Non Junky Party Favors

Five Below. Basically anything from there. Squishmallow or fuzzy journal with gel pens/fun marker would be my suggestion.

Mad Libs.

Anything that is within a $5 limit will be junk.

If someone gave my seven-year-old a box of macarons I would burst out laughing. What?!?!

Bubbles and chalk are fun for toddlers.

We did candy kabobs like this one from Etsy for both my 11 and 6 bday favors.

I don’t know if you consider this junk but my 8 y/o got a favor or a pic frame with a note saying picture to come.
The host took a pic at the party and about a week or so later, with the thank you came a nice pic from the party.
I might steal the idea except this girl will be invited so I’ll have to think about it

Costco had a 13 pack of Squishmallow lip balm pots today for $12. They were super cute. My kid would go nuts for them.

Also flashlights from the front end cap at Lowe’s in these pink, purple and blue. They were a hit with that age oddly.

This!

Food is always a win for us. I don't love junk food for the kids, but it's a party and I prefer it to plastic/junk.

My DS6 really love a Who Would Win book he got as a party favor. They are about $5 each (for certain versions)

What did OP suggest that wasn't? Are gel pens only for girls?
