Birthday party goody bags??

Question

so im planing to have a fondue party, and i want the goody bags to have something to do with the mall, if that means getting jewelry from like american eagle or something like a gift card, but idk what to do because theres 22 people going and i want the gift to be cute but not too over expensive, so under $5 for each gift if u have an idea thanks!

Answer 1

Hmm...

well like you said, get a necklace or bracelet at American Eagle then make something. Sounds cheezy, but it works. It would also be affordable to put in a guitar pick or two, because perhaps half out of those people play. Also, it's affordable and random. Make it random, hip, and fun!

Have fun and good luck! :)

Answer 2

You can do cookies from Mrs. Field's, or the cinnamon buns, etc.  These are things that can be dipped into the fondue too!

You can also go to somewhere like Claire's or one of the accessory stores and get something from there and put them in the bags.  

You can go to Yankee Candle and get a votive candle or two and get them in scents like chocolate, etc, and have it go with your theme.

You can go to the coffee shop in the mall and get a mug or some cocoa or tea, or even coffee.

You can also go and do like you said and go to American Eagle and get some Jewelry.  You can check out some earrings or other accessories.  

You could also tailor each bag towards the person that's getting it.  Instead of doing each one the same, if you know that some are into the jewelry, do half with jewelry, if you know some are into candles, do some with candles, and if some are into coffees and teas, do some with that, this way you're not standing in one store and stressing out trying to make everyone happy with just a few pieces of jewelry.  You can stay within your budget, but decide on 3 stores and make sure you stay with that, otherwise you will end up stressing out running all over the mall in and out of stores!

You can also check out book stores for those little mini books and you can check out somewhere like Spencers for some fun little toys and things.  

What you can do is pick 3-4 stores and limit yourself to those stores so you're not all over the mall and decide that those are the stores you're going to use to fill the bags with and then either get one thing only like jewelry, or get a few things and then do different bags like a coffee/tea bag or a  candle bag, etc.

Whatever you do, I'm sure your friends are going to love, it's the thought that counts and they're just going to be appreciative that you went to the trouble of doing this for them!
