What to Put in Birthday Favors for Kids
For children's birthday parties, it's proper etiquette to send a gift bag home as a thank-you gift for the guests for attending your child's party. These gift bags do not need to be full of elaborate gifts, but should include some thought. You can find small trinkets and treats at most toy, department and party stores.

Purchase birthday gift party favors that are related to the theme of the party. For example, when you purchase Transformer or Batman plates and balloons, look what items they have for sale. You can often find whistles, little action figures, stickers and other small trinkets with the characters on the items. Put these items in treat bags with the characters on them as well.
Treats
-
Fill birthday favor bags with treats for the children in lieu (or with) small toys and gifts. Purchase bags of mixed candy or throw in your children's favorite candies. If you want to take a healthier approach, purchase small bags of pretzels, animal crackers and fruit snacks to give children. Choose snacks that best fit the families that are attending your party and their beliefs.

Trinkets

At department stores you can find packages of small games and toys in bulk you can use for party favors. This includes flying disks, costumer jewelry, tic tac toe, jacks, etc.. Visit dollar stores or dollar areas in department and grocery stores to find small toys to put in a child's gift bag. When choosing the appropriate gift, consider the age group of the children so the toys are not too young.
School Supplies
-
Purchase small notebooks, pens, pencils and art supplies to put in party favor bags for children. These items can be purchased to fit the theme of the party and can be useful. Instead of throwing away small toys after a period of time, these items can be used instead of gathering dust in a toy bin.
