    I am in the westmidlands in coventry and I think there is one at the alvis retail park

    Bit too far I am afraid. Coventry is about 1/2 an hour from me so any savings would be negated by the cost of petrol. Still worth knowing if I am in ever in the area :D

    Do you have a decent sized Tesco near you? We have an Extra and they have a whole wall full of party bag bits, I just got my DD who is turning 4 her party bag bits and was impressed.

    I'd second home bargins, and there looks to be quite a few in the west midlands

    In Tescos you can get stuff like toy cars for 50p, or small packs of crayons/pens/stickers etc.

    Is it for your Ds's birthday Bitsy? I would suggest thebookpeople, too. The booksets on there are good value. One year for my Ds's birthday, we managed to get the kids footballs from one of the big discount sports shops for £1.19 each. Good leather balls, too. They got that and a piece of cake. The kids all thought it was fab, and I was delighted not to be sending home plastic nonsese. Tesco are another place which are'nt too bad for stuff, and Lidl's have had some nice pencil sets lately, if you have one locally they might have some left, you never know.

    DS is 10 and would be mortified if anyone gave him a party bag, so thankfully its quite a short lived thing. DD is 7 and loves party bags, particularly if they contain, makeup, "jewellery", or key rings. She is quite keen on notepads and pens too. I can only ever remember one occasion when they came away from a party disappointed, and that was when they recevied a recycled bag with a packet of seeds in it. It didn't go down well, and I don't think the bags made it out of the car unfortunately.
