Alexandra F. said:  These balls were a big hit when we gave them out for my son’s birthday, and they’ve been getting a ton of use at our house. The quality is excellent and the price totally reasonable. We got a set of these smaller 8.5 inch ones, which were softer and super bouncy, as well as the sturdier 10 inch ones, which are perfect for rougher play, like kickball. Both would work well for most yard games (though if you’re thinking of mostly kicking it, it’d be worth getting the sturdier one)!

Alexandra F. said:  Large, individually wrapped cookies make the best party favors for kids! These have been a hit with kids and parents any time we hand them out, and it's a great way to support a local small business, too. Customize them to match your birthday party theme, or with the names of your guests, to make them extra special!

Give a favorite children's book that goes along with the theme for the party. Depending on the kids' ages, Curious George or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory would be fun!
