Do you like getting favors?

I think the reason I like to give favors for any and all events I host is because I love getting them! They are either pretty or fun and always so exciting to get. Like a little present just for you! Through all the hard work and planning that went into such an event, the host/party giver remembers you the guest, with a memento from the special day!

Though favors are not mandatory, they are a nice way to add a special touch to your event!

Cherry Blossom Chopsticks - One of our favorites!

Not only are these Cherry Blossom Chopsticks beautiful but durable and very practical. They have a nice clear coating that keeps them in great shape. More useful than one might think! Of course there is the obvious, use them for eating, but I personally have used these in my hair (when my hair was longer)! They stay put every time. I have also used this chopstick to help me with a recent craft project of making fishie soap. (Will post the tutorial on that real soon.) What makes these even more attractive is the fact that they are so affordable. Click on the picture if you would like to purchase.

Easter Theme Gifts

Take a look at a few gifts and favors that go along perfectly with Easter.

“Love Ewe” - So plush and huggable, this little lamb and lovie blanket is sure to go wherever baby goes, because baby will simply love the softness of these comforting friends. A squeezable, cuddly chenille lamb—just the right size for baby’s tiny hands—smiles sweetly at the new little one. Baby can hold this little lamb in one hand and the matching 13 ½”-square lovie blanket , embroidered with “Everywhere that baby went, the lamb was sure to go” on the satin trim, in the other. This delightful gift set is machine-washable and arrives adorably packaged in a sheer, ivory organza bag with a satin-lined base, all tied with an imprinted, satin ribbon that repeats the phrase appearing on the lovie blanket. Twice the fun for baby!

Byzantine Cross Cookie Cutter - Known for their ornate features and artistry, the Byzantine-style cross dates back to the Roman era. And this time honored symbol makes the perfect addition to a First Communion, Baptism, Easter, church function or any religious occasion. Each cookie cutter favor measures 3” x ½” x 2 ½” and is made of sturdy metal. Sure to remind your guests of the special day they shared with you, each is packaged in a clear box with a colorful stained glass design background, tied with a silver elastic string and attached thank you tag. Add a centuries-old symbol of Christianity to your celebration with these Byzantine cross cookie cutter favors.

Baby Chick Salt & Pepper Shakers - Is someone “eggs-pecting?” How “eggs-citing!” Here’s an absolutely adorable favor certain to spice up any baby shower and give your guests an “eggs-ceptional gift” to take home. The “About to Hatch” Salt & Pepper Shaker is a “cracked” ceramic egg with a pale-yellow, chubby-cheeked chick—wearing the top of the egg as a hat—peeking out at the world. Salt shakes from the top of the little chick’s “hat”, while pepper sprinkles from the bottom part of the egg. Just the thing to give your shower a little something “eggs-tra!” The showcase gift box says “Grade A” on the back and “About to Hatch” on the front. Accented with a delicate organza bow and an egg-shaped “For You” tag, the gift box measures 2” x 2” x 3”, and the shaker measures 2 ¾” high x 1 ¾” in diameter.


Kitchen Egg Timer - How appropriate for the baby shower! For the mom who is about to give birth, this “About to Hatch” timer is a clever reminder that works fabulously anywhere. The egg-shaped timer twists at the bottom to countdown any interval of time from one minute to 60 minutes. Packaged in a clear round gift box, the charming timer is showcased from every side. Guests can’t help but love the charming design details, from the "Grade A" sticker near the top to the two hens guarding an egg which reads “About to Hatch” on the base. The box is then complete with a sheer white organza ribbon and tied with a matching egg-shaped gift tag reading "For You!". Approximately 3" x 3".
