If you are lucky enough to have kid's then there's one thing you won't be able to avoid, and that's the children's parties.
There's guaranteed to be at least one every year and the more kid's you have, the more parties you have to organise.
We all want to keep costs down but at the same time we all want the kid's to have a great time.
No children's party is complete without a party bag full of goodies.
Read on for seven amazing party bag fillers that won't break the bank.
Spinning top These little contraptions can be the source of hours of entertainment and you can easily pick them up in many different designs and colours.
Suitable for both boys and girls, these make a perfect addition to a party bag.
Pencils You can pick up a pack of colourful pencils for a small amount of pocket change.
The best thing about these is that they usually come in packs of 10 or more.
If you have to cater for more than a handful of kids, then these can be perfect for pleasing them all without spending much at all.
Pencil sharpener You can't give them pencils without having a sharpener too.
Pencil sharpeners are often very cheap and they'll make a perfect combo when chucked in a party bag with the pencils.
Bookmark Every child should be encouraged to read.
After all, as you will know, there's nothing like getting lost in a great book.
So why not give them a gentle push in the right direction by including a bookmark in your party bag.
Foam glider These flimsy little flyers are cheap and fun.
If you want a great party bag filler that is going to provide hours of entertainment then these are a great bet.
They come in designs that suit both boys and girls too, whatever age they are.
Bouncy ball You may have to brace yourself for a little mayhem if you include these springy things.
However, they are great fun and children's parties were designed to have a little mayhem in the mix, were they not? You can also pick up a load of them for next to nothing.
Fake tattoos Chances are your son or daughter is a tad too young to be thinking of a real tattoo.
Still, there's no reason they can't pretend.
They come in designs for boys and girls too so why not get them a few fake tattoo transfers for fun.
