Birthday Party

Loot Bags

Loot bags.  I used to love putting them together myself until I counted the number of trips I made to the Dollar Store and the time and effort it took me to package them.  My son recently came home from a party with a great loot bag and I knew I had to contact Creative Loots.  High quality licensed products, completely age appropriate, great theme, and sealed ever so neatly in a beautiful decorated cello bag.  Jenn is a mom of three and runs Creative Loots from her home.  Her website is very user-friendly -  loot bags are sorted by age, gender and theme, making it a breeze to complete an order.  Average cost is $5 per loot bag, 10% off online orders, complimentary delivery and for Mamapicks readers…an extra 8 pc. package of Wikki Stix in each loot bag! When it’s this inexpensive and this good, it just doesn’t make sense to make them yourself.

Pick Your Nose

I often ask myself…why didn’t I think of that?   These humorous cups are a great way to add some originality and spunk to a kid’s birthday party.  They are definitely on my list for our next birthday celebration.  Available at Danna Bananas, an online Ontario store that specializes in unusual gifts that are funny, entertaining and useful all at the same time.  You’ll have a great time browsing through their products.  Danna Bananas is offering mamapicks readers 10% off their order.  Use promo code: nosey.  Have fun!

Free: Birthday Mini Banners

Thank you to Heirloom Paperie for this awesome free template of mini birthday banners. The PDF includes banners for boys (blue) and girls (pink…shocking!) who are turning 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5! These can be strung together to make a banner or they can be placed in photo/name card holders and placed on your birthday buffet table. Just print and cut on the dotted lines. I love free.

Musical Birthday Candle – Coming Soon to Mamapicks

We were recently at a birthday party and when I saw this candle on the cake, I actually squealed.  When you light this little flower, fire shoots up from the centre,  it opens up and all the candles on the petals are magically lit! Round and round it goes while playing birthday music.  It’s a party on a cake!  This candle will be available from Mamapicks next week and  I am so excited!
