Mustache Lollipop Silicon Mold from Amazon |
Super Mario Chocolate Mustaches
I made these for my son's Super Mario birthday party and they gave every child (and adult) such a giggle. I bought the silicone mold from Amazon, the paper lollipop sticks you can get from almost any supermarket, pound shop, or craft shop. I just used cheap milk chocolate, melted it, poured it into the molds (making sure to give it a good tap to get rid of air bubbles), then left in the fridge to set. Easy. Another idea for an awesome Mario themed birthday party.
Super Mario Party Bag Fillers
Here are some really cool ideas for things to fill your party bags with at your child's Super Mario birthday party (these are all also fantastic Christmas stocking fillers for your Super Mario fan!). If you wanted something cheap and easy you can just buy a big stack of Super Mario Lucky Surprise Bags. I've tried to source for you the most inexpensive places in the UK (including delivery) to buy all of these party supply items in bulk. Have a look at Tesco Party online as well to find lots of Mario party supplies all in one place.
Here are the official Super Mario Bros party bags. You could get creative and make your own boxes or bags but here is the easy option!
These Mario Surprise eggs are quite cute and really fun for kids. Inside you get some little star shaped sweets, a sticker, and a toy which could be either a badge, a keyring, or a whistle.
My son loves these. For a while they were selling them in the magazine section of Tesco. Inside, you get a Donkey Kong poster, a lollipop, some refresher-style sweets, a Mario colouring-in sheet, some little paper things to hook over your pencils, and a toy which could be a whistle, question mark post-it notes, a Yoshi keyring, a Mario & Luigi jigsaw puzzle, or some pop out playing cards. Loads to do.
Although plain, these little Mario Bros notepads are great for party bags. Put them together with the Mario pencils and erasers below and you've got a nice little set.
These are quite hard to get hold of and go in and out of stock, but a must for any Super Mario fan.
Super Mario themed Qube's are small blue plastic brick shape tubs with lids that contain strawberry chewy candy, a sticker, sweets and a standee to collect and build. I have found these on Appleton Sweets website, however as they are a wholesale website the delivery fee is huge! I did find some in Toys'R'Us recently so have a look there first.
I love these Super Mario badges. My son likes to pin them onto his Mario plush toys! Great for school bags too. You could even buy a couple of packs and split them up for party bags.
These Mario Flyers are a bit of a disposable toy but fun nevertheless. A good addition to any party bag.
I love these collectable keyrings on chains! They are a little pricey but if your budget will stretch they are a great little party bag filler or stocking filler, and not one that you will just throw away.

Make your own Mario Question Mark Block Shelf
This is a really great way to make your Super Mario themed bedroom both practical and fun. All you need to do is buy some yellow boxes from IKEA, and insert them into an IKEA Kallax shelving unit. Download the question mark template below, print it out onto thick photo paper or thin card, carefully cut out the question mark and the holes for the corners, then spray mount onto the front of the storage boxes. It should turn out looking something like this! Easy, and all for less than £40.
UPDATE: Ikea no longer make this box in yellow - however you can still buy it in white and spray it yellow. Please scroll down to see other options though!
UPDATE! IKEA now make the Kallax unit with bright yellow doors. If you can afford it - this is a better idea, as the doors will last much longer than the Tjena boxes above.
