One way to wrap your treats is to place them in a clear plastic cello bag and place them inside a personalized, decorative favor bag. Solid paper bags are a great option for including ANY type of favor, whether or not it is related to the holidays.
Available in a number of colors and designs, socks make a useful and unique gift. Each set will become a comfortable gift that can be used repeatedly. Guests will be able to use them through the cold months of the year and will remember your party every time they put them on.
You can choose these in holiday scents, such as cinnamon spice, evergreen, or peppermint. They can also come decorated for Christmas, such as those that are in a small tin, or ordered in holiday shapes including snowmen, snowflakes, angels, or trees. You may even want to display a few of the candles at your own party and have them lit when guests enter.
