Party Bag Filler Ideas Please

Hi

I'm not a lover of most of the bits you can get for party bags, but don't have a huge bedget this year...

DS1 wants a Ben 10 party for his 7th birthday at the end of March (I know, I know... I'm thinking about it early) and I', geting a bit stuck on the Party bags..

I'm lucky that I have access to a good printer, and a laminator, plus my sister has stock left over from when she ran a balloon business so still has hellium that I can use plus green and black balloons.

I'm not doing party games - I'm taking a group of his friends to soft play and then coming back to eat lunch at ours, have cake, party bags and then home time...

For the party bags, I was thinking of the following, but was hoping for some more inspiration please? I'm trying to keep Ben 10 themed...

- A few Ben 10 colouring pages downloaded off the internet
- Some cheap pencils (Mr T Value?), with a home printed Ben 10 labelinstead of the shop's own
- Adsa raisen packs (as they're green)
- Fun sizes Mars Bar (as they're black)
- A home made bookmark from images of the net, and laminated
- A Ben 10 'party security' pass? Still thinking on this idea... again, laminated

So far, I/'ve paid for the bags, raisens and mars bars as the rest I already have in... can anyone think of anything more I could add for free or very cheap, along the Ben 10 theme or colour scheme?

Thank you!

    Have you a local poundland? I bought balloons, sticker packs, pens etc last year for the party bags and it saved me a fortune. If not there are some good party websites that do packs of ten items for around £3.00 or try ebay, there are always lots of goodies for party bags on there. Hope this helps :-)
