What a brilliant idea. This is seriously awesome and the kids would have so much fun.

I would have absolutely loved this when my son was young. A fantastic idea.

Wish I’d thought of this when my boys were young. It’s a great idea and saves you a lot of work so you can enjoy too

That is such a great fun thing to do and saves having your home turned upside down

Why not?? As long as they’re well behaved in the store, and they have fun, it sounds like a great idea indeed.

Never heard of this kind of challenge.

I think my daughter would love this, maybe an idea for next year

What a great idea! I know so many adults that would love this party. Haha

A prefer the original idea of giving kids the money to spend as they will. The challenge does add an extra element to it but then kids may be going home with items that they don’t want/like/or need. As a parent I’d rather my child come home with one $20 item then 3 items

A very interesting idea and probably works out cheaper than buying everything needed for a party!

I think my daughter would love it, in fact, I think my son would too.

What a novel idea for a girls’ 13th birthday party. No cleaning up afterwards and the girls all got money to spend on anything they wanted and what 13 year old wouldn’t be happy with that. I’m sure they couldn’t stop talking about the wonderful time they had. Congratulations Mum on such a wonderful idea

An interesting idea and the children would have had a ball shopping!

That’s actually kind of cool and no mucking around! My daughter would love it.

I rate this idea for a kids birthday party – sometimes it’s so hard to figure out what to do for tweens and teens!

It’s certainly different.

Not something I would choose to do, but at least the parents of the guests don’t have to pay for the presents

What a novel idea. Thank you for sharing this and letting us know how things went.

Thank you for sharing this article.

I love this! What an absolutely brilliant idea. So clever. I might do this for my 50th and give everyone $50 to spend!!!
