It is easy to grab a few things from the supermarket to add an instant party feel, all to be used once and then thrown away. Try substituting some of these to reduce the plastic load.

Fairy lights can instantly make a room magical! Although not recyclable, they can last a few years. If you only want them for a single occasion, you probably have friends who could lend you some. Bunting You can buy cotton bunting in many designs from places such as https://cottonbunting.co.uk/
