Easy Party Favour Ideas Parents Actually Love

Party favours don’t need to be expensive, plastic-filled, or overcomplicated to be a hit. In fact, most parents prefer simple, thoughtful party favours that kids enjoy and adults don’t secretly throw away later.
If you’re planning a kids’ birthday party and want favour ideas that are easy, affordable, and genuinely loved, this list has you covered.
🎁 What Makes a Good Party Favour?
Before diving into ideas, here’s what parents actually appreciate:
-
Simple and useful items
-
Easy to prepare in advance
-
Minimal mess or clutter
-
Thoughtful presentation
A small personalised touch often matters more than the item itself.
🍬 1. Treat Bags With a Personalised Touch
Classic for a reason.
Fill simple bags with:
-
A few lollies
-
Chocolate treats

Biscuits or popcorn
Seal each bag with a personalised thank you sticker to instantly elevate the look.

Small figurines
Pair them with a personalised sticker or tag to make them feel special without excess packaging.
