Children's pamper parties
Pamper parties may also be organized as a variation to a girl's birthday party for slightly older children in which the theme of the event seeks to mimic an adult pamper party in a safe environment, such as a parent's home.
They combine elements of children's parties, such as party-bags, with elements of adult pamper parties, such as cosmetics and well-being, in a child-friendly manner with "pamper baskets" typically being given to younger guests.{{cite web|title=Example of children's pamper basket|url=http://www.partybagkids.co.uk/pamper-party-little-princess-perfect-pamper-party-take-home-gift/|accessdate=2 June 2014}}
