Tanya-
I can't give you a list of items but if you have an iParty store (or similar) in your area try there for little toys. (WalMart may be a good place too.) I made goodie bags for the kids who attended my son's 1st birthday party and I got various items from iParty. I found the selection a bit limited for the 1 year olds but for the 5+, I had trouble limiting myself
There was lots to choose from!
The thing I did buy that I really liked was bubbles. These weren't ordinary bubbles but bubbles that didn't pop immediately. You could catch them and stack them!!!
HTH!
