Low Cost Favor Box Ideas
 Shantelle Palmentiero
Party favor boxes can be found anywhere online, but during these tough economic times the added cost of paying for these boxes for each favor purchased may not always be in everyone's budget. As an alternative, everyday household items that are normally thrown away can easily be dressed up with spray paint or gift wrap as fun gift boxes.
Square tissue boxes are sturdy enough to be spray-painted or gift-wrapped and present a decent size box to gift small items. The gift can be wrapped and secured with tissue paper when placed inside. Some tissue boxes come in such decorative print that they may not need to be covered at all.
Many small tea boxes have a hinge feature so that they could be used for a great candy favor box. Flavored tea boxes come in many different colors and could be used in combination as favor boxes for a beautiful garden party or maybe even a tea party!
Mini cereal boxes make fantastic favor boxes. They could easily hold small birthday party favors for children. Placing the toys in different mini cereal boxes make it fun for kids to pick their favorite cereal and discover the prize inside.
An animal crackers box is versatile since it already comes with its own string handle. Wrap it with some brown craft paper and draw a few lines to make it look like a tiny suitcase. Fill each with mini travel items and it becomes a fun favor box for a destination wedding or bon voyage party.
Ultimately, gift boxes made from household items are a great way to reuse containers that would otherwise be thrown away. With a little creativity, these favor box ideas could easily fit any themed party and the low cost helps to stay within a party budget.
