My favorite things to get as favors are something edible.

For my cousins bridal shower, I got plastic "clamshell" boxes from the candy supply store and filled them with mini black and white cookies and madeline cookies from Costco and put two lindt truffles in it. They were a big hit

Re: What's the best favor you ever received?

I did a Donation Favor. I donated to my favorite charity (American Diabetes Assoc). I made a donation in every guests name. I put a Favor card on every place setting. Everyone thought it was a great idea. The money spent on favors that are going to collect dust or be eaten in minutes can be put to a better use at a Charity. JMHO.

I don't remember if it was for a bridal or baby shower but I got a little terra cotta pot and flower seeds.

For my Bridal Shower, my mom and sister gave out little pocket mirrors.

For the Wedding, we gave out espresso cups.

African violets or an ice cream scooper.

eta. I also like ornaments because when I put them up every year, I think about the person.

Re: What's the best favor you ever received?

I have 2 favs. We got Espresso cups at DH cousin's wedding 2 years ago and I still use them even after I got the ones I registered for.
And my best friend gave out these Italian Platters. It is a great serving piece!

I made hand-painted wine glasses- a pair per couple as well as a pair per single. I didn't think it would be fair for all of my single friends to end up w/ 1 glass!
That's actually how my business started... I got a bunch of orders from my own favors...

Re: What's the best favor you ever received?

i'm not into knick-knacks either

i love donation favors. i think they mean the most because they are usually in memory of someone or supporting someone who is sick.

food is good too--like chocolate

I did a donation as well, and I wrote a poem about the different places the donations were going (my cousins memorial fund, my best friends memorial fund and my father in laws memorial fund)

Re: What's the best favor you ever received?

I did coasters and everywhere I go (I mean to people's house or apartments that were at my wedding) they are using them so it makes me feel good :)

I feel that it was a useful favor!
