Fun, eco-friendly and reusable packaging for favors. I always have tons of these boxes since I use for various different things – in my studio, my kitchen, pantry etc and when my friend asked me to help her make favors for her 4 year old son under $5, I knew I could put them to good use. So I filled these baskets with legos and used cling wrap to cover the top and sealed around it with washi tape. I used plain paper, marker and stamp to create the thank you note and viola!

favor carriers

drink carrier as toy holder for birthday favors

eco friendly drink carriers filled with summer toys are my favorite favors of them all and yes this was for my sons first birthday in June. I am amazed at the wonderful response I got for these. It was initially going to be the same for everyone but it dint make sense because we had kids from newly born to 10 years old and so I had to custom make it but it was easier than I thought and each favor had a name tag too.  The amazing part is that my girlfriends tell me that they are still using those favors after almost a year and after all it was a favor for both -carrier for the parents and toys for the kids. Love it!
