:: This post is back from 2009!!! Wow! Like back in the black and white TV days! 🙂 Anyway, if any of you are planning a family reunion, it was a really cool way to have something for everyone when they get there! ::
Look what I stumbled upon… A post I had started and never finished. How strange, I started something and didn’t finish it. Weird. Ummm yea, I wish. I have been working on my husband for 13 years and am not even close to getting done with that.
Did I say that out loud? It doesn’t count because I typed it right? Let’s keep this between us…
Anyway back to the neglected post. I wanted something to give to everyone at the Family Reunion we had this summer. You know I wasn’t going to pay full price for anything but I wanted it to be kinda nice, so it took a little time to collect everything but I got it done.
I found these backpacks at the Dollar Store, thanks to a tip from my friend Susan who knew I was looking for bags for 30 people. They were perfect. I got all the different families coordinating colors.
Next, I used the same backpacker symbol that was on our t-shirts ( I will post a pic later…) for the reunion on the name tags. I printed one off for everyone and laminated them. Punched a hole and attached them with a small zip tie to the small pocket zipper on the backpack.
I made a schedule of events for everyone so that there is no confusion, or problems in relaying verbal information to 30 people. Basically just things that are actually scheduled and what families are in charge of specific meals for that day. I laminated this an attached it with the name tags. Now no one has an excuse for missing an activity 🙂
This is the loot that everyone got. This was an adult bag. I gave the kids more candy, less razors! Just kidding, they had more toys and little towels, flashlights, and goggles. Are you recognizing any CVS and Target deals??? Just a few huh! I would have to say that almost everything I loaded these bags with were free. It took some time but because I get about 6- 10 papers a week and shopped the sales picking up as many free things at a time that I could I saved hundreds of dollars. I am missing some things from this picture also. We had decks of cards, tooth brushes, Burts Bee’s lip gloss and some other goodies. The guys had cool razors, mens shampoo and body wash. It was nice to be able to provide a nice favor for not much more than my time.
Part comedian, part Dad, part athlete. He will boss around your children while they play ball.
Just as angelic as she looks, this girl could easily raise a Village by herself, and all the children would grow up to be President.
Self proclaimed, she would be a webkinz dog. Because, "they're cute, and puppies are too. And they're sweet and they always get along with other puppies."
This mini-Martha Stewart can handle ANY craft you send her way. She isn't all bows and rainbows, she's got karate kid moves!
Not "Pick-Me-Up" like caffeine, she wants you to pick her up! AND NOW!
Anything that can be destroyed WILL be destroyed!
Practically Perfect in Every Way for now! Nicknamed "The Panda" she is rolly polly and lives by the motto, "the little one, is KING!"
The resident Labradoodle, Miller got his name because Mom won and got to name the baby! Need something chewed up? He'll take care of it. Especially if it's expensive..
That's my back pack!!! And lemme just tell you-I've used the deoderant, shampoo, toothpaste gum, razors and band aid every day since I got it. The snicker melted… but Tonia and I ate ours anyway-you just rip open an end and squeeze. Mmmm…
BEST party favor, EVER. .. Thanks Tiffany!!!

Just came across this article today. I’m now planning a family reunion in Houston next year (2017). Can you elaborate a little more about how you collected freebies over time for the backpacks?
