Useful party favors

[sandandsea]

I need to buy favors for ds1s bday party. It’s a Minecraft theme, age 7, and I want to spend under $3 per kid. I’d like something useful as no one wants more junk like play doh, slime, pencils, etc. We’ve gotten string backpacks lately at a couple and t shirts that seemed better.

Oh and I’m totally on team no favors but it’s a thing here and completely expected.

I did a mini-fig at DD’s Legos party. You can get blind bags of Minecraft figures for $4 and may be able to find them for a lesser price. The mini-figs were a huge hit.

We did little activity booklets. I wouldn’t say they were the biggest hit ever but at least it wasn’t junk.

Take a look at all the stuff at oriental trading.

Could you just do something like a decorated cookie, individually wrapped for each kid?

What about some little blind bags/box? You might be able to find them somewhere cheaper: www.bestbuy.com/site/jnx-minecraft-craftables-series-2-blind-box-styles-may-vary/5934402.p?skuId=5934402

Socks! DS has a six sock set, and it was not expensive. I’m serious that the wearables are cute because the kids see each other in them. Adorableness!

2chatter, at first I was like eww socks. But DD's class is so adorable, I could imagine them all going back to her K class and showing off their socks lol. I read to the class and the boys were so cute. They were all like pink is my favorite color too, and I love horses. There is something special about K that none of the other grades including pre-school have.

These building blocks are very inexpensive. I was going to have these as a favor for DS' robot party but we're doing mini transformer figures instead.

I like the mini-figure/blind bag and cookie ideas. I've had kids decorate a cookie to take home. It doubles as an activity and party favor. I also gave out large candy bars at DS's last party, but I know that can be tricky/not necessarily universal with food allergies.

I like to get the theater boxes of Swedish Fish from the Dollar Tree. One per kid and $1 per kid. Easy to hand out and the kids love them. No allergy issues either

Socks and candy for the win!

ETA. I got the Minecraft socks from target and am getting green (grass) or blue (diamond sword) rock candy on a stick. I’ll let dh choose which color he prefers.

ETA. Diamond sword candy for the win.

Here is the final product. Thanks for the suggestions! I’m going to print a little card to tape to the front too!

So cute! Hope the party goes wonderfully!
