Family Holiday Party .. favor IDEA

t2mofok

Since I've been born my grandparents always had a huge Christmas party that my whole family loved and enjoyed.  They died about 3 years apart and since then the parties had ceased. I would like to restart that tradition again this year and have a party.   I was looking for some sort of favor that I could make to hand out to each family.  Please help with any ideas   TIA

Are you semi-crafty?

You could get one of those bead ornament craft kit sets and make one for everyone.

I love the ornament idea- maybe even assemble them at the party as a family? 

Other thoughts would be layered holiday cookie mixes in mason jars (like these), or bake cookies and give everyone either a tin for families or small bags for individuals.

I would give everyone a framed picture of your grandparents.

 

Or, make cookies or a dessert your grandma was known for and individually wrap that for everyone, if possible.

 

Or make a recipe book of Grandma's favorite recipes, or recipes she would make for your family get togethers.

When we host Christmas, we always put a basket under the tree filled with individually wrapped ornaments (we spend @ $1 each) & everyone takes one.(you could also put them on the table at their place settings to open at dinner)  We theme it each year -- 1 year was santas, 1 year was snowmen, etc.
