Shopping for Lolly Bag Ideas by Age Group

Choosing treats based on age ensures everyone enjoys what is inside. Here are a few simple suggestions:

Toddlers and preschoolers:

Soft chews, fruit-flavoured lollies and animal-shaped gummies are a great pick. Avoid hard or sour sweets.

Primary school-aged kids:

Tweens:

Novelty lollies, collectible toys and branded favourites like Zappo Showbags offer something with a bit of edge.

This approach makes it easy to create age-appropriate bags without buying lots of separate products. Many of our curated Showbags already include a good mix across these age groups.
