Christmas Favors

There’s something about the holiday season that puts people in a festive mood. By the time Christmas Day itself rolls around, you may have already attended multiple Christmas parties with old friends, colleagues, and neighbors. You may even find yourself organizing some of these parties. If you’ve ever organized a Christmas party, then you know that no Christmas party is complete without Christmas favors.

Christmas party favors make for great souvenirs of memorable Christmas parties. Due to the diversity of today’s online marketplace, you can very easily find bulk amounts of these party favors from many websites. However, have you considered making these items on your own? Your guests may appreciate handmade Christmas party favors. Here are some ideas you can consider.

Candy jars as Christmas Favors

If you’re pressed for time but you still want to give out special party favors, you can go with small jars filled with candy. Small, decorative glass jars with lids work best for these favors. You can decorate transparent Mason jars with ribbon and stickers, or paint the Mason jars green and red. Once the jars are ready, fill them up with sweet treats. You can fill the jars with hard peppermint candy, miniature candy canes, or more indulgent sweets such as individually-wrapped chocolate truffles.

Gift Baskets

Gift baskets always work as great Christmas favors. You can make one type of gift basket for your female guests and another type of gift basket for your male guests. Use red or green baskets and a length of gold or silver ribbon to decorate the baskets. For the women’s baskets, you can include small bottles of perfume, skin care products such as lotion or body wash, or make-up such as lip gloss and mascara. Recipe jars can also be tucked into these baskets. For men’s gift baskets, on the other hand, you can include shaving products, gloves, or jars of snacks such as cookies and chocolate.

Wine glass charms

Wine glass charms are party favors that are very easy to make. All you need are medium-sized silver wire earring hoops and Christmas-themed charms. Make sure that the wire earring hoops are no more than an inch in diameter, so the wine charm won’t slip off the base of the wine glass. You can use charms in the shape of Christmas trees, reindeer, angels, or snowflakes. Once the charms are in place on the hoop, use stoppers to keep them secure. You can give these party favors to your guests for use during the party, so they can easily identify their wine glasses.

Scented candles in luminaries

Scented candles may seem like common party favors, but you can dress these candles up by placing them in paper luminaries. You can make holiday-themed luminaries by hand, using green or red paper craft bags. Once you have the craft bags, cut out designs on the front and back of the bags. Make sure that the cut-outs are not large enough to expose the candle. When you finish designing the luminary, use a glue gun to secure the candle to the bottom of the bag. For these party favors, it’s best to use small to medium-sized candles that aren’t too heavy; larger candles may cause the luminaries to tear.
