Last year, we gave little construction hats and vests to the kids to wear at the party and then take home afterwards.</p> <p> Our favorite favor to receive was sidewalk chalk. We are always running out of sidewalk chalk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-party-favor#post-2555981 Wed, 25 May 2016 08:27:52 +0000 mediagirl 2555981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tysonja: what a great idea! I was going to give cookies as the favors but a cookie necklace sounds even better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-party-favor#post-2540411 Wed, 04 May 2016 06:20:10 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2540411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For ds party this year I did<br /> Chocolate (woops ;) )<br /> Stickers<br /> Bubbles<br /> Play doh </p> <p>The little girls (sisters of the older friends, all under 1 year) got a board book and a head band. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-party-favor#post-2540391 Wed, 04 May 2016 04:43:06 +0000 travelgirl1 2540391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bubbles, balloons, stickers, chalk, little notebooks and crayons...<br /> I will go against the grain and say I don't mind the cheap plastic crap. It entertains them for an hour and then I can chuck it out overnight when it has done its job.<br /> I hate getting candy though. I let LO eat whatever she wants at the party, but don't really want to give her a bag of sugar at the end too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-party-favor#post-2540367 Tue, 03 May 2016 23:57:49 +0000 tysonja 2540367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>great thread! i'm trying to think of ideas for my son's bday coming up.</p> <p>this bakery around here makes cookies on a string (sugar cookies threaded with a ribbon - to make a cookie necklace). somehow wearing/eating a cookie necklace is pretty much the coolest thing ever. and one is enough! :) they would be pretty easy to make, i think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-party-favor#post-2540357 Tue, 03 May 2016 23:16:59 +0000 BeachMama 2540357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gotta say....I hate bubbles and stickers. Bubbles usually end up in frustration because she can't reach in a get the wand herself and stickers end up everywhere.</p> <p>Snacks, cups, books....useful stuff </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-party-favor#post-2539729 Tue, 03 May 2016 12:14:02 +0000 lamariniere 2539729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Small snacks. DS was at a party last week and they got a bag with candy/treats and one cheapie plastic toy that is already lost. I honestly don't mind the treats because it gets put away right away and he only gets one piece at a time as a special treat. We never buy candy, so it's definitely special around here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-party-favor#post-2539689 Tue, 03 May 2016 11:28:51 +0000 808love 2539689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did a metal themed lunch box filled with a unicorn necklace, fancy painted cookie, themed books and colored hair braid clip ons. </p> <p>Really depends on the age and theme though.<br /> We always give away the balloon decorations on the way out though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-party-favor#post-2539035 Mon, 02 May 2016 14:15:56 +0000 regberadaisy 2539035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer useful things like snacks, cups, straws, etc. we just had Dd1's 4th at the zoo and we have out foam animal masks, animal crackers and animal stamps. All big hits with the kids (they were playing with them at the party). The zoo also included a free admission for future, a sticker and this tiny animal parachute toy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-party-favor#post-2539030 Mon, 02 May 2016 14:10:11 +0000 dolphin 2539030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD got a cute animal umbrella at a party and she's been obsessed with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-party-favor#post-2539023 Mon, 02 May 2016 14:01:12 +0000 Silva 2539023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got small terra cotta pots for 1.00 each. The kids painted them at the party (but you could skip this!) and before they left shoveled a little dirt and planted some zinnia seeds. The actual planting took like 30 seconds so it was an easy activity to do on the way out the door. People seemed to like them and the kids enjoyed it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-party-favor#post-2539017 Mon, 02 May 2016 13:56:20 +0000 PinkElephant 2539017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: I've never seen those tails before - they're hilarious!

Both were from Oriental Trading. </p> [attach=1632/16/o6kciw.600x337.20160430_181046.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-party-favor#post-2538925 Mon, 02 May 2016 12:57:26 +0000 nana87 2538925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had little star-shaped sunglasses in ours that were a huge hit! I've seen daycare kids wearing theirs to school since our party ;) they're from party city and were super cheap (impulse buy when I was buying plastic ware) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-party-favor#post-2538906 Mon, 02 May 2016 12:42:08 +0000 bushelandapeck 2538906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Balloons, small snacks, playdoh....anything that isn't plastic basically. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-party-favor#post-2538875 Mon, 02 May 2016 12:20:33 +0000 erinbaderin 2538875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At the last party we were at we got a $5 gift card to a local frozen yogurt place, which I thought was a great idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-party-favor#post-2538863 Mon, 02 May 2016 12:10:46 +0000 PinkElephant 2538863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids really like balloons, or something to wear at the party (butterfly wings, super hero capes, masks, crowns, leis, grass skirts.....). I've given books, which were a hit, and while we haven't received it, I know they'd love chalk (and as a mom, I'd like that it goes away/gets used up). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-party-favor#post-2538849 Mon, 02 May 2016 11:59:17 +0000 chopsuey 2538849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bubbles, coloring books, markers, sidewalk chalk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-party-favor#post-2538781 Mon, 02 May 2016 10:57:50 +0000 autumnlove 2538781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Book </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-party-favor#post-2538762 Mon, 02 May 2016 10:44:28 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2538762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>a book or balloons are always a hit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-party-favor#post-2538752 Mon, 02 May 2016 10:31:52 +0000 yin 2538752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This year we handed a goodie bag with a mini notepad, marker, stickers, temporary tattoo, glow in the dark dinosaurs, and a stamp.
