We had a fish theme so i did a baggie of fun fish/worm/shark gummies; stickers that matched the label that held the whole bag closed (bought a plum district deal for those), glow bracelets from the Target $1 bin, a packet of Goldfish, and a fish or shark toy from a tub of clearanced Target figurines. ($6 for 40 pieces.) I probably spent $35 for everything, max. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-party-favors-yea-or-nay#post-1364622 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 14:41:56 +0000 prettylizy 1364622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't give anything out. Our only kid guests were all under 2 and their parents don't need anymore stuff in the house either. Everyone ate tons and there were cupcakes, that's all that they cared about! lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-party-favors-yea-or-nay#post-1364607 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 14:39:12 +0000 Mommy Finger 1364607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's a waste of money and didn't give anything out for DS's party. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-party-favors-yea-or-nay#post-1364600 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 14:37:44 +0000 shopaholic 1364600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the kids - yes. We usually get something small for the kids - like bubbles, whistle, rattle. I'm thinking a little hair accessory for the girls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-party-favors-yea-or-nay#post-1364578 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 14:31:05 +0000 beachbee 1364578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't want to fill a goodie bag with kits if stuff that would be thrown out... so instead I made sugar cookies that fit the theme of the party and gave those to the adults. Kids got homemade play dough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-party-favors-yea-or-nay#post-1364096 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 12:23:21 +0000 dolphin 1364096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I gave out for kids (12 kids). It was a Winter ONE-derland theme so I included a personalized winter themed coloring book with the kid's name on it, a snowflake picture frame, crayons, and a pair of cute socks with a tag that says "keep warm". I didn't give anything to the adults, but we did have a hot cocoa bar where they can take to go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-party-favors-yea-or-nay#post-1364013 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 12:02:34 +0000 LuLu Mom 1364013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did but didn't need too...waste of money now that I look back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-party-favors-yea-or-nay#post-1364006 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 12:01:40 +0000 birdofafeather 1364006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had bow and arrows for the kids over 1 (we had about 15) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-party-favors-yea-or-nay#post-1363696 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 11:01:54 +0000 Adira 1363696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're planning on doing favors for the kids coming plus probably some candy for the adults, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-party-favors-yea-or-nay#post-1363688 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 10:59:49 +0000 autumnlove 1363688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like favors...maybe a book? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-party-favors-yea-or-nay#post-1363684 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 10:59:21 +0000 Ginabean3 1363684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Oh I love the herb idea!!!!

If they're a little older, I would do something small just for the kids. The adults probably don't care/need favor bags. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-party-favors-yea-or-nay#post-1363368 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 09:29:20 +0000 wheres_c 1363368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We gave board books in the theme of the party.<br /> They are my favourite favour to receive also. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-party-favors-yea-or-nay#post-1363239 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 08:27:04 +0000 regberadaisy 1363239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a springy theme so for the adults we did potted herbs and the kids got little watering cans with age appropriate treats inside. Pouches for the 1 year old and small toys for the older kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-party-favors-yea-or-nay#post-1363237 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 08:25:55 +0000 Smurfette 1363237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are doing them since all the kids coming are older.
