Party bags - or goody bags, if that's what you grew up calling them - are how every great party ends: a little bag of treats for guests to take home. We've packed parties off happily for more than 3 million orders.
Start with the bag itself: paper party bags with or without handles, clear cellophane party bags for sweets and treats, plain colour party bags to match your theme, reusable kids tote bags, or ready-made pre-filled party bags if you'd rather skip the assembly. For little ones, our kids party bags come in lots of favourite characters.
Then fill them: our party bag fillers are packed with toys, games and novelties, and our party bag sweets cover everything from retro favourites to pick and mix. Wrapping a present too? Take a look at our gift bags and wrapping paper.
Order by 4pm for next day delivery, and enjoy free UK mainland delivery when you spend £40 or more.
Filling party bags? Our party bag guide helps you fill them by age and budget without the landfill fillers.
Show moreParty bags are simple once you know a few tricks we've picked up over more than 3 million orders. Here's how to get them right first time.
How many to make. Count your guests, then add two or three spares - there's always a last-minute sibling, or a bag that splits on the way out. Order the fillers to match, not the exact headcount.
What to spend. Most parents keep each bag to around £2 to £4. You don't need much: two or three small toys, one treat and a little keepsake beats a bag stuffed with things that are lost by teatime. Our party bag fillers come in mixed packs so you can spread them across a whole party without overspending.
Match the age. For under-3s, skip small parts and go for chunky toys, crayons and stickers. Older children love puzzles, novelties and stationery they'll actually use.
Mind the allergies. If you're not sure what everyone can eat, non-food fillers or a single wrapped, clearly-labelled sweet are the safest choice - no awkward phone calls the night before.
Get it sorted early and the party runs itself - order by 4pm for next day delivery.
A: It is the little bag of treats each guest takes home at the end of a party. We sell the empty bags plus the fillers and toys that go inside, so you can build your own or buy the parts separately.
A: Most are sold empty so you can choose what goes in. The bags (paper, cellophane and plastic tote styles) and the fillers, toys, stickers and erasers are usually bought separately and mixed to suit your party.
A: Buy one per guest and add a few spares for siblings and last-minute arrivals. Many of the bags come in packs, such as paper party bags in packs of 12, so order enough packs to cover your headcount.
A: You will find paper party bags, clear cellophane bags, plastic tote bags, and themed options like superhero and Union Jack paper bags.
A: It depends on the style. Paper party bags are made of paper, cellophane bags are a clear film, and many tote bags are lightweight plastic. Paper and kraft styles are the sturdier choice for heavier fillers.
A: Most come in packs. For example, paper party bags come in packs of 12 and some treat bags in packs of 8. Buying by the pack keeps the price per bag down for a full guest list.
A: Sizes vary by style. The plastic tote bags are around 33 x 28cm, which fits a couple of small toys, a sticker sheet and a few sweets. Check the size on each product page before you order.
A: Our fillers cover pocket money toys, erasers, stickers, small soft toys and novelties. You can pick a ready mix of fillers or choose items one at a time to match the age and theme.
A: They are the thank-you gift guests take home, most often at kids birthday parties. They also work for Easter egg hunts, school events, christenings and seasonal parties.
A: A good bag mixes one or two pocket money toys, a sticker sheet or eraser, a small novelty and a sweet or two. Adding a plush or a bubble tube makes it feel like a proper little gift.
A: Yes. We have superhero party bags with matching fillers, Union Jack bags for jubilees and street parties, and Easter bags for spring. You can also fill plain paper or cellophane bags to suit any colour scheme.
A: There are. You can fill a bag entirely with toys, erasers, stickers and small plush, which suits guests who avoid sugar or have allergies.
A: Reach for the plastic tote bags or paper bags with handles for bulkier or heavier fillers. Save the thin cellophane bags for lighter treats and sweets.
A: Many of our cellophane and treat bags come with twist ties to gather and seal the top. A length of curling ribbon over the tie finishes it off and stops small parts falling out.
A: Stand paper bags upright while you pack them and seal the top with a twist tie, sticker or ribbon. Keep small loose items like erasers grouped so they do not slip through the handles.
A: Yes. Pack them a day or two before and store them upright somewhere cool. Leave any chocolate or sweets until close to the day so they stay in good condition.
A: Many small toys and novelties contain small parts and are not suitable for children under three because of the choking risk. Check the age guidance on each product and hand younger children a supervised, age-appropriate bag.
A: Always check the ingredients on any sweets before adding them, as some contain nuts, gluten or animal products. If you are unsure about a guest, a toy-only bag is a safe choice.
A: Paper and kraft party bags can generally be recycled with your household paper once they are empty. Cellophane and plastic tote bags are best reused where you can, then checked against your local recycling rules.
A: Choosing paper bags over film and filling them with longer-lasting items like erasers, stickers and small toys means less goes straight in the bin.
A: Pair empty bags with fillers, pocket money toys, stickers, erasers and small soft toys from this range. Twist ties or curling ribbon help you seal and decorate the tops.
A: Sweets make an easy treat to drop in, and our balloons, tableware and party accessories round out the celebration. Invitations and thank-you cards tie the whole event together.
