Mostly consumable items that can be used up instead of sitting around gathering dust. Or cost effective and active items!
Bandages were a fun favor for one of the parties. I split up various sizes from the refill pack and put them in a pouch for each child. Fun bandages are a hit, and it’s not junk sitting around.
Stickers are always a hit too! We’ve done Squishmallow ones, but there’s a ton in any theme you might want.
