Thrifted finds

Not all goodies need to be in a bag! When my son was younger he was, like many kids, obsessed with Minecraft and wanted it to be the theme of his birthday party. (With the Minecraft movie coming out in April, I image this theme will be in high demand again.) When it came time for party goodies, I headed to Goodwill where I picked up green cups and mugs. At home I added a little Duct Tape, and presto — creeper mugs! The kids used them at the party and took them home as a favor. Total win. 

Themed T-shirts are another great item to thrift for a party. You can often find kids shirts for just a few dollars. It might take more than one trip to the thrift store, but kids will be thrilled to pick out a Minecraft, Pokémon or My Little Pony shirt to wear during the party, and take home when the party is over.
