Party Favors Sure to Please

After the candles are blown out and the presents unwrapped, it's time for party favors! Finding kid- and parent-pleasing favors can be a snap, here are some ideas to help with your search!

Search the grocery section. Have you ever stopped to check out the sheer number of fruit snack varieties? Chances are good there’s a fruit snack to match your party theme. Don't overlook those mini items-mini cereal boxes, packages of muffins, granola bars. Grab a few and place in a festive bag and you’ll have a yummy favor in no time!

Pick out in the health and beauty supply area. Most kids love band-aids adorned with their favorite characters. They come in enough varieties to please boys and girls. Lip gloss, nail polish and hair ties also make great favors.

Don't overlook the toys. Sure, the toy aisles are filled with plenty of expensive toys, but what about packages of Play-doh? Give each child just one can. Small Lego kits, card games or magic tricks are also great choices. See what you can find hidden among the toys.

Think art. The craft and office supply sections are a gold mine! Washi tape, coloring books, boxes of crayons, pencils, markers, notebooks and on and on all make for favors that are sure to be used once the party is over.

Dig through the dollar section. You’ll find puzzles, bath toys, straws, pool toys, stickers, books and more. There are so many treasures to be found at the dollar store!

Be creative and have fun knowing that the favors you buy will put a smile on the faces of the children and the parents.
