In searching for these unique goodie bag ideas for birthday parties, I made some rules:

Must-haves for the perfect party goodie bag

When you are deciding what to put in goody bags, keep in mind the following:

No plastic junky toys that get trashed within a day or so. The best party bag ideas are not plastic junk.
Bonus points for something useful or even something kids "need".
Not too expensive, Little toys for party bags shouldn't cost the Earth. In this list, the highest priced item comes in at around $10 per idea while most are under $5.
Something that lasts longer than the ride home from the party. I looked for things that would last or that could be used for a whole season.

27 Unique Goodie Bag Ideas For Birthday Parties

Don't forget that one big item is just as good (if not better) than a bag full of 10 little toys. Pick a budget per child and decide what makes sense.

For $5 per kid, you can often get one great item instead of a few dollar store trinkets, especially when you buy bulk as is the case with most of the ideas below.

A Book of Fun Facts

Any book is a great goodie bag favor but a trivia or fun fact book makes a great "thanks for coming" gift for kids.

I love the Weird But True books from National Geographic Kids.

Cute Gloves

These gloves come in a variety of colours and designs in a 12 pack which is awesome to pop in loot bags.

This is one of my favourite goodie bag ideas for an ice skating party or winter birthday party.

Pair with an individual packet of hot chocolate from the Dollar Tree and you are done!

Sunglasses

These cool sunglasses come in a pack of 8 and are perfect for a beach or swimming party in the summer.

Everyone needs sunglasses and we all lose them so these are great!

A Cute Umbrella

Pop-up umbrellas are all the rage right now. I think a cute umbrella is one of the best party bag ideas for 5 year olds and below. It is useful and cute!

Garden Pot Craft Kit

If you are hosting a birthday party in the spring or summer, you can give out these cute "decorate your own flowerpot" kits and even pair them with a packet of seeds (or the seed paper below).

Crazy (or cool) Socks

Cute socks are a cheap thing to put in goody bags and they are always a hit.

They also fall into the no-junk category which I love.

You can get socks to fit almost every birthday theme like this super-hero 4 pack.

Water Wow Books

Melissa and Doug Water Wow books are great to put in party favor bags for toddlers.

They are mess-free books that are activated by water (a water pen is included). Once the paper dries, they are ready to use again. I love them for road trips! This set includes 3 different books.

Bubbles

Kids love bubbles and they always spill them or run out so this is one of those goodie bag ideas for birthday parties that never gets old. This pack contains 32 tubes in different colours.

Wood Craft Kit

One of the best goodie bag ideas my daughter ever received was a wooden house kit. It gave us something fun to do at home after the party and kept the excitement going for longer.

These Woodshop kits come in a pack of 6 different designs including a birth house, plane and boat.

Blooming Butterfly Seed Packs

Cute seed packs are a popular wedding favour but they make a great goodie bag inclusion for children's birthday parties too. These colourful butterfly seed packs come in a set of 25 or 100 and are really cost-effective!

Magic Bath Crackles

Bubble bath or these bath crackle packets are a fun goodie bag idea that kids will actually use.

Glitter Sidewalk chalk

Sidewalk chalk is another great consumable gift that kids always need. Up the ante with this glitter chalk to really impress those guests!

Puppy Dog

One of my favorite treat bag ideas especially for Paw Patrol party favours or an animal themed party.

Each child chooses a little dog to "adopt" at the end of the party. You can even create little adoption certificates and make collars and name tags out of pipe cleaners and gift tags.

Mini Versions of Classic Games

Classic games such as Jenga and Connect 4 come in smaller "travel" sized versions which are perfect goodie bag favours.

Stainless Steel To-Go Cup

Think beyond little toys for party bags. This 5 pack of stainless steel cups is so cup and would be adorable (and useful!) filled with candy or a hot chocolate packet.

Bird House to Decorate

Paired with a mini paint set these wooden bird houses make a great take home craft.

D.I.Y Slime Kit

Kids love making slime! This complete mini-set is a great giveaway for the 6+ age range.

Flower Hair Clips

These beautiful hair clips would be perfect for a luau, princess or any outdoor summer party.

Art Set

This travel art set is one of my favourite goodie bag ideas for birthday parties because it is useful and great quality.

Disposable Camera

Children love taking photos and these disposable cameras are a fun birthday party favour idea. Most Walmarts will develop the film.

Washi Tape

A couple of rolls of pretty tape can help make a great goodie bag. This pack contains 36 different rolls and gets great reviews.

Beach Towel

A cute towel for the bath or beach is a great party favour for kids of all ages.

Candy Skewer

If you don't want to give away toys and are looking for party candy bag ideas, the biggest hit I have done is a candy skewer. You can match the colors of the candy to the party's theme, I did a Frozen inspired candy kabobs and they were a big hit!

Another easy party favor idea is to put out lots of different kinds of candy in dishes along with small ziploc bags and let the kids make their own loot bags up from the candy buffet.
