Party favors need to cut fast and cheap, since you're usually producing one per guest rather than a single gift. This list covers both themed kids'-party favors and general-purpose favor boxes that work across almost any party theme.
Below are 16 real, downloadable designs from the Atomm community for party favors, split between kids'-party-specific items and general favor boxes.
- All 16 designs below are real, currently published Atomm projects — not mockups.
- This is a smaller, focused list; party favors are a low-material, batch-cut category rather than a deep, individually-varied one.
- Several favor box designs are general-purpose and can be adapted to almost any party theme rather than one specific occasion.
Kids' Party Favors
Themed favors built for a specific fandom or activity, useful for labeling seats or handing out at a kids' birthday party.
1. Pokémon Poké Ball Party Favor
- Type: Keepsake
A Poké Ball-shaped design suited to a Pokémon-themed birthday party, giving young guests a recognizable fandom favor rather than a generic party trinket.
2. Paw Patrol Character Name Tags
- Type: Name Tag
Bone-shaped name tags featuring Paw Patrol characters, useful for labeling seats, goody bags, or place settings at a Paw Patrol-themed kids' party.
3. Cartoon Monster Necklace Charms Garland
- Type: Necklace
- Material: Wood
A set of cartoon monster-shaped necklace charms, giving young party guests a wearable favor rather than a small toy or candy item they might lose track of.
4. Musical Instrument Cutouts for Party Favors
- Type: Cutout
Cutout shapes of microphones, maracas, guitars, and keyboards, built specifically for party favors and music-themed play. It suits a music- or rockstar-themed birthday party.
Party Favor Boxes
General-purpose small boxes for holding a party favor, in a range of shapes and opening styles.
5. Pink Heart Decorative Gift Box
- Type: Box
A heart-shaped decorative box in pink, useful as a party favor container for a smaller item like candy or a trinket rather than wrapping paper.
6. Heart Cube Papercut Box
- Type: Box
A cube-shaped box built from a papercut technique rather than a solid board material, giving a party favor box a lighter, craft-paper aesthetic.
7. 3D Stackable Wooden Favor Box
- Type: Box
- Material: Wood
A stackable wooden box explicitly built as a favor box, with a decorative pattern cut into the sides. Its stackable design makes storing multiple favor boxes before a party easier than with uniquely-shaped alternatives.
8. Treat Box with Heart Cutout
- Type: Box
A treat box featuring a heart-shaped cutout window, letting a small candy or trinket favor be partially visible before it's opened rather than fully hidden inside.
9. 3D Wooden Box with Flip-Up Lid
- Type: Box
- Material: Wood
A decorative wooden box with a flip-up lid, giving a party favor a more mechanically interesting opening than a simple lift-off top.
10. 3D Wrapping Gift Box, Boho Style
- Type: Box
- Material: Wood
A rustic, boho-styled wooden gift box, useful either as an individual party favor container or as general-purpose wrapping for a small present.
More Party Favor Boxes & Bags
A few additional container styles for holding a favor, including holiday-specific boxes for Halloween, Easter, St. Patrick's Day, and birthdays, plus a couple of simple bag options for when a rigid box isn't necessary.
11. Coffin Candy Box
- Type: Box
A coffin-shaped box sized for holding Halloween candy or small trinkets, cut as an SVG file. It works as a spookier take-home favor for a Halloween party than a plain paper treat bag, and doubles as a tabletop decoration before guests carry it home.
12. Mini Present Bunny Box
- Type: Box
A small bunny-shaped box sized to hold a single wrapped candy or trinket, closer in scale to an Easter basket filler than a standard gift box. It suits a spring or Easter-themed kids' party, where a rigid box can double as part of the table setting.
13. St. Patrick's Day Treat Box
- Type: Box
A treat box built around a St. Patrick's Day theme, sized to hold candy or small trinkets for a shamrock-themed party. It gives guests a holiday-specific favor container instead of a plain green box, and suits classroom parties as well as adult St. Patrick's Day gatherings.
14. Wooden Birthday Surprise Box
- Type: Box
- Material: Wood
A wooden surprise box cut from 3mm material and built around a birthday theme rather than a generic occasion. It works as a favor container for a birthday party where the box itself is meant to double as part of the party decor, not just packaging.
15. Shamrock Drink Stirrer Favor Bag
- Type: Drink Stirrer Set
- Material: Burlap
A set of shamrock-shaped drink stirrers packaged in a small burlap gift bag, giving a St. Patrick's Day party a favor guests can use right away rather than store on a shelf. It suits an adult party or happy-hour gathering more than a kids' event.
16. Custom Engraved Gift Bag
- Type: Gift Bag
A template for engraving a custom design or name directly onto a gift bag rather than using a plain or printed one. It works as a personalized party favor bag for any theme, since the engraved pattern can be swapped per guest or per party.
Final Thoughts
Since favors are usually cut once per guest, pick a design that's quick to produce in batches and matches the party's theme closely enough to feel intentional rather than generic.
Frequently Asked Questions about Party Favors
What makes a good party favor?
A good party favor is quick and cheap to produce in bulk, since you're typically making one per guest rather than a single item. Tying it to the party's specific theme, even loosely, tends to make it feel more considered than a generic trinket.
How many party favors should I plan for?
Plan for one per guest at minimum, plus a small buffer for unexpected attendees. For a themed kids' party, matching the favor to the theme (like a Pokémon or music-themed cutout) is more common than a single one-size-fits-all item.
Should I make party favors myself instead of buying them?
Making party favors yourself is a practical way to keep costs down when you need many identical or near-identical items, since a single laser-cut design can be batch-produced quickly. It's a common middle ground between a fully custom favor and a generic store-bought one.
Where can I get personalized or themed party favors?
Party supply stores, print-on-demand sites, and marketplaces like Etsy all carry themed party favors. Laser cutting communities such as Atomm are another source, where makers share free, ready-to-cut designs you can produce yourself or have made locally, often more cheaply per unit for large guest counts.
Is a wooden favor box better than a paper one?
It depends on your budget and timeline. Paper or papercut boxes are faster and cheaper to produce in bulk, while a wooden box costs more time and material but gives a more durable, reusable favor that guests are more likely to keep.
