Children's Party Bags With PoundToy - Review & Giveaway

AD - I was gifted a £50 voucher to use on the website for the purpose of this review.

PoundToy is an online shop that supplies an impressive range of toys, games, puzzles, crafts, and more, all at brilliant prices - many being £1 and under. I've worked with PoundToy previously, however, even before that they were my go-to for pocket money treats, birthday party gifts, stocking fillers, and so on.

I recently got back in touch with PoundToy to ask if they'd like to collaborate again, this time with a party bag angle. With Noah's 6th birthday party coming up I thought it would work well and I was excited to see how far £50 credit would stretch when it came to filling party bags for 12 children.

The first thing I added to my basket was the party bags! Yes, PoundToy even sells party bags. In this particular pack, there are 12 party bags, costing a reasonable £3.00. They come in an array of different colours so you don't need to worry about children wanting certain colors on the day. I always opt for the paper party bags over the plastic-type, for aesthetic and environmental reasons.

I then headed to the craft supplies section on the website because I think that colouring books and crayons are essential for children's party bags. I chose x6 Paw Patrol colouring puzzles with crayons and x7 Despicable Me carry along colouring sets, all for 99p each. I did want to buy x12 Despicable Me carry along set colouring sets, however, you are only able to order a set amount of items when it comes to certain products. I'll pop these randomly inside each bag as his friends are fans of both Paw Patrol and Minions.

Next, I chose x12 Slime Play make your own slime - 60p each and x4 multipacks of dough - £1.50 each. These are the items that I hope the parents don't begrudge me for, but most kids love slime and dough! The packs of make your own slime can be relatively mess-free when used in a sink, or in a plastic container in the garden.

13 Dino Gliders were then thrown into the mix, adding £5.20 (40p each) to the total. Gliders take me straight back to my childhood and the hours of fun that I had with them. It's fantastic that they are still around, all these years later, and that my children get to enjoy them too.

I finished the party bag with x10 sticky men (I couldn't add anymore than 10 of this product) which cost just 1p each and x13 little bags of Haribo - £2.60 for the lot. I'm aware that the sticky men are bits of plastic, which will eventually end up in landfills, however, if you look at the rest of my products I've avoided many single-use plastic items. 

I had a little bit of money left over so I spent the rest on a couple of small gifts for the birthday boy. Noah is a huge wrestling fan so I chose The Ultimate Warrior WWE Retro Figure - £8.00 and x4 WWE Pint Sized Heroes Blind Bags - £2.00 each. He's going to be so excited when he opens them on his birthday.

I was delighted by the number of products that were available and suitable for Noah's party bags. None of it was tat, all products that I know the kids will like and use. It was also great how I had money left over to buy Noah a few extra birthday presents.
