Friday Favorites: Gift Bags

Hi everyone!  I thought this week's Friday Favorites should be different ideas for what to use for gift bags.  Cellophanes bags have their place, but it's always fun to change it up a bit.

Here are some cute idea for kids favors:

1.  Boxes that can fit treats or toys!  From Oriental Trading Co.
2. Favor bags with name tags on them- a great feature to make sure each kid takes home a bag (and can double as a place setting if needed)
3. Pails! (Buckets work too) but great for a beach theme or pool party- plus the kids can play with the pails themselves.


For grown-up parties!

1. I love these melamine berry baskets (Found at World Market); these would be great for a summer or garden themed party!
2. Ceramic Chalk Spice Jars- I just thought these were nice keepsakes themselves, and of course they could hold some snacks or other goodies.  Plus, write the guest's name on the chalkboard portion to personalize/use it as a seating card.  (Also found at World Market)
3. Don't underestimate the greatness of a basic canister or mason jar.  Fill the canister with recipe ingredients or let guests fill them up with candy! 

I hope today's post helped you come up with some great new ways to package your party favors!
