to go around going “la la laffer curve. Liars! String em up! Vote someone else” then they just aren’t serious people reckoning with the problem yes Labour are more than a year into their term, but after 14 years of what the Tories  did? Whoever takes over, has a major problem
