Description
These party favours are a 30 pack of mixed-design slap bands: a child snaps the band against their wrist and it wraps around instantly, at $21.99 for the pack, which works out at about 73 cents a guest.
The problem with party bags is that everything in them is either forgettable or expensive. A slap band is neither. It is a physical thing that does something, which is why children have been putting them on their wrists for forty years and why they still get worn to school on Monday. Thirty in a pack also solves the maths problem: you are covered for a class party without buying two of anything.

Why Slap Bands Still Work
-
Mixed designs - no two party bags have to look the same, which matters more to a seven year old than it should.
-
Thirty covers a class - most Australian primary classes sit under thirty, so one pack does the whole party.
-
They get worn - unlike most party bag contents, these leave the house again.
-
Doubles as a game prize - pass-the-parcel layers, lucky dip, pin the tail, all covered from the same pack.
-
Under a dollar a child - the entire favour budget for a class party for around twenty dollars.
How Many Designs Are in the Pack?
The pack is supplied with mixed designs rather than thirty identical bands. That is deliberate, because handing out identical favours guarantees an argument and handing out mixed ones turns it into a swap.
What Age Are Slap Bands For?
They suit primary school age, roughly four and up, which is the age group party bags are aimed at anyway. Younger children should be supervised, because a slap band is a flexible metal strip inside a fabric or plastic cover and is not designed for a child who still mouths things.
Are Slap Bands Safe?
Used as intended by school-age children they are fine, and they have been a standard party favour for decades. The things to watch are damage and age: never use a band whose cover is split or torn, because the metal strip inside can have sharp edges, and do not give them to toddlers. Bin any band that comes apart rather than repairing it.
Who Buys These
Parents assembling party bags for a birthday, which is by far the largest group. Teachers building a prize box or an end-of-term treat. Anyone running a fete stall, a school disco or a holiday program who needs thirty of something cheap and instantly popular. They also go into Christmas stockings and Easter hunts, where small and wearable beats small and forgettable.
Pair It With
Party bags need more than one thing in them. Our Party Supplies & Decorations range covers the bags, balloons and tableware, Kid's Supplies has the rest of the favours, and our 50 pack of mochi squishies is the other favour that reliably gets kept.
