We made theme tshirt irons for 2-3 yr olds. Gigantic swirl lollipops for older kids with a themed name sticker on it. And theme board books for the babies.</p> <p>Also We served mini cupcake pops as part of our dessert. Some kids pulled off our helium balloons off the fence and took them home as unintended favors. </p> <p>Love those hairpins and bowties! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-have-you-done-for-party-favors#post-224133 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 15:39:35 +0000 kokobee 224133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovelife: thank you :)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-have-you-done-for-party-favors#post-224098 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 14:56:51 +0000 polkadots 224098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kokobee: LOVE your party stuff! wow that awesome. thats definitely pinterest material. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-have-you-done-for-party-favors#post-224085 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 14:41:54 +0000 kokobee 224085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: haha, thank you! it was a lot of work but i enjoyed doing it for my LO :D</p> <p>there's a lot of cute stuff in the target $1.00 section! if it wasn't for the theme i went for i would've probably done the same :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-have-you-done-for-party-favors#post-224071 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 14:32:25 +0000 sandy 224071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kokobee: your LO's party looked amazing!!!

Just favors for the kids--shopped at Michael's and they have a whole bunch of $1 or $2 toys, coloring books, little toys, that we picked up. Also bought some squirt water guns and neon necklaces from amazon. will also throw in some kids clif bars that i picked up from costco. i also looked at oriental trading, but found most of the things i needed at michael's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-have-you-done-for-party-favors#post-223782 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 11:46:41 +0000 brownie 223782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We gave every family a book (Peter Pan) and a 1 year old picture of the baby. It worked out much cheaper than actual goody bags and it is something they can keep and use. I don't know what we will do for next year.</p> <p>My friend made Dora coloring books and gave us all crayons for her daughters 3 year old birthday party. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-have-you-done-for-party-favors#post-223778 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 11:43:09 +0000 kokobee 223778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we had a candy bar and various desserts for adults and for the kids i made bowties/hairpins and also made chocolate mustaches.</p> <p><a href="http://s1061.photobucket.com/albums/t462/princeevan11/HB/?action=view&amp;current=18-1-1.jpg"><img src="http://i1061.photobucket.com/albums/t462/princeevan11/HB/18-1-1.jpg" alt="18-hb" /></a></p> <p><a href="http://s1061.photobucket.com/albums/t462/princeevan11/HB/?action=view&amp;current=25-1.jpg"><img src="http://i1061.photobucket.com/albums/t462/princeevan11/HB/25-1.jpg" alt="25-hb" /></a></p> <p><a href="http://s1061.photobucket.com/albums/t462/princeevan11/HB/?action=view&amp;current=27-1.jpg"><img src="http://i1061.photobucket.com/albums/t462/princeevan11/HB/27-1.jpg" alt="27-hb" /></a></p> <p><a href="http://s1061.photobucket.com/albums/t462/princeevan11/HB/?action=view&amp;current=23-1.jpg"><img src="http://i1061.photobucket.com/albums/t462/princeevan11/HB/23-1.jpg" alt="23-hb" /></a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-have-you-done-for-party-favors#post-223702 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 10:16:50 +0000 heffalump 223702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made sugar cookies for adults (I think edibles are always good) and bought the kids little goodies in the theme for the party.

I did little mason jars with homemade brownie mis inside, a cute label. and the recipe on the tag.
