I'm working on party favors for my DD's 7th birthday. I hate junky stuff, but also want to stay under $5. Anyone have any great suggestions? Please don't say no favors. The little girls in our area are really into them.
-$5 gift cards to ChikFilA or an ice cream shop (any other ideas for $5 gift cards?) -Nice chapsticks -Those TY beanie boos with big eyes. -some sort of arts and crafts kit like a make your own bracelet -nail polish -books (this is what I've done in the past. Like a Junie B Jones goes to 1st grade. But now I'm stumped on books that they wouldn't already have) |

| nailpolish, chapstick and maybe temp tattoos would be great for my DD. All the rest feels really hit or miss. A beanie baby would end up probably in the garbage. |

| Gift cards are hard and also may end up in the garbage. The kids or parents may not like the place, or a family member may have food allergies that makes scheduling time to go difficult. |

OP here- love the idea of gel pens! |

If the girls are into favors, they don't want gift cards. Some people object to ChikFilA so if you're going to do GC, I'd go with ice cream.
if you're thinking sweets then a custom cookie is fun. You could also buy a divided plastic box and fill with different candy https://www.michaels.com/product/john-bead-176cm-joy-filled-plastic-box-storage-with-15-compartments-D683676S |

Good suggestions so far. My kid has really enjoyed piggy paint favors and is obsessed with this pencil she got at someone's party:

| Just know that it is really all really junk. It is about finding junk that at least some of the kids will use/enjoy. |

My kid would love the beanie baby and trash the rest. |

| When DD was 9, I did a Redwall-themed party and the kids received a book from the Redwall series, bought on eBay in bulk. The hope was that the party's activities would inspire the kids to at least try the book. DD loved the entire series. |
