All About Party Packs, Decorations and Stuff

[schellen]

I just buy the bags and party stuff from toy shops and hypermarts like Giant. TRU carries quite a variety too.

Just like to ask, what the average cost one would pay for a goody bag for the children to bring home?

For me, I shouldn't have to pay more than $2-3 per bag unless I only give to a very select AND small group of children. Then, in that case, I may even spend up to $5 per bag. Usually, I give goodie bags out to a lot of children, like all of them at the childcare centre, so I try to buy in bulk to save on costs, and I avoid bags and party ware with popular characters on them since they cost much more.

Haha, schellen, same here. I do not only avoid buying SPECIAL party bags all these years, as i believe not everyone will keep thes bags as collection items,this year it was even worse for ds1, i just bought a bulk bag of crackers, in 30 pack a bag, just nice for him to give to his fellow classmates each pack, and a pack of mentos sweets, give 2 pcs to each of them. Ds just distribute to his fellow friends. I do so because for the past few months, his classmates did that to. Just give away goodies, without goodie bag. :idea:

Yup, I noticed that sometimes, DD will bring back goodie bags that are just plain, transparent plastic bags; you know, the kind neighbourhood bakeries use to bag the buns you buy? Then, they just use a twist tie or scotch tape or just tie the bag with a knot.

My kids love the ink stamper & body tattoos!

Does any body know a site where I can order temporary tattoos for my kids birthday party?

Original Title: Where to buy party stuff?


Is Concourse still the place to purchase party stuff (decorations, wrapping paper, balloons...etc)? :?:

[Happy Mama]

Hi cotton candy, you can buy from the previous Tekka Mall, not sure if they are now called Verge. Alternatively, you can also buy from Middle Road. There are a few shops along the road. Some of the shops at Concourse have shifted to these two places.

If you stay in the west, IMM also has one speciality shop selling party stuff, just next to the Kopitiam at 2nd level.
