I have a gathering with acquaintances who have toddlers and young kids ranging from 3-8. What should I buy and bring along? Someone is bringing sparklers for the children so can anyone recommend suitable things I can bring? I'm a first time mum to a 10mo, so no idea what children like but I'm bringing goreng Pisang for the adults!

Are you thinking to bring along food or something for the kids to play with? Sparklers seem quite dangerous with three years old around. How about Portable Speaker with nice children's music. It gets them into a more relaxed mood faster and also makes the ambience more fun. For food for the kids can bring along some finger food like cup cakes or raisins.
