Ideas For Christmas Party Favors

Fill stockings with small treats.


No Christmas party is complete without party favors to send home with your guests. Whether the guests are adults or children, there are many creative and affordable Christmas party favor ideas to together at home. Consider the theme of the Christmas party when selecting favors. Does this Spark an idea?


Personalized Ornaments


Ornaments are a fitting option for Christmas party favors. A customized ornament makes the gift more personal and allows the ornaments to double as place cards at the dinner table. Most malls have kiosks near the holidays that sell personalized ornaments. Another option is to make your own ornaments for the guests. Purchase plain glass ball ornaments from a craft store. Decorate the ornaments with paint, glitter, ribbon or other decorative elements. Add each guest's name to an ornament.


Winter Beverages


Winter beverages offer the guests a practical yet appealing favor at a Christmas party. The options for winter beverages are varied. Place hot cocoa, marshmallows and chocolate chips in individual bags inside a mug. Give each guest a small package of a holiday-flavored coffee, which can also be placed inside a mug. Other drink options include holiday teas, wines or mulling spices for cider.


Holiday Food


Food is always a popular favor option. Place homemade holiday candies in a red or green cellophane bag for a festive display. Or use a decorative cookie tin to present Christmas cookies to your guests. Holiday breads that include spices and cranberries are another option. Wrap the loaves of bread in cellophane to keep them fresh and wrap them with holiday ribbon.


Holiday Recipe Books


Instead of giving your guests food, give them a custom Christmas recipe book. There are many Christmas cookbooks available on the market. Another option is to make your own cookbooks using your own family Christmas recipes. Design the pages on a computer and print them off. Use scrapbook embellishments to decorate the pages of the Christmas recipe book favors.


Miniature Stockings


Miniature stockings are readily available at discount stores during the Christmas season. Purchase one for each guest and fill it with several small treats. Candy, candles and small Christmas decorations work well for the stocking favors. Decorate the stockings to give them personality. Glitter, sequins and ribbon dress up the stockings to make them more attractive.
