Birthday Party Favors: Backyard Tent Camping
A favorite birthday party theme for boys and girls of all ages is backyard tent camping! Must-have party favors are flashlights, whistles with a compass, camping mugs, bandanas, binoculars and roasting sticks. The adorable firefly flashlights above will add a sprinkle of delight to the children’s goodie bags and to the evening fun! Tie all of the party favors together with ribbon, rope or twine, or place the party favors inside a canvas drawstring backpack or camping favor box. Another idea is to tie a bandana to the end of a long stick and fill it with the party favors. The roasting sticks can be used during the backyard camping party, but after the event is over each child can take home their very own roasting stick!

Secret Agent spy glasses with mirrored lenses along the sides allow users to see behind them. Mustache disguises, magnifying glasses, Invisible ink pens with a hidden scroll inside, and light-and-sound buzzers round out this secret agent birthday party theme. Place these party favors inside a Top Secret box, or better yet – use black fedora spy hats as spectacular goodie bags.
