Little boys that is! They deserve to have a fun, boy themed party take away too. Whether you’re hoping to keep small hands busy, or just want to give a big thanks for coming to the party, we’ve got a cute idea for you.
Bulldozers, band-aids and scary dinosaurs are packaged up in our cardboard berry basket. Not only is it super sweet, it’s got a handle for easy carrying. Here’s a hint…to get the handles to stand perfectly upright, just use a hairdryer to heat them up a bit so you can shape them into place.

We have lots of fun thinking of different ways you can use Garnish. We try to think “outside the box” and show that a berry basket just isn’t for berries, or our No Soup For You container just isn’t for soup! Today we have parties on the brain….
It’s hard to come up with new ideas for party favors, especially for the kiddos. While browsing the dollar bin at Target, we were struck with some fun ideas. How about sand toys? Target has some great colors, and they are only 99 cents each! So much better than candy, right? The perfect tote for these goodies is our two for the road drink carrier (see…it’s not just for drinks!) We added a tag that we printed off on the computer, some bubbles wrapped in patterned paper, and this favor is ready for the taking.
What do you like to give out as favors at your parties? Do you have a go to idea that you want to share? Tell us how you Garnish…we’d love to hear!

Do you have a birthday party, shower, pot luck or picnic on the horizon? Why not have some fun with confetti!
We glued some confetti onto our glassine bags and used them as cutlery pouches. So cute, right? Or what about sending some favors home in our burlap bags, decked out in confetti of course. We didn’t use any special tools here…just a hole punch to make our confetti and a glue stick to attach them. This is a perfect project for the kiddos to get involved in. So go ahead…have some fun with confetti!

Are you looking for a quick and easy idea for your next get together? We’ve got an answer! What about sending everyone home with your favorite snack.
In this case, we’ve got some pistachios packaged up in our Hip 2B Square geometric dish. Maybe you make a delish pretzel mix or trail mix. Or what about some roasted pumpkin seeds…perfect for this time of year. Whatever it is, your guests will appreciate the gesture (or even your kids for a weekend afternoon)!
What’s your favorite fall snack mix?

We received an email from Cynthia showing us how she Garnish-ed her daughter’s first birthday party. Cynthia used our small ripple cups for some “dirt” and our glassine bags for her cutlery pouches. What a great idea!
Thanks so much for sharing with us Cynthia. We are thrilled that Garnish played a part in such a big celebration!
Show us how you Garnish…drop us a line at info@thinkgarnish.com. We love seeing your ideas and often find ourselves thinking “why didn’t we think of that!”

We will admit, this is not our idea. We’ve seen a few of these types of favors floating around Pinterest and the internet. We think it’s a fantastic idea for a baby shower favor, so we decided to put our Garnish spin on it. If the mommy-to-be knows if she’s having a boy or a girl you can choose the appropriate color of nail polish for your favors. If she doesn’t, then you can put out a selection of both, maybe with a question mark on the label.
We used our small acetate boxes for this idea. They are the perfect size for a bottle of nail polish and some nail polish remover wipes (easily found at CVS or Target). We, of course, filled ours with some candy! Add some ribbon and a round label, and you’ve got yourself a super fun giveaway! Some other ideas might be to tie a nail file of top, or to add some of those solid colored M&M’s. If you are looking for some gender neutral colors of nail polish…what about a selection of gray (super in right now) and orange or even brown. Either way, we’re sure you will “nail” it! (sorry, that was cheesy….but we couldn’t help ourselves)

We are always on the lookout for unique favor ideas, whether it’s for a wedding, birthday or shower. This time, we’re thinking weddings, and we’re thinking it’s about time you went home with something you can actually use!
Everyone loves coffee, and it makes a unique and inexpensive favor. And, of course, it looks fab in our tie top bags, labelled with one of our scalloped stickers. “The Perfect Blend” is just thing to celebrate the happy couple!

Sometimes going simple is best. We were digging through our stamp stash and found this “thank you” stamp we’ve had for years (we purchased this at Paper Source. They no longer stock this one on their website, but they do have similar ones).
This simple stamp on our kraft rectangle box, makes such a chic statement for a party favor. We added some of our brown and white twine to finish it off. There are so many fun stamps available, and they are the perfect way to personalize any of our Garnish products.

There is nothing better than a nice cool bottle of lemonade. And spreading the sunshine is so much easier when you have some Garnish 8oz bottles on hand. Just add some handy drink packets…don’t forget a straw.
This is a great idea for any kind of party. Spread the love, spread the sunshine….all it takes is a little Garnish!
