Party bags/favours - help! 🙏🏼

Planning for my son’s birthday party this weekend and I don’t want to do the standard party bag as it’s a big cost for stuff that the kids usually don’t really care about, and feels wasteful (no judgement if you like doing them - it’s just not for me!)
I’d like to get something though, and wondered if anyone had suggestions for something small that they could take away that they’d actually like?
Last year I gave little dairy free chocolate lollies which I could do again, or bags of sweets, but open to different/ non food suggestions 🙏🏼

(Impossible to find a pic of him not doing a dinosaur roar atm 😅) 🦖

Sorry for jumping in..I want some ideas too..doing on saturday for my girl☺️

I still do party bags but I put useful things in them like for example it was my daughters birthday last weekend and in the party bag was a reading fairytale book, a T-shirt from Primark, a notebook and pen and stickers(which all kids love!) and just some sweets. I got a lot of good compliments from the parents of the children on Monday saying that they were better than the normal stuff that everyone puts in that doesn’t get used! X

My daughter’s bday was last week and we did party bags (no plastic tat), some little crafty things like a wooden shape to colour in and hang up but the biggest hit was the bathbomb I put in. I bought about 30 off amazon and some little squares of material and wrapped them with a little ribbon. Went down really well!

We do books and bubbles. I’ve got some temp tattoos this year too because this age they seem ovsessed. We get the 10 for £10 books(apparently they’re 12 for £10 atm) from the works

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃
