So pass on the favor and show your guests you’re glad they came to your birthday party by sending them home with one of these birthday party favors. These creative (and candy-filled) party favors are sure to please.

Building Blox Box
Normally you don’t encourage kids to play with their food, but this building blox candy is an exception. Fill simple favor boxes with Building Blox candy for a toy kids can eat.
Jewelry Box
A simple gift box becomes a special jewelry box when decorated with glitter and press-on gems. Fill the box with candy necklaces, ring pops and twinkle diamond candy.
Buy bulk candy for a sparkly treat at an affordable price. For extra fun, supply glitter glue, gems, and other craft supplies and let your guests decorate their own favor boxes.
Throwback candy
Kids aren’t the only ones who have birthday parties. If you’re throwing a party for an adult, send your guests home with retro candy from the 50’s, 60’s, or 70’s. Your guests will love the nostalgic feeling of eating the candy they loved when they were kids.
