    Pinatas are fun for all ages—after all, how often in life is hitting something with a stick encouraged? Add to that the anticipation of the pinata breaking, whatever is inside being released, followed by a mad rush as everyone collects what they can. There’s a reason pinatas have become a staple for many kids' birthdays, however, pinatas can be a great addition to almost any festivity. Adult birthdays, holidays, bachelorette parties—pinatas are limited only by your imagination. Plus, a wide variety of sizes, from giant versions to mini pinatas, means you can have fun with any size of group. No matter your celebration, sellers on Etsy have pinata options for you.

    The classic thing to put inside a pinata is candy, but really you can put anything inside you’d like. Here are some fun items to consider stuffing your pinata with:


    • Sweets: Candy and chocolate are the most common pinata stuffers and will be a hit at most parties. Mini chocolate bars and wrapped candy will be delicious rewards, and small bags of cookies are a winning choice as well.
    • Toys: Small, plastic toys make a great prize for those who grab one. Cars, collectibles, even finger puppets will be fun for youngsters.
    • Snacks: Bags of snacks can be a healthier option to pinata candy. Crackers, fish-shaped crackers, and chips, all make great alternatives to candy.
    • Pencils, pencil toppers, and erasers: Fun and useful, writing supplies are popular, especially if school is approaching. Go for themed pencils and accessories to make the prizes extra fun.
    • Hair clips and headbands: Pick colorful, fun hair clips and headbands that kids will love to take home and wear.
    • Plastic jewelry: Bracelets or plastic rings serve as great prizes for kids and Mardi Gras beads are fun for all ages.
    • Stickers: Stickers are fun for kids events, but don’t ignore them for adult parties. Mature stickers can be funny surprises for an event like a bachelorette party.

    There are all sorts of fun designs to choose for your pinata. Consider the occasion and go from there. If you’re looking for inspiration, here are some fun pinata options to choose from:


    Animal pinatas: If you want to keep things simple or traditional, a donkey is a classic pinata design. Want to make your animal a bit more unique? There are all kinds of other animal pinatas to choose from thanks to the sellers on Etsy, like cows, elephants, and penguins, just to name a few.

A single number is most common, like when you’re celebrating your child turning seven. However, some Etsy sellers have double digit pinatas for older celebrations. You can also always combine two single number pinatas for double the pinata fun.
