Are you looking for some great party favors for your 4th of July party? How about making some of your own! Your friends and family will love the thoughtfulness and effort that you put in to make sure they had a great 4th of July celebration.
When creating your party favors make sure to make them age appropriate for your guests. You don't want to give a young child a gift that made for older children, just like the older guests won't want items made with little kids in mind.
Sparklers:
Sparklers can be great for older children. Take 5-6 sparklers and tie them together with red, white and blue ribbons. Put all of the little sets together in a box to hand out to the kids in attendance, or add them to individual party bags.
American Flags:
A very popular item to include is small American flags. You can find these anywhere party supplies are sold and are very inexpensive. Attach personalized "Thank You" notes to the little flag pole. This is a nice, welcoming touch, that will last long after the party is over.
Glow Sticks or Necklaces:
This is a great idea for younger kids. These come in a wide range of colors that really help to light up your party after dark. Just put them in a box and hand them out to all kids at dusk.
Candies in USA Colors:
M&M's make a quick, inexpensive party favor that is guaranteed to be a hit with everyone! Separate the red, white and blue colors, wrap them in cellophane with a ribbon and your done. Add these to party gift bags for a sweet surprise.
"Fun in the Sun" Gift Pack
4th of July can be a very hot and sunny day! Make it easier for your party attendees by giving them a Fun in the Sun gift pack. Using little mesh or drawstring bags, add items such as sunscreen, SPF chapstick, flip-flops or plastic sunglasses. Personalize each bag by writing the recipients name on the bag or a card.
"Summer Honey" Gift Pack
This sweet little gift will be a big hit with your friends! Find a local honey dealer and buy small jars of honey. Add some festive ribbons and attach a personalize card to each one. If possible, ask about buying larger amounts of honey then repackage it to the jars of your choice.
"Grill Mate" Gift Pack
Nothing says 4th of July like a big BBQ! Get small bottles of your favorite bbq sauces, spices and rubs together and put a few into a small bag for your guests. Add a card with your favorite recipe to each one. Personalize them by making each bag a little bit different for each guest.
"Bug Off" Gift Pack
Bugs are annoying little pests that can ruin any good party in no time. Making favor packs with bug repelling items help your guest to only enjoy your party, but other outside activities throughout the summer. Add a small can of your preferred repellent and small citronella candles in a small bag. Personalize them by adding tags with the guests names and ribbons.
"Lazy Dayz" Gift Pack
Who doesn't love spending a gorgeous summer day just laying around enjoying the sunshine? Find a good deal on beach towels, add a pair of sunglasses, and small bottle of sunscreen. Package them together with a strip of an old towel with a personalized tag for each guest. Then everyone will be ready to lounge by the pool!
