LEGO Minifigure Mystery Pack

Solar Dancing Flowers
Kristy Pepping said: My daughter recently attended a party and received one of these for a party favor. These little flower pots are solar powered. They sway back and fourth when in the sun. It makes a nice addition to a bedroom window sill.
Laugh-Out-Loud Jokes for Kids

My son loved these little books of jokes for kids around 1st or 2nd grade. The best party favors from the kid who likes to make everyone laugh.
Crayola Sidewalk Chalk
Kelly R. said: Fresh boxes of sidewalk chalk are fun birthday party favors for a spring or summer party.
Pop Fidget Spinners
Lindsay Fairbrother said: Fidgets are all the rage with kids right now. I just purchased these for my daughter's birthday party next week. I was really happy with the quality when they arrived. I love how they each come in their own case. I think the kids will love these.
Melissa & Doug Water Wow! Activity Pads
Erin P. said: Little kids love doodling on these little activity pads! They are clean, easy to use and great for in the car. The best part is, they are reusable!
Squishies
Sarah Calamita said: Why is every child obsessed with these squishy, slimy little creatures? Hours of fun!
Ice Cream Gift Card
Kelly R. said: Ditch the typical goodie bag ideas and treat guests to something sweet with a gift card that will cover a cone from your child's favorite ice cream shop.
Superhero Capes and Masks
Kelly R. said: Send the little partygoers home with their very own crime fighting disguise, perfect for open-ended play. Just make sure to snap a picture of the group wearing their party favors first! The variety of colors in this set is great for allowing kids to pick their favorite.
Gazillion Bubbles
Kelly R. said: A kid can never have too many bubbles (to spill all over the driveway). Even generously-sized bottles of bubbles are still affordable enough to give as party favors for kids. This is our favorite bubble brand, with high quality suds and a multi-bubble wand that lives up to its name.
Happy Socks
Kelly R. said: I love Happy Socks for their fun patterns, loud colors, and great sales that make them quite affordable to give as kids party favors. They were a big hit with both boys and girls when I gave them out at one of my kids' birthdays.
Tutus
Brittany Kozielski said: Tutus are such fun party favor ideas for kids at princess, dance or even pop star parties. Purchasing them can be fairly inexpensive, or you can make them yourself out of tulle. You can even invite guests to make their own tutus during the party - DIY favors that double as party activities are a great, budget-friendly birthday party idea!
Flashlights
Kelly R. said: Hand mini flashlights out for a sleepover or outdoor movie night party and the kids can use them right away! We bought this multi-pack of LED flashlights...the colors are great and they are really inexpensive birthday party favors for kids.
Water Blasters
Kelly R. said: These blasters are tons of fun as water toys in the summer, and are some of the best party favors for kids after a pool party!
Maze Books
Kelly R. said: Maze and activity books are good kids party favors that are not junk! This will let them enjoy some quiet time after they get home, and come in all sorts of options to go along with your party theme.
