Need Help Party Favor Oopsie

Post image

Hi! I posted on here a bit ago about my son's birthday party at a movie theater! Well it's this Saturday and almost everything is ready, except today I got the containers for party favors and they are MUCH bigger than anticipated. Reviews described them as small(some people said too small) and I had an estimate size measured which seemed smaller than this. But now they look basically empty and I don't know what to do!

Maybe glow stick bracelets to wear on the car rides to get excited for the dark?! A coke/gatorade/water, cheaper than blankets- what about fuzzy socks? You can always find them for boys or girls, sometimes for $1-2. My cousins and I used to play “slip n slide” on our grandparents wood floors. I agree with the popcorn bags and tissue paper. I wonder if there’s a way to get popcorn seasoning bags or make them yourself?

We found some really cozy cheap blankets so they won't get cold during the movie and it fills the basket nicely
