How to Choose the Best Budget Birthday Party Favors…Ever

Have a birthday coming up? Worried about all the money that you’ll have to shell out on decorations, cake, food, and…party favors?

Well, let’s help you out with the last bit and share how to get beautiful, budget party favors that the kids will love:
1. DIY Party Favors for a Handmade Birthday

Right on top of the list is the DIY party favors. They’re unique, they’re fun, they can be personalized and best of all, they don’t cost a bomb.

What can you make that kids would love to take home with them?

Personalized cupcakes? A fun,  hand-painted t-shirt or photo frame? You can just buy plain ones in bulk and embellish them with a bit of fabric or ceramic paint. Need some more DIY birthday favor ideas? Check out this post on Modern Mom.

2. An Experience Party Favor

Experiences make great party favors that the kids can enjoy long after a party is over. Can you get a good deal on tickets to the zoo? Or maybe to the museum? Or a day pass to an entertainment park? Look for unusual but fun options and ask about discounts for bulk purchases. You’ll save money and the kids would have a fun place to visit after the birthday party is over. Win!

3. A Make-It-Yourself Birthday Return Gift

This is a spin on the DIY party favor. Here, let the kids decorate or make their own return gifts. For instance, you bake the cookies, provide the icings and decorations and let the kids decorate their own cookies and take them home! Package the cookies attractively and you have a great party favor in a limited budget.

You can do the same with ceramic mugs, photo frames or even, t-shirts.

4. Party Favors Made by Mom Entrepreneurs 


Finally, and this is our favorite, our birthday party favors made by mom entrepreneurs, like ourselves. Here are some great options to choose from:

5 Reasons Why Handmade Soap is the Best Stocking Stuffer Idea

It’s the holiday season and while I’m sure you’re busy ticking off errands and must-dos off your holiday chore list, I’d love for you to get your stocking stuffers for kids too.

Why?

Because we generally forget about stocking stuffers until its too late and then, we end up buying stuff that really no kid needs. Think candy. Yes, I know. We’ve all been there and done that.

So, this year, let’s re-launch the Wett Giggles blog and talk about why natural, handmade soap is a fantastic stocking stuffer for kids of all ages:

1.Encourage Clean Hands in a Fun Way

One of the best parts about choosing a Wett Giggles soap as a stocking stuffer is that you’ll never have to worry about grimy hands and nails. These cute animal- or planet-shaped soaps will win over kids instantly and have them actually rushing to wash their hands.

The manicure brush ensures that nails too are clean and germ-free. A mother’s dream come true!

2.An Affordable Stocking Stuffer

Stocking stuffers should be super-affordable and your Wett Giggles soaps cost just $10 which makes them a steal, considering they are a toy-soap-manicure brush, all-in-one cute, little sudsy bundle.

Plus, to make these even more affordable, we’re giving you a cool 20% discount on all orders. So, yay!

3.Natural, Safe and Totally Mom-Made

You know how you cringe each time you buy a soap that has ingredients you can’t even pronounce let alone know about? Yes, Wett Giggles mom, Karen St.Clair too felt the same way. That is why, each soap is made of all-natural ingredients that you know and love. Think shea butter, natural glycerin, essential oils.

Also, each soap is carefully made by hand and yes, with lots of love.

4.Unusual and Unique Soaps

These fun, natural and handmade soaps are a great option when you need variety. With 9 animal soaps and 3 planet soaps,  you have plenty of choice. Depending upon a child’ s favorite animal, planet or even, color, you can get a handmade soap to brighten up their bathrooms.

Meet all the Wett Giggles soapy animal characters  and planets too.

5.A Range of Soapy Options

Want the soap but not the brush? Okay. Want the toy but not the soap? That’s fine too. We want to make sure that you get a stocking stuffer that your kids would love and enjoy, and so offer a range of options for you to choose from.

So, head over to Wett Giggles and get your cute, natural, handmade childrens’ soaps NOW!
