Party favors from the store won't compare to the following favors especially for a pirate celebration. If you want to impress your son or daughter as well as his or her friends, try these ideas for pirate party favors. With fun games, good food, lots of activities, and interesting party favors, the pirate party you host is sure to be a big hit!

Start With a Treasure Chest

When most people think of pirates, treasure chests come to mind, and a treasure chest is the perfect place to store bags of favors. You can easily make an inexpensive treasure chest to hold party favors, and the treasure chest you make will add to the party décor. For the cost of a small foam cooler, a can of spray paint, gold ribbon, a piece of black velvet or similar material, and a bag of faux jewels, you can make a treasure chest that will impress all of the pirates in attendance.

Begin by spray painting a small foam cooler with brown spray paint. After the spray paint dries, line the inside of the cooler with a piece of dark velvet or fleece, and attach it along the edges with hot glue. While the glue gun is still hot, attach wide gold ribbon along the top and bottom edges. Fill the finished treasure chest with faux jewels, flat glass marbles, and small shells. Place party favors inside the chest, and pass them out as guests arrive.

Bags of Pirate Treasure

Candy, small shells, and genuine coins are fantastic party favors for a pirate celebration. Make up bags of wrapped chocolate coins mixed in with real polished coins, seashells, and a variety of fancy polished stones. The kids will love these fun and unique party favors!

Bags of gummy candy also make great edible favors for a pirate party. Choose gummy fish, sharks, and other ocean-themed candies. Rock candy is also a good choice, and all unwrapped selections can be bagged and stored in the homemade pirate chest.
