Funny Green Bag

Funny Green Bag

By Toronto4Kids


There's a new party loot bag in town and it's doing its part to help the environment!

Let's face it … as parents we've all been there! How many times have your kids come home from a party with a plastic loot bag filled with plastic toys and candy - only to find that very bag buried under their bed the next time you were vacuuming!

Funny Green Bag gives families an excellent eco-friendly alternative, as parents and kids become more environmentally aware and look for ways to help preserve our planet. This loot bag is a chic, colourful re-usable cloth bag, filled with "goodies", all purchased with the environment in mind. The beauty of these bags is that they can also be recycled for many other functional purposes. Kids can use it to bring their lunch to school. Or, use it as a gift bag, gym bag, shoe bag, activity bag and countless other uses! And by making them attractive and fun, kids will want to re-use these bags, keeping even more plastic bags out of the landfills.

What's unique about their product is that while many other companies are offering cloth bags, none are as eye-catching or versatile as Funny Green Bags - and many of them don't include the loot!

Many fun themes are available. Our fave is the "Look Ma! No Teeth!" loot bag which includes a funky bag with a Decorate-your-own Tooth Fairy box, Toothbrush and Dental floss. For your "budding" garden enthusiasts there is the "Green Thumb" bag with a Garden marker, 2 seed pots, Seed packet and Handkerchief. The "Game On!" bag features a Sports wristband, Sports clip keychain, and Kickball while the "All About The Bling" bag features a Bracelet kit, Sparkling ring, Necklace and Trinket tin. A Pin and eco-tips are included in every bag. And, if you have a specific theme in mind for your party, purchase the bags only and add your own loot.

Who would have thought a little party loot bag could do so much good and make a big difference… All purchasing for their products is done mainly in Canada, and Funny Green Bag utilizes Canadian artisans and craftspeople wherever they can. Each "loot bag" gives kids tips on how they can help the environment. A percentage of their profits are donated to local charities. And, let's not forget the long-term impact of reducing the amount of plastic bags in landfills!

Says Kim O'Leary, of Funny Green Bag: "We wanted people to see how easy it is to be environmentally conscious and how a small decision like the type of loot bag you give at your child's birthday party can have a huge impact on the amount of waste we generate. Especially our children - they seem to be a lot more environmentally aware and eager to be "green". If we can help them by providing the information they need to be eco-friendly and encourage them, we believe we can make a big difference. They already know it's "cool" to be green, we just need to teach them how."
