This is such a fun and cute low cost - or no cost - party favour idea they will love! Mug cakes are the perfect easy comforting dessert they will be able to make on a whim.

These are adorable and perfect for party favours of all ages! You could even DIY some chocolate covered marshmallows as party favours, the perfect winter treat!
19. DIY some chocolate covered Oreos for party favours
These make such cute, easy and low cost party favours and look amazing too! To make these, try melting some batches of white cooking chocolate and mix in a tiny amount of food colouring to each, before encasing them in chocolate in a special tray - layer some chocolate in each of the moulds before gently pressing an Oreo in to each, then carefully cover it with a little more chocolate until the Oreo is completely submerged, then smooth over the top and pop in the fridge to set, once each mould is filled.
You could alternate colours for a colourful selection or even create a cool ombre effect! Another method is to dip half your Oreo cookie in to the chocolate, then let it set and then do the same with the other half. Repeat with your desired number of oreos before whipping up another bowl of melted chocolate in a different colour and doing the same using that batch. These would make amazing prizes or party favours!

21. Make some fall themed candy bark
Make some super cool candy bark/chocolate slab and add some fall themed candy pieces! This is super easy to make and requires no baking and all you will need is some cooking chocolate or melting chocolate (milk chocolate or white chocolate is fine) and your desired sweets or candy pieces.
You could even change the colour of your candy bark by melting down some white cooking chocolate and stirring in a few very small drops of food colouring. All you need to then is pour in to a mold and decorate with all the cutest sweets and candy of choice, with a sprinkle of edible shimmer or glitter!
Then pop in the fridge to set and break in to pieces when cool, to arrange in a pretty bag and tie with a ribbon! There's so many ways to get creative with this and you could add a sprinkle of freeze dried raspberries or incorporate a swirl of melted milk chocolate to create a pretty pattern. Sprinkle in some jelly sweets and add some popping candy, a must have ingredient, to finish, before setting it to cool!
22. Set up an obstacle course
Why not make a fun obstacle course, using cushions to jump on and objects to balance on, painted cardboard boxes to dodge, or even a climbing wall if you have one! If anyone lands outside of the course, they have to start again at the beginning. Just be sure to make it nice and safe for guests of all ages! You could implement activities such as throw the beanbag in the hoop and dodge cones as part of the obstacle course!
23. DIY some ghostly slime for party favours
This is such a fun sensory gift idea for younger kids that is also low cost and easy to DIY! To make some playdough, you only need a few ingredients from your cupboard or pantry! We love this playdough tutorial here.
To make slime, you will need 100ml PVA white glue (children’s craft glue or CE marked glue), ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda gel food colouring,1 tsp contact lens cleaning solution and some glitter/beads/decorations. A small blob of shaving foam is optional but makes for extra fluffy slime!
1. Squeeze the glue into a mixing bowl (look for a bottle in a 100ml size if possible so you won’t have to measure it out). Add the bicarbonate of soda and mix well.
2. Add a drop or two of your chosen gel food colouring. Less colouring gives a pastel colour; the more you add, the brighter the colour. Mix until well incorporated.
3. Add the contact lens solution and mix. The slime will begin to form, going stringy before coming away clean from the bowl into a ball.
4. Once it has formed, take it out and knead it with your hands. It will be sticky at first but after about 30 seconds you’ll have a smooth and pliable ball. Add glitter at this point, if desired, and work in with your hands. Store in a pot with a lid.
Tip! For gloopier slime, try adding less than 1 tsp contact lens solution, mixing it in drop by drop until it just goes stringy and begins to come away from the bowl. Then knead.
24. Set up a pretzel stall
With all the toppings available!
25. DIY some popcorn parcels for party favours
Make this by using a few drops of food colouring along with corn syrup and butter (follow this recipe here!) Guests of all ages will adore the novelty and you could even add some mini marshmallows to make it extra magical! You could print some super cute party tags and attach to each parcel - voila, super cute and cheap party favours!

28. A rustic blackboard setup/photo memory wall
So all guests can write, draw and scribble their own messages on it! You could set up a giant rustic style chalkboard canvas that guests can decorate, with photos, drawings and messages! This would make an amazing photo backdrop for the party, for guests to take photos in front of. To create the canvas backdrop for guests to decorate, grab some black paper or cardstock and staple it to a base, such as a wall, fence or giant board made from cardboard. Provide guests with some chalks and liquid chalk markers and let them decorate to their hearts content.

You could choose any surprise center to hide inside the winning cupcake, just be sure there is nothing chokeable for younger guests.
41. Put together an excavation style game
This is perfect for young and old guests alike! For older guests, you could put together an archeology style setup, where prizes could be hidden within plaster of paris and guests have to excavate to find them. For younger guests, you could try sand, or even edible 'soil' (chocolate cake crumbs!) and they have to eat their way to the prizes!
