How to Make or Find Fun Birthday Party Favors Without Spending a Lot of Money

Toddlers, tweens, teens, adults, seniors ... everyone has birthdays and throwing a birthday party can be great fun for everyone! So why not give out birthday party favors that are just as much fun and memorable as the party was!

I've given and received the following birthday party favors and thought I would share in case you're giving someone a birthday party and need some fun, unique, and inexpensive birthday party favor ideas. Remember ... cheap party favors don't have to look cheap!

Starting now, begin to save all of the freebie items you get in the mail and at seminars, malls, etc. You know what I'm talking about ... the free makeup samples, perfume samples, lotion samples, "gimme" t-shirts, caps, pens, that have advertising for some random company. These freebie items make great grab bag birthday party favors!

Birthday Party Favors for all genders and ages (except very young children)
Everyone treasures photos! Have all of the birthday party attendees bring some of their favorite photos of themselves with the birthday "boy or girl". You can also take some snapshots with a Polaroid camera during the party, or digital camera and makes prints if you want to spend the time and money to do so. Then, as a party activity, you can give everyone a small 2-3 page scrapbook and they can make a photo collage to take home with them as a party favor! You can keep the scrapbooks simple with just paper and glue, or go all out with stencils, glitter, yarn, or whatever your imagination can think of and your pocketbook can handle.

Birthday Party Favors for Toddlers and Young Children
Young children are the easiest to please when it comes to birthday party favors! They're happy with a lollipop, a jar of bubbles, packet of crayons, or a bouncing ball. Little boys especially seem to like the bouncing balls! All of these things can be purchased at a very reasonable price, so your pocketbook isn't hurting and the kids are happy with their party favor.
