Earth Mother Party Bags is a new company which specialises in party and gift bags made entirely from eco-friendly products.

Filled party bags are priced from £2.50 each.
Parents, be the first to use a children’s wish list for your child's party this year. Visit www.gogoblin.co.uk today and see how easy it is to make a list of all the things your child would most like. You can then print out cards to enclose with the party invitations telling your guests where to find the wish list. Other parents will be delighted with the advice and even more pleased to be able to buy online without a stressful trip to the toyshop. And just so that everyone is happy, for every gift bought from one of gogoblin's shops a donation is made to a children's charity
Another wonderful idea from Ida Marsh (see www.tomida.co.uk in toys) Party Pottery will bring unpainted pottery, paints and brushes to your home or party venue and give the children a creative and fun party experience!
Izzy Whizzy is run by two Mums, they passionately believe in providing inspiration and originality to children’s parties and with this in mind designed a fantastic collection of hand made party bags, where all the emphasis is on style, quality and imagination. The selection of party bags caters for both boys and girls with a great range of toys and gifts. Each bag comes with a hand tied name tag to make them extra special.
Made entirely from sweets (that's right, not a crumb of cake in sight), the cake-free cakes made by Mum Charmayne Ferrier Brown are a great alternative to traditional celebration cakes. Great for kids of all ages at birthday parties, weddings, BBQs etc. Next time you are having a celebration, try something different with a cake-free cake from Oli’s Lollies. We’ve got to have one for Maddie’s birthday!
