orientaltrading.com has cool stuff. But they sell in bulk. Like by the dozen. I am ordering stuff from them for DS 1st birthday party next year.

Re: Goodie bag ideas/favor ideas
I ended up making 25 personlized Sippy Cups myself  2 nights before the party because I couldn't find anything I liked and we didn't have the goods to make the CD labels if I did CD's. I did sports, stars and moons and suns, polka dots, flowers and butterflies, etc. I got Nuby cups at Walgreens for $1 and paint pens and got to drawing. It really only took about 3 hours total. Then I put them in the luau bags I had with mini bubbles and an organic snack from costco (cookies or cheddar ducks). Everyone really liked them. They got their candy from the pinata too so I skipped that. I have a few leftover from no shows. I'll try to get a picture for you tomorrow.
ETA: I did this for up to 5 years old since I figured 5 year old might use them like a sports bottle at tball or soccer. Who knows. I had 2 older kids and I did candy and a yo yo or silly putty.

Re: Goodie bag ideas/favor ideas
For the babies I gave a sippy cup and a book..and M&Ms that mom or dad could eat...for the kids 3 and over I gave a box of crayons, I found little Halloween activity books, a tube of M&Ms and I also found in Walmart in the halloween section a bag of Tattoos (the tattoos were in little boxes in the bag). For the school age kids I did colored pencils, regular pencils, little erasers and a pen shaped like a bug (I found those in Party City). I had about 24 kids at Hayley's party...from 4 months up to my cousin who is 15

Re: Goodie bag ideas/favor ideas
I just went to a kiddie party this weekend and my girlfriend went to the Dollar Store and bought pumpkins (the kind to trick or treat with) and filled them with candy. She also had other candy bags. Thought this was a good idea.

I checked it out- and bought my favors
Personalized pencils holders for the 4 girls 5 and up
personalized wipes holder for the 3- 1 and under
personalized water bottle for the 3 year old...
(everything has hearts/flowers or trucks/roadsigns hand painted on them as well)
I spent about $15 more than I wouldve just doing traditional goodie bags....but I think it was worth it....
Everything will be ready on Friday at noon...So I will post a few pics after I get them....
Thanks Twinmama!
