STOP GIVING BIRTHDAY PARTY TO-GO GIFT BAGS FULL OF PLASTIC CRAP

NOBODY WANTS

KIDS DON'T NEED A REWARD FOR ANOTHER KIDS BDAY

IF YOU MUST, SUBSTITUTE SOMETHING DURABLE/EDIBLE/COOL. SAY AN AWESOME ROCK OR MARBLES OR A SUCCULENT.

thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
Things no parent (or kid, tbqh) ever wanted more of:
Cheap plastic rings. yo-yos that will bust after one try. plastic kazoos. Glo-sticks. Those things you throw at the wall. Mini pens.
When did parents—who often ask for no gifts for their own kid—start thinking they need to send a kid home with crap? You fed them and entertained them for a few hours. YOUR JOB IS DONE.
Parents are dropping in some nice suggestions, books and gift cards, BUT HONESTLY WHY ARE THE 10 yo GUESTS sent home with a bunch of crap. Who started this insanity. It's wasteful, it's a pretty terrible message, it's added stress for parents. STOP THE MADNESS.
Here’s our solution. Everybody gets a cupcake or three and whatever comes on top of it
