The Best Kids Party Favors 2025

When it comes to planning a memorable kids birthday party in 2025, it’s all about fun, functional, and simple party favors. Gone are the days of throwaway trinkets—today’s parents and kids love favors they’ll actually use (and love). Here are some of the best party favor ideas I’ve seen at my indoor playground in Morgantown, WV this year:

1. Mini Craft Kits 🖍️

Let creativity go home with the guests! Think bracelet-making kits, DIY slime jars, or mini ‘paint with water’ sets. These favors double as activities and encourage screen-free fun. These fun crafts don’t have to break the bank – you can get sets of books on Amazon for less than $2 per book!

2. Eco-Friendly Favors 🌱

Think seed packets or a small plant, reusable tote bags, or wooden toys. Parents will appreciate the sustainable approach, and kids love favors they can plant, paint, or reuse.

3. Healthy snacks 🎈

Sometimes, leaving a birthday party is hard. Having a healthy “car snack” to offer can make it easier to get your little one out the door. Remember, kids likely just ate something at the party, so a small snack will be more than enough! Think - fresh fruit, freeze dried fruit, yogurt covered raisins, etc. Not only do kids always love a snack, but parents love that this won’t add to an accumulation of throw-away trinket toys.

Party Favor Tip:

Regardless of if it’s a first birthday, toddler party, or school-aged party, keep it simple, thoughtful, and fun. One great item often has more impact than a bag full of random plastic toys.

Whether you're planning a themed bash or just a backyard celebration, these kid and parent-approved party favors will make your party guests smile long after the cake is gone. 🎂💫
