Birthday ShareParty!

Birthday ShareParty is a joyful, sustainable way to celebrate your child’s big day—by sharing gently loved toys instead of buying new ones. It’s a party with purpose, where fun meets kindness and every gift tells a story. If we all turn out birthday parties into ShareParties, we can greatly reduce circulation of new toys.

Why ShareParty?

Reduce Circulation of New Toys

If more families turned their birthday celebrations into Share Parties, we could significantly reduce the number of new toys being produced, packaged, and tossed aside each year. This simple shift not only cuts down on plastic waste and carbon emissions—it helps rewrite the script on what it means to give.

Celebrate What Really Matters

A Share Party isn’t just about gifts—it’s about connection, creativity, and fun. When kids receive gently loved toys, it becomes an adventure of discovery—every toy has a story, and every swap sparks new kinds of play. It’s not about more stuff; it’s about more joy, more memories, and meaningful moments shared with others.

Start the Change, Embrace Regifting

It starts with us. When we embrace regifting and thoughtful sharing, we show our kids that kindness, creativity, and sustainability can be part of every celebration.
Over time, this simple shift can reshape what birthdays mean—not just for one family, but for an entire generation.
Let’s make regifting something to be proud of—joyful, generous, and totally normal!

How to throw a Birthday ShareParty

Instead of new toys, we invite families to celebrate with joyfully shared, gently loved gifts—reducing waste, teaching kindness, and sparking meaningful connections. It’s not just a party. It’s a planet-friendly tradition in the making.
