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.

🖍️ 2. Colouring Packs or Activity Sheets

Parents love favours that encourage calm play.

Include:

• A small colouring sheet

• Crayons or pencils

• Sticker sheets

These are perfect for younger kids and great for keeping little hands busy.

🧁 3. Cupcakes or Sweet Treats to Take Home

Edible favours are always a winner.

Send guests home with:

• Cupcakes

• Cake slices

• Cookies

Add a personalised sticker to the packaging for a polished, party-ready finish.

🧃 4. Personalised Drink Bottles or Labels

Drink bottles and juice boxes are practical and fun.

Add personalised labels to:

• Water bottles

• Juice boxes

This helps avoid mix-ups during the party and doubles as a take-home item kids love.

🎈 5. Small Toys (Done Simply)

If you include toys, keep them minimal:

• Bubbles

• Mini puzzles

• Small figurines

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

💌 6. Thank You Cards or Stickers Instead of Toys

Not every party favour needs to be a “thing”.

Many parents now opt for:

• Thank you cards

• Thank you stickers

• A small sweet treat

It’s a thoughtful alternative that guests genuinely appreciate.

🌈 How to Make Party Favours Look Coordinated

The easiest way to make party favours look styled is by repeating the same design.

Use matching:

• Stickers

• Cake toppers

• Invitations

This creates a cohesive party theme without buying lots of different items.
