goody bag

Guest gift sack

A goody bag is a small bag of treats, party favors, or promotional items given to guests or attendees.

Children receive them at birthday parties; adults get them at conferences or award shows.

The contents are usually minor—candy, trinkets, samples—but the gesture adds festivity: Each kid left with a goody bag.
