Party gift bag ideas?

Star123

I am having a party in just under 2 weeks and I really want to give each guest a gift bag but I am struggling to think of things to put in them, its for men and women between the ages of 14-70.
So far I have got a pack of love hearts each and some mini bags of haribo.
I don't mind making stuff and I don't really want to spend too much money on them.
Thanks

What is your motivation for giving gift bags? Isn't an invitation a gift in itself?

Its just a little something to say thank you as they do a lot/ are always there if you need them Normally I would agree that the invitation is enough but I just felt I would like to do something extra for them.

Ideally a few pounds each, I did think about making some cookies and putting them in cellophane bags?

How about a packet of seeds inside a mini metal pail - these ones are sweet:

I was going to say some miniature wines/whiskies etc but that wouldn't be suitable for the younger guests! Anything homemade would go down well I think as it shows a lot of thought and appreciation.

A scratch card or lottery ticket?

party popper (can buy a large pack cheap), piece of bday cake, some childhood sweets (can buy a large pack of mixed sweets and split up amongst bags), pound shop have lots of bits like multipacks of lipblams etc for girls/women, a little thank you note from you?
I think its a lovely idea.

Get some retro sweets, that the older generation would remember. Like sherbet fountains, pink shrimp etc, and put a little note in each bag. Or get the bag printed with a note on the front.
