1st Birthday Goody Bags

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

I apologize if there have been a million posts about this, but with TB's stellar search feature I can't find anything...

Anyway, I am looking for some good ideas for DD's 1st bday goody bags.  With it being the end of summer, I have gotten a lot of beach pails, bubbles, shovels, etc.  I want something cute and different.  I was leaning towards reusable snack bags with the kids' names embroidered.  1) they are $4 each and I have 30 kids.  I would like to spend less and 2) is that not really "fun" for the kids and more geared toward the parents? 

Any ideas are welcome!  TIA!

    It depends on the age of your kids coming, but I'm doing a coloring book from the dollar store and a box of crayola crayons (because its school time I got them for less than 20cents a box) and I'll tie it all up with a pretty ribbon.

    I thought it was different other than candy and it's something they can actually use.

    I'm doing gift cards for frozen yogurt!  The value equal to a mini size and one topping.  It's $2.50 each.

    A friend of mine makes amazing decorated sugar cookies.  I am giving those out as favors.  I hate favors!  I hate giving them and I hate when Olivia comes home with a bag of crap from parties.  The cookies are delicious and will go with our theme.

    But I have to ask...how the heck do you have 30 kids on the list?

    Why not fill a sand bucket with some bubbles, sidewalk chalk, and a shovel for each kid?  You can probably find all of that stuff at the dollar store or on clearance at Target.  You could even paint the kid's name on them if you wanted to.  Or tie cute ribbon around it.

    For a first birthday????  Really unnecessary and who really wants an embroidered snack bag?  Save your money.

    I know, it is totally OOC.  But, I have a big family and a lot of DH's and my friends all had babies around the same time.  So, 29 kids it is (some are big siblings of our really close friends, so I don't know if they will be coming yet)
