Anything that is consumed each birthday falls into this category. There's a suggested list to add to your box below to get you started.
- Crepe paper streamers
- Balloons (in a variety of coordinating colors)
- Balloon garland tape (for making balloon garlands - replace as needed)
- Glue dots (for balloon garlands - replace as needed)
