Celebrations during quarantine are novel to all of us, we are not used to these circumstances. However, there is loads you can do! Here are some ideas Swag Party Bags is proposing to have the most awesome birthday celebration!
๐ Bake a birthday cake together with your family. Not only does it involve creativity but it also creates memories! It's a great time to bond as a family.
๐ค Play fancy dress, let the birthday girl or boy dress up as their favourite character! Allow them to choose their own outfits, let them run around the house in their favourite party dress or costume, it's their special day after all!
๐Fill your home with balloons and home made decorations. Balloons are inexpensive and can really brighten up the place. And we really need our homes to be brightened up a little right now!
๐ Allow your kids to make their own party bags - Find some empty paper bags at home, decorate them and put some little toys inside. This is a great activity help them build creativity, they will have loads of fun doing this.ย
๐ Play birthday party games like Pass the Parcel, make your own Limbo and play with all the family. Enjoy wrapping your parcels with different magazine sheets and newspapers laying around at home. Build your own limbo with some chairs and a broom stick! You will realise how inexpensive party celebrations can be!
๐ฑHost a virtual birthday party on Zoom or Facebook Messenger. Enjoy your celebration by catching up with all your friends and family on a video chat. It's amazing how beneficial this is to anyone going through social distancing!
๐ฆ Take a virtual trip to the museum.ย Museums, zoos, and theme parks around the world are offering free virtual tours right now, which means you can see exhibits at the Louvre, the Vatican, the San Diego Zoo, and more from the comfort of your couch. Set up a group chat while you navigate and make it a fun event.
๐ฒPlay a boardgame with all the family. There are loads of board games the whole family can enjoy! A great way of diverting screen time to a family event. Challenge each other and enjoy those family moments.
So, moral of the story... while you may not be able to throw the bash you had planned, there's no reason to skip the festivities altogether. If you or someone you love has a birthday coming up, plan one of these birthday party ideas you can do at home. Everyone should still feel special on their big day!
Times are hard, and they may even get harder it's a learning curve for us all. The most important thing for me, during this time is my family's happiness. Not how many crafts my kids are doing, not how much homework they manage to do in a day. I just want my kids, and my husband to feel loved and have a smile on their face because as they say 'Love makes the world go round'!
Enjoy these moments and turn them into beautiful memories! Much love and stay safe! (At home ๐) xx

Shall i keep going? Ok I'll stop here because this blog is really meant to be about our NEW prefilled party bag! But I'm known to get carried away at times. So just stop me.
Ok... So what i really wanted to talk to you about is our new Prefilled Peppa Bag! Did you recognise the little girl in the picture? Yes, finally... That's my daughter Megan! I had been longing to use her face for one of the prefilled bags, but i never thought she was quite the perfect fit for any of the girlie ones so far. But this one had her name written all over it! Imagine she learnt to say the word 'Peppa' before she said the word 'Mama', isn't that cute? Ermmm... No! This little pig has taken the world by storm and my little toddler is in love. Oh well to each his own! So I thought the Peppa character would make a great prefilled party bag! It has some really cute items inside! Wanna see?
ย A super cute canvas drawstring bag
A random Ladybird Peppa Pig Storybookย
A random Peppa Pig family member figure
And a random Peppa Pig Sticker sheet!
Cool or what? We love this bag and we are so excited to have launched it! Did you know we also have Peppa and George paper masks that can be purchased seperately?
Any Peppa lovers out there are surely going to enjoy organising their Peppa themed party, don't you think?ย
So at this rate I think tonight I'm going to dream about Peppa Pig (hopefully not!) I need a break from this little mammal ๐ so I think I'm gonna find myself a grown up movie! Let's see how long I will last... being a working mama is tiring ๐ So long everyone! Cheerio, Julia
]]>Carnival takes place across the islands, with the main celebrations in the capital, Valletta, where many gather to watch parades of colourful floats, music bands, and people in bright costumes and grotesque masks.ย Anyone is allowed to wear whatever costume or mask they desire and walk around the streets in costume during this happy time of the year!ย
We love carnival and we love it so much we would love to be part of the festivities! Anyone wishing to accessorize subtly without going all out can choose some very cool items from our online store.
Anyone wants to be a super hero?
Or a scary dinosaur?
A pirate?
A cute animal?
ย
A unicorn?ย
One of these masks/accessories may be the small touch you need to be in costume this year, whether attending a party of any kind or walking through the streets.ย
We hope everyone enjoys their Carnival holidays to get to enjoy some family time and attend some really cool Carnival parties since there are many being organised over the Carnival period.ย
Cheerio for now! Juliaย
]]>So, Megan is nearly 1 year and a half and she is a true cutie! She is not completely certain of what is going on around her, but she knows that her mummy keeps bringing so many cool toys home! She is a curious girl and wants to be involved in this venture too... and she will be one day, we just need to find the perfect product for her โบ
Here she's wearing one of our Princess Crown Hairbands and playing with a Princess Doll. Both these items may be found on our online store in our Prefilled Princess Bag, or sold seperately to insert in any party bag of your choice. Megan is still a bit young, but I'm so sure that in a year's time she is not going to take that band off of her head!
Anyways, so long for now it's a beautiful sunny day and Megan and I are off to our weekly Baby ballet class were we can have a little 'Us' time โค Cheerio,ย Julia
]]>That's my 3 year old son. My first born, the one who made me a mummy :) Shooting the imagery for the Dinosaur, Superhero and Pirate Prefilled bags, was so much fun. Calum has a really outgoing character and truly got into all of the roles. The hardest part was to get all the stuff off him as he loves role play! I am sure one day he will be performing on a stage, he has it in him. Role playing is such a great way for children to play and discover new personas.
The Super Hero and Dinosaur masks are made out of felt and are great quality. These are found in the prefilled bags or can be bought individually on our online store. I really look forward to shooting more pics of Calum in the near future, I wonder what he will pose for next! We will have to wait and see! Cheerio for now! Julia
