These are the easiest and the prettiest favors I have made so far for my sons birthday with the help of my dear friend, Sheelu, who also took these pictures.

I had these take-out boxes from his last years outdoor birthday and was trying to find a way to use them again so here they are.

I made holes on either side and added handles with jute twine. I used colorful card stock to make these flowers – see instructions here. I hot glued them along with the ribbon I made with left over paper and handwrote the thank you note for each kid[I have greyed out the name but you can use your imagination] to add a personal touch.

I filled it with fruit snacks, chocolates and a toy but you can add whatever you like, they are so pretty and can be made for baby and bridal showers too.

favor boxes for kids

custom made favor boxesThanks to my good friend Sheelu and her beautiful daughter Misha, I got this opportunity to create these favor boxes for her birthday this march. I made a bunch of other decorations and banners too so read along. These also come in 4×4 and 5×5 and are made of card stock paper.

 

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!
