Summer Party Favors and A Birthday Giveaway

July 9, 2014 by Raquel 10 Comments

Sharing is caring!

The other day, I was in Target and got caught by the dollar bins. The bins are hard to miss since they are at the entrance, and I cannot help checking them out in case I miss something really cute. The other day, I found these cute little buckets for just $1. They were perfect for my welcome summer gifts for my coworkers, but are also great as summer party favors.

These would also make really cute family reunion gifts or pool party birthday favors. I filled the little pails with some travel sized products, like sunscreen, lip balm and a coin purse (each item cost a dollar or less).

Then I made a little tag in the shape of a shovel.

I tied a ribbon around the pail and that is it. They came out really cute.

    I thought of you this morning because I heard an ad on my Pandora that the dollar store thing is coming into style. Isn't that funny? It was about the days of value. Anyway, I'm all for it!
    My favorite birthday cake is probably funfetti or something with sprinkles on top. (because I'm five, apparently)

    I'm the same as you when it comes to Target--just can't get past the $1 bins on my way in! My favorite birthday cake would have to be something along the lines of Death by Chocolate!
