The Host With The Most! The Best Party Favors For Adults


There is always a reason to throw a party. With summer well on its way, perfect party weather is within reach. While party favors are typically associated with kids' parties or significant events, any gathering, whether old friends or new, is the perfect excuse to send your guests home with affordable and memorable gifts.

Whether you choose adorable mini house plants, personalized trinket boxes, or an affordable quality vape pen as a gift, sending your guests home with a unique and thoughtful party favor will leave a lasting impression well after your evening is over.


Trinket Boxes

Trinket boxes are charming keepsakes that can be kept and used for years to come. Select from long-lasting ceramic vases or dainty porcelain boxes, which are incredibly versatile and make for whimsical decor pieces for your guest’s home.

If your budget is limited or you would prefer to avoid spending more money on favors than you would like, keep these beautiful pieces for smaller, more intimate gatherings with your closest friends and family.

Succulents

Treat your plant-loving guests to beautiful party favors that will live on well past the day has come and gone. Succulents come in a variety of unique species, require little to no maintenance, and can be adorned with rustic burlap sacks and a customized tag to mark the special occasion.

For a more unique option, consider switching out succulents for mini cacti plants. Like succulents, you can choose from a range of different shapes and sizes, with many species blooming one or two beautiful flowers annually.
 

Custom Matchboxes

Custom matchboxes are the perfect party favors for many occasions. With so many vendors offering endless customization possibilities, you can create the perfect party memento that can be used well after your event has ended.

Choose beautiful vintage designs ideal for displaying in your home, or mark the occasion with a memorable design or image that perfectly captures your evening together. The options are truly endless.

Reusable Drink Pouches

XO Fetti is well-known for making fun and creative party favors, including practical drinking pouches. Designed to hold 15 ounces of liquid, these reusable pouches can showcase funny sayings or graphics to reflect the theme of your party.

Each comes with a twirly straw and can easily be rinsed and reused as many times as your guest wants or needs. Furthermore, with no glass or open drinks in sight, there is no risk of broken glass and drink spills throughout the night.


Wood-Wick Candles

Candles are a classic party favor, but elevate your game by opting for wood-wick candles, which carry a rustic and regal nature, offering a more soothing experience compared to a traditional candle.

With its gentle cracking and beautiful aroma as it burns, it is a treat for the senses. Candle scents can be a somewhat divisive topic, so it is best to avoid dominating and powerful scents, instead choosing soft floral aromas or earthy wooded scents.
 

Hangover Kits

For those occasions when you anticipate your guests might indulge a bit too much, consider small hangover kits as a humorous yet practical party favor. These kits, containing a bottle of water, a hydration sachet, antacid, gum, and two painkillers, will surely be a welcome sight for your friends the morning after, helping them beat that dreaded morning headache.

Ensure you check in advance whether any of your guests have allergies or sensitivities to any type of medication, as this will need to be factored into your painkiller selection. The safest choice is typically a popular, over-the-counter option like Advil or paracetamol.

Bottle Openers

Bottle openers are another classic party favor to send home with your guests. However, inject a sense of whimsy and fun into your gift by selecting a range of unusual options more suitable to your overall theme or the atmosphere of the event.

Gone are the days when you could only choose from the standard silver opener. Instead, opt for funny objects, including cowboy boots, a playing card, pieces of food, and other silly items you will never typically associate with drinking.

Cocktail Mixers

Although cocktail bomb mixers may seem like a go-to option for your booze-loving friends, they are the ideal choice for drinkers and non-drinkers. They may look more suited for a relaxing bath in the evening, but these clever drink bombs simply need a liquid of choice to get started.

Your guests can select their favorite alcohol to get the drink fizzing, while non-drinkers simply need to add seltzer water or lemonade to mix a refreshing drink instantly. Available in eight flavors, there is a tasty option for everyone.


Customized Socks

While everyone needs socks, when it comes to party favors, it's an opportunity to inject some fun and creativity. Instead of the usual white athletic socks, why not opt for something more exciting? Customizable socks offer a unique way to add a personal touch to your party favors, making them a memorable and fun gift for your guests.

Select a range of bright and bold socks with vibrant colors and funky patterns for your guests to choose from. If you are celebrating a special event and have the money to splurge, go a step further and customize the socks to reflect the memorable occasion.
