The best party bags normally have fewer, better-chosen things in them. A small toy with a clear purpose is more memorable than several pieces of filler that are forgotten before the child gets home.
The Pocket Money Toys range is a natural place to look because it includes small novelty toys, stationery, tactile toys and characterful little gifts. The key is to choose items that make sense for the age group and the size of the party.
Good party bag toys are simple
Think about toys that can be understood immediately: a bouncy ball, a novelty pencil or sharpener, a small fidget toy, a pop-up character or something tactile. These work because the child does not need instructions or a large play space to enjoy them.
Set a budget before you choose
For ten or twenty party bags, a difference of £1 per item adds up quickly. Work out your spend per child first, then browse the Pocket Money Toys range or use our pocket money toys under £5 guide to narrow the options.
If the party has a theme, use that to guide the choice. Dinosaur parties can link naturally to Dinosaur Toys, animal themes to Wildlife Toys, and simple indoor games can be found in Board Games.
