When I was 14, I received a small, beaded journal from a friend’s birthday party and thought I’d never seen anything so beautiful. Believe it or not, I’ve held onto that journal and when I look at it now, I’m transported back to that fun day with friends. Suffice it to say, I’m the Merriam Webster’s textbook definition of a sentimentalist, and when I leave a party with a favor in hand, I tend to hang onto it. Such a lovely token of appreciation from the hostess, the ultimate party favors are both creative and commemorative, and be it in the form of sweet treats or packaging that’s a gift in itself, there’s no time like summer to get playful and seasonal with gift-giving for your guests. Click through for some of our favorites, and be sure to share links for any fabulous summer favors you’ve seen around the web!

I would love receiving any of those favors, but the lilac sugar would stick in my memory for along time. i think I would have to create a special drink right away!
Agreed – that one is SO pretty and would be so lovely for a bridal or baby shower!
These are all amazing. The honey one is my favorite I think 🙂
What is the little cute wood thing next to the honey?
The fiesta fringe boxes are adorable! As a born and raised Texan (now New Yorker) these are making me homesick! (I grew up right on the border).
I know, they are so colorful and festive! Definitely wanting to steal that one… 😉
I think that homemade jam is the perfect gift! Beautiful, useful and tasty!
oooh the lilac sugar is something i’ve been dying to make for ages, also lavender sugar would be gorgeous too!
I went to a wedding last year were they gave out homemade jam as the favor. What a wonderful and tasty idea!
Here are some more infused sugar ideas that I have seen recently as well!
