It is always nice to leave a party with a favor. It is not only a reminder of the event, but it is a really nice ‘thank you’ to all the guests that came. Recently, I helped throw a 25th Wedding Anniversary party for a family member and I was responsible for the favors. Since there was a large range of ages with the guests, I decided on 3 different favors to appeal to everyone.
This was the first one. The tag says ‘Love is Brewing’. There was a bag of coffee inside that was a 6 cup pouch. I ordered them online and they were relatively inexpensive. To make the pouch, I bought burlap with lace attached to one side. I sewed the seams together and finished the edges on the back. This was extremely easy to make and after putting the ribbon and tag on them, they were a tremendous hit at the party.
Here’s the second one. The tag reads ‘NUTS for each other’ and there is a bag of peanuts inside. For these, I also bought a plain roll of burlap and cut it in 10 inch pieces. I folded them in half and sewed up the sides. I put a tag and burlap ribbon on it and tied it with twine. Another great favor.
The third one. Super simple. The tag says ‘Love is Sweet’ and it is a bag of 25 Hershey Kisses. This was for the younger kids at the party, which they all enjoyed.
Herb Garden
I gave these to my daughter and daughter-in-law for Mother’s day. They loved them. All they have to do is put them on their window sill and watch them grow. They’ll have fresh herbs all season. I put parsley, Basil, Dill and Thyme in this basket, but any herbs will do. This is one of those gifts that everyone likes to receive all year round.
