Top 12 Party Favors

They say its better to give than to receive. Use this guide to find the perfect favor for your guests.

Bottle of Grey Goose, Bacardi Rum, or Fenom with mixers, holiday glasses, and peppermint sticks. For a nice touch, include the recipe for a festive holiday cocktail  or a fun cocktail book that your guests can use with their Grey Goose. Some of my favorite cocktails books are The Cocktail: 200 Fabulous Drinks by Jane Rocca and The Essential Cocktail: The Art of Mixing Perfect Drinks by Dale Degroff.

Fresh baked cookies in cellophane wrap with a holiday label and festive bow. Get creative with your holiday labels and design them in festive colors with a picture of yourself or your name in fun font. If you don’t have time to customize your labels, head down to a local greetings card store, such as Paper-Source or Hallmark, and pick up a pack of holiday stickers to paste on the front of your bags. 

One CRUMBS cupcake. Everyone loves a great cupcake. Put each individual cupcake in their own box, and tie closed with a ribbon so that it mirrors the image of a present.

A great ornament. Ornaments are always a great idea for a holiday party favor because they serve as reminders of your party each year that they are hung on the tree!  Try to customize your ornament to match the taste of the person you is receiving the gift. For example, my son, Lucas, loves our miniature shih tzu, Lulu Flynn, so for Christmas, I put an ornament in his stocking of a shih tzu puppy.

A box of great holiday cards. A great holiday card is guaranteed to be hit with all of your guests because they can turn around and use them during the holiday season. You can find fun, festive holiday cards at Paper-Source and Hallmark stores, and can then have addressed in an elegant calligraphy font. If you don’t want to spend the money on buying cards from a store, make your own holiday cards and tie them with a ribbon. I like customizing my cards by making labels with pictures of my son and dog dressed in holiday attire, and then pasting them on each card before they are sent out! If you don’t have the time, Paper-Source makes great holiday cards.

The book the Nightmare Before Christmas. The Nightmare Before Christmas is a holiday classic that you can be sure all of your guests will love. In order to save money, opt for the miniature size version of the book. Not only will this add a fun touch to your party favor, but it is also a convenience way for your guests to carry the book with them in their purse or car during the holiday season.

Custom make a holiday CD and decorate the front and case. There is no better way to put people in the holiday spirit then by listening to their favorite holiday classics! People love things homemade so have fun making this party favor. Your guests will love it!

Wrapping paper and a ribbon set. You can never have enough wrapping paper. Between holidays, birthdays, and special occasions, this practical party favor is a guaranteed success with all of your guests.

Serendipity frozen hot chocolate mix. Switch up the tradition version of hot chocolate by giving your guests a box of Serendipity frozen hot chocolate mix. This is the perfect refreshment to serve at parties or to simply enjoy on a sunny day at home!

A bottle of wine with a custom label on it. Nothing says the holidays better than a good glass of wine. Get creative with your party favor, and customize your own personal wine labels with your name on it and either a photo or image of your party on it.

A gourmet gift basket. Choose between baskets of fruit, chocolates, cheese, and other gourmet gift towers to find the perfect holiday favor for your guests! Make your own or order a basket from sites like 1-800-Baskets!
