goody bags

Take-home treat sacks

Goody bags are small bags of treats, toys, or favors given to guests at parties—especially children's birthday parties.

Each child takes one home as a parting gift: The goody bags had candy, stickers, and small toys.

The term extends to any collection of freebies: Conference attendees received goody bags from sponsors.
