Birthday Parties
Party Favors
Do you do them? If so what are your favorites and least favorites?
For the last couple of parties we have been too, I have to say I have hated them. On Saturday at 1st bday party, DD got a little sand bucket filled with bubble gum, hard candy, and a bunch of other little odds and ends she can't have. Thankfully I had some thing in my purse to put in but it would have been easier not to have it all.
I ask bc I am thinking of DD's 2nd bday party and not sure of party favors. For her 1st we did the large swirl lollipops, this year not sure. Theme is minnie mouse but there will be boys and girls there.

Re: Party Favors
Personally, I'm not a huge fan of edible party favors (but I know I'm in the minority). I think it's hard with the little ones to know what they eat/what they're allowed to eat.
So far my favorite party favors have been - a little reuseable bag and snack container, sunglasses, and bubbles.
Have you checked the Disney store website? What about water bottles/glasses?
We've done sunglasses, big containers of chalk for outside, echo microphones, instruments (from the Melissa & Doug kit), pirate hats & gold coins, capes...but there were for Sunshine party, Musical Jamboree, Pirate party, Superhero party...
I always give them, they are fun and the kids expect them.
For the 1st bday (dinosaur theme) we gave dinosaur bath squirters and soft softball for boys; princess accessories for girls (& candy for all)
For the 2nd (Thomas the train) we just gave bubbles but we had a big cookie/candy bar with bags for the guests to fill and take home and a pinata filled with play food, animals and magnets
Some favors my DS has gotten that he liked best were bubbles, coloring book, edible favors, any kind of car
I make different party favours for each kid attending my party based on their age group and have the same bag or container for everyone.
We did Mickey Mouse clubhouse this year. Most of the toddlers got: Bubbles, crayons, these MM fruit crisps: https://www.brothersallnatural.com/mickey-mouse-apple-fruit-crisps , Mickey Mouse Playdoh kit and the girls got Minnie Mouse sunglasses and the boys got a hotwheel.
When I think of Minnie and Mickey I think of those iconic hands/gloves. What about giving these hand clackers to the boys?
I usually hate favors. I don't need any crappy plastic toys and I don't want my kid to have a bunch of sugar.
I didn't do favors for the 1st birthday but we did themed stickers and crayons for the 2nd. I like consumables (bubbles, playdoh, markers) and books for favors.
We had favors. Her party was rainbow/unicorn themed so I had big rainbow swirl lollipops tied up with a little rubber duckie that was a rainbow unicorn and a pennant with each child's name. We also had bubbles for all the kids and I made coloring books that were themed for her party.
