A cool party favor simply needs to be thoughful and appropriate for the guests.
Thank each guest at your party by giving them a cool favor. Put thought and effort into the party favor. Give a party favor that is useful, enjoyable or serves as a memento. Make the party favor appropriate for the type of occasion. A party favor for Halloween is much different than one given at a 70th wedding anniversary. Plan well in advance when deciding upon a party favor in order to control costs. Does this Spark an idea?
Kid's Birthday Party Favors
Party favors for small kids are simple to assemble. Fill a birthday gift bag, available at retail stores, with a bottle of bubble solution, several home-baked cookies and individualized with small trucks and cars for the boys and a mirror with comb set for the girls. Another idea is to give each kid a minigumball dispenser - appreciated by both boys and girls - with a small box of refill gumballs, available at retail and online stores. The parents can continue to buy refills as desired. Place a bow on the plastic gumball bubble of the dispenser.
Baby Shower Favors
The hostess of a baby shower can use a party favor to express her personal appreciation for the guests and their support of the mother-to-be. The baby shower favor can be frivolous yet practical items such as specialty soap and a small tin of fancy chocolates. The inclusion of an item from the mother-to-be, such as an individually wrapped angel or butterfly pin, if she feels up to it, adds value to the party favor.
Holiday Party Favors
Get ideas and talent contributions from the entire family to assemble a homemade favor for each holiday party guest. If one member of the family is an artist, have them make some appropriate drawings for the holidays, and if another member has a singing talent, a CD of several holiday songs would contribute to the party favor. Include individually wrapped home-baked cookies or candy to complete the favor. Another party favor is a decorative picnic-style basket including a bottle of local wine with summer sausage and specialty cheese. Other party favor ideas include a selection of "Happy Holiday" cards that the party guests can use to send to family and friends and a newsletter that brings the guests up to date on the host family's activities during the past year.
