Which favor for a 5 yr old party

[Octobermommy]

Favor #1 - handmade chocolate lollipops in cellophane wrapper with pretty ribbon and a ball ( playground size)

Favor #2 just the playground sized ball

Favor # 3 - chocolate lollipop, bubbles, small bouncy ball in treat sack

Favor # 4 just the chocolate lollipop

Boys and girls will be attending.

#2

We gave these and it was a huge hit. I figure it is longer lasting than a lollypop.

I got standard kick ball type balls for 75% off at the grocery store. They were normally $6.99.

I put them in a laundry basket and let kids pick them as they were leaving. They had characters on them (Hanna Montana, Cars, Princesses, Spiderman,...)

I gave out those balls this year so I am biased...I obviously think they are a good idea. :)

I like the ball and the lollipop- #1.

IMO, the kids won't appreciate all the work that will go into a handmade lollipop. I think you could throw a bag of fruit snacks or some other candy in the bag and the kids will be just as thrilled.

I know many posters here aren't fond of the traditional goodie bag "junk", but a bag full of those small items puts my kids in heaven.

#2 Ball

As the parent of a child with food allergies, I always like it when the favor is not food.

I just went to target and no balls. Has anyone seen them lately?

Good point about the food allergy but I did confirm no allergies already.

[SnuggleBuggles]

I bought mine at TRU. Maybe they carry them year round?

bubbles and balls are best!

DS is 5.5 and would probably prefer the ball over anything else. No need for anything else IMO :)

I think #1 or #2 are great ideas and will get used a lot.

Ball OR glow sticks in various shapes. Seriously -- we just went to a 5yo party on Sunday, with a huge loot bag and the one thing DD#1 and the other kids loved was the glow sticks.
