@budgetingmumofficial: 🚨Let’s stop doing party bags!🚨 My daughter is having a party for her birthday soon and when I was pricing up doing party bags for all the kids, I was shocked by how expensive they were turning out to be! And it got me thinking? Whenever we leave a party, these things get looked at for 5 minutes and then end up in the bin! So when my friend suggested doing this instead I thought she was a total genius and had to tell you all about it! The Works 10 for £10 book offer is insane value for money and the quality of the books for £1 each is far better than anywhere else I’ve seen. What do you think? Is this better than a party bag? Let me know in the comments ⬇️ Make sure you’re following @budgetingmumofficial for more ways to save money as a family ❤️ #momonabudget #moneysavingtips #savemoneytips #kidsbirthdaypartyideas #moneysavingmom
When I was a kid for my party’s the party bags just had a bit of cake, some sweets and a couple of toys like bubbles or glow sticks etc 😭

Pack of haribos, slice of cake wrapped in kitchen roll, and a bouncy ball. That’ll do

when I was a kid a party bag consisted of a piece of cake, some sweets and some bubbles or something. They don't need to be expensive

The Baker Ross website is really good for cheap party bag ideas. It doesn't have to be cheap plastic toys OR books. BR do mini activity packs for kids to make things which are really fun

Oddly enough that book is more likely going to end up in the bin unfortunately. Also party bags shouldn’t be expensive, parents need to stop trying to show off

if you've got 20-30kids coming (a class full) it's much cheaper to do party bags!

No more books! The amount of books my son's been gifted in only 2 years of life is WILD 😅. I LOVE party bags but they are literally the same as when I got them as a kid they haven't upgraded? 😅

I do this but go to charity shops instead as they often do 4 for £1 etc and always choose books in good condition! All the parents said it was so much nicer than all the tat!!!

Books are better, only cause people want bubble and crappy plastic in a bag. Books are more useable. Any one who disagrees with me has no life:) Thank yew 🙃

Or save money completely by not buying plastic rubbish! I don’t bother giving party bags the kids have just had a party and loads of fun so why do they need crap to take home??? 🤷🏻♀️
