New Loot Bags Are Up

Things can get pretty crazy around here - okay, things are ALWAYS pretty crazy around here! It's taken us about three weeks but we have finally added some new loot bag items onto our website. Yippi!

As simple as it sounds, loot bags can be pretty difficult. The challenge comes with finding neat stuff at good prices. Once we find it, we have to cross our fingers and hope that our suppliers will not only carry those items for months or years but keep them at the same price - or lower price. Many times we find something really neat only to have our supplier stop carrying the item or have the price change. We do understand that they too are at the mercy of their suppliers but it doesn't make our lives any easier.

Currently we are using a plastic based bag to package our loot in. We are trying to find a better solution that will not only be greener but won't increase our costs (and therefore increase your costs). Things like compostable bags and fabric totes are neat ideas but just not feasible at the moment.

What does our loot bag future hold? Well hopefully better bags! And we're also looking for 'greener' items to put in those bags. Stuff like tree/flower planting kits, create-your-own-neat-thing-that-you'll-keep-for-years kits would be a very welcome addition provided the quality and the price were right. After all, when you're buying loot bags, you're not buying for one or two kids many times you're buying for 15 kids!

If you have any ideas or can point me in a great direction, please post your ideas! :)
