☀️ Heat-Proof Party Bags: How to Handle a Very Hot May

It’s official—May has turned tropical! While we love a sunny celebration, rising temperatures can play havoc with your party bags. Think melted chocolate, sticky sweets, and overheated toys. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with smart and fun ways to create heatproof party bags that will survive even the hottest birthday bash.

1. Swap the Sweets for Cool Treats
Chocolate and jelly sweets don’t fare well in the heat. Instead, try summer-safe alternatives like mini popcorn bags, dried fruit, yogurt drops, or flavoured water sachets that just need a splash of cold water. These heat-resistant goodies won’t melt or make a mess—and kids still love them.

2. Choose Heat-Safe Fillers
Instead of sticky toys or plastic that warps, go for heat-friendly fillers. UV colour-change pencils, mini bubble pots, water squirters, and themed sticker sheets all hold up perfectly. Summer must-haves like mini fans, visors, or sunglasses also make fantastic and functional additions.

3. Rethink Your Party Bag Packaging
Plastic bags can trap heat. Opt for paper party bags or drawstring fabric pouches, and keep them stored in a shaded or cool area until the big moment. If you’re using heat-sensitive items, consider placing a cooling gel pack inside or even storing your bags in a cooler box until you hand them out.

4. Create a Water Play Bag
Embrace the heat with party bags that inspire splashy fun! Fill bags with water balloons, sponge bombs, or small squirt guns. Add a towel or poncho and let kids turn up the fun with an impromptu water fight—it’s a party activity and a party favour in one.

5. Make a “Beat-the-Heat” Survival Kit
Think beyond sweets and toys with a themed survival kit. Include a cooling wipe, SPF lip balm, mini fan, summer activity card, or reusable water bottle sticker. It’s thoughtful, useful, and perfect for parents who’ll appreciate the practicality as much as the kids enjoy the surprise.

With a little creativity, your party bags for hot weather can still bring smiles without the stickiness. From melt-free fillers to splash-friendly themes, May’s heat is no match for your summer-ready supplies.
