How to Create Swag Bags for Parties

The "Swag Bag" is the quintessential gift of Hollywood parties. For most celebrities, it is the reason that they attend events. This bag full of free goodies can range from inexpensive spa gifts to extravagant diamond-encrusted luxury watches. For your next party, treat your gifts to their very own swag bag! Check out the tips in this article for how to create these awesome party gifts.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Gift Bags
• Swag (free items of your choice, like candles, mini bath lotions)

1. Depending on your party theme, buy gift bags in a color and shape that match it. For example, for a Hollywood themed party, pick up some gold star-shaped bags. If you want more options than the typical drug store offers, head to an arts and crafts store.
2. Swag means free stuff. So, you'll need to buy in bulk for your swag bags. Shop online or in stores like Costco for discounts on goodies. Cheaper examples of quality swag are candles, small bottles of lotion and perfume, mini bottles of alcohol, bath/spa items like sea salts, small make-up kits and t-shirts with the party's theme on it.
3. If the party is for a charitable event, most stores or companies may give you items for free. This will cut down on your expenses. Also, check with friends who own stores or businesses and see if they would be willing to donate items.
4. Once you've gathered all of your swag, put the items in the gift bags and place them on a table.
5. When the party is over, allow guests to take one bag per person.
