Treats For Friends

I am often asked to offer simple ideas for small gifts that children can give their friends at the end of the school year. Debbie, of Sugar Plum Designs, put together this collection for party favors, and I thought it would also be cute for end-of-year gifts. Choose one or have a variety like Debbie did. Just remember, the younger the children the better it is to only have one option! It can be really hard for the littles to choose when everything looks equally tempting!

Debbie had Squared Party Printables design cute favor tags. This is a great way to have customized paper accessories! Shops will often customize for you and then you print as many as you need!

Offer Rock Candy sticks with a tag that reads, “Hope your summer ROCKS!” ~ or customize a candy bar wrapper to read as you like!

Give homemade cookies to wish them a fun summer. Or, a small bag of beach balls with a tag that reads, “Have a BALL this summer!”…

Candy Skewers and Push-up Pops are also novel ideas that kids love! Fill them with treats that your child enjoys and watch the excitement of his or her friends as they receive such a thoughtful way to kick-off summer! Enjoy! Thank you, Debbie!

LILLY PULITZER CAKE DECORATING FLAMINGO BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS

There is nothing like the bright colors and happy prints of Lilly Pulitzer to make every day feel like a party! For my daughter’s 12th birthday party, she wanted to decorate cakes~ Lilly-style! So, in order to decide how to mesh the two, I kept thinking “if Lilly had a cake shop instead of a juice stand”… I have to admit, this was one fun party to plan! It is a blast to see where ideas go in the hands of a TWEEN! Enjoy and remember, “…being happy never goes out of style!”.

CAMILLE’S FIESTA ~ MEXICAN THEME BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS

Celebrating your birthday with a Mexican Fiesta is a sure way to have a great time! My daughter and several of her friends had a ball with all of the bright colors and (hopefully) vivid memories of a beautiful party day full of fun! Planning all of the party ideas and details was loads of fun- although we don’t claim to have everything authentically perfect- this is our take on a party that combines Mexican birthday party ideas with a young girl’s likes and wishes! For instance, we know hedgehogs don’t hail from Mexico- but when she fell in love with a festive-looking hedgehog at a local shop, we decided the hedgehog would make a perfectly fun party favor! So read on and enjoy- and hopefully you will find an idea or two that you can use for a Mexican-themed party or even a Cinco de Mayo celebration, too- and inspiration to incorporate ideas that make your party perfectly-suited for the birthday child!
