Party favors/goody bag

I am planning DD 4th birthday party. It is at a chucky cheese type place. For favors I am thinking of giving each kid a book. I can find paper backs on Amazon for 4. What do you think? There will only be about six kids there.

I think that's a great idea! Much better than candy or 99cent junk.

Sounds great to me! Amazon's 3 for 4 program works out really nicely, too- the Curious George paperbacks are all ~$4 and are usually on the 3-for-4 special.

ita I've given them every year as favors.  If you start early enough you can find brand new ones at goodwill 3 for .99

Do you have a Costco near you? By hey sell box sets of 10 or 12 books for about 10 dollars. You could buy a set of say curious George or hello kitty books and give one or two to each child. That would make each book about one dollar and they are nice hardcover books.

Sounds nice to me. I did CD's for my daughter's third birthday because we had a musician come and do a sing a long. I also had 2 small pieces of candy and a small toy.

I love this idea!!!  I just spent time this morning cleaning up a ton of the little junky things that you get from birthdays from my 4 1/2 year olds room - Most of it is played with once and then forgotten while books get read many, many times over in my house.

Great idea! A book and a balloon and my girls would be thrilled! Walmart has a large selection for under $3 -

I would much rather my kid get a book from a party than a bunch of stuff we would end up throwing away.  Great idea.
