How to Make a Birthday Goodie Bag for Adults

A great alternative to a traditional birthday gift is a number of smaller goodies wrapped inside a bag. While the possibilities are vast, a few ideas can help to inspire your gift selections when creating a goodie bag for an adult birthday gift.

Instructions

1. Take your parents on a walk down memory lane when creating a birthday goodie bag for Mom and Dad. Search through your old storage bins, and find a few pieces of artwork you and your brothers and sisters made as children. Have them nicely framed, and add them to the bag. Other goodies might include a finished family photo album or scrap book or family videos placed on a DVD.

2. Pamper a female friend on her birthday with a goodie bag full of beauty supplies. You can include bath salts, creams and lotions, soaps, manicure supplies, facial masks and body scrubs. The sky is the limit with a beauty care goodie bag, a gift that will continue giving for months to come.

3. Please the beer lover in your life with a good bag full of gourmet beers. Visit your local specialty store, and gather at least six bottles of interesting beer varieties. Consider hard-to-find flavors and styles, such as coffee beer, chocolate beer, limited-release seasonal beers or beers from around the world.

4. Give a birthday goodie bag to your lover, and spice things up in the bedroom. Fill your bag with toys, such as edible underwear, flavored condoms, feather ticklers and other fun items. Don't forget a few sexy additions, such as scented candles and a bottle of champagne.

5. Fill a goodie bag for a sports lover, choosing items from his favorite team. Purchase a t-shirt or cap from their favorite team, rare trading cards, mugs with the team logo or, if you are willing to splurge, tickets to the next big game.
