Amen sister. A bag full of choking hazards. Just what I don't need for my 2 year old.

I'm glad you didn't go the goody bag route. Its not just an American phenomenon as it happens here too. So not only are they zinged up on the lollies they eat at the party, they bring the stuff home and zing up there as well!

Great pictures... and I agree, goody bags are silly and usually filled with toys so cheap they break w/in moments of arrival at home. Good for you for putting the kebosh on that part of the party... sounds like some polite gentlemen were invited!!

Totally agree with you. I think we need to have faith in little people that they can handle situations where they don't receive something.

What a cool idea.

The goody bags add up. I've done them because I feel obligated. But I like that you didn't stand for that crap. Good for you!

No only is it the candy, but the dumb, cheap toys that end up all over the house. How many pairs od rotten teeth do you need?

Thank you for not sending them home with a goody bag, they were wild enough.

I am so with you. Goody bags are so pricey usually and what mom wants their kid coming home with a lot of candy and a whistle? Good lord!

This phenomenon is spreading. As a volunteer, it used to be that you did it for the satisfaction. Now organizations feel obliged to give out goody bags and appreciation lunches...I'm always thinking "Just use the money for your mission instead of thanking me." But I have heard other volunteers saying "Well, they don't treat their volunteers very nicely," so I guess it is important in keeping some people around.
