Guess how many buttons in the jar, the winner gets a pretty gift! Fill a jar with old buttons of all sizes, put little notes next to it, during the party everyone can guess and the winner will be announced at the end. Simple and cute.

Party favors My favorite part!
Endless possibilities here.. DIY or buy them ready, or buy little gifts and make cute button packaging..
Our button soaps- we first made them as vintage soaps, or soaps for kids but as it turns out a lot of our customers buy the buttons for "Cute as a button" baby shower favors, that is also what inspired this post.

The button soap is the first soap I designed, and made the mold for. Later on Erez upgraded the design to what it is today- almost 3D button, very round and chubby, very cute!
For baby showers we make them in pastel colors, and pleasant scents. The best Sellers are blue and pink obviously , blue with ocean scent and pink with strawberry scent.
We shrink wrap each button and that allows you to place them in any type of package you like. Here are some ideas, and printable tags I usually Email anyone who buys our buttons.
Button favor packaging:
Glue some button on the bag
Stamp buttons on paper or muslin bag
Make button tags
Wrap a matchbox with a beautiful paper and glue a big button on top
Use custom tags with clear cello bags
Les Petites Présents Thoughtful Day Cobblestone rue
Make Bobby pins for your guests - glue a big button on a pin and a round piece of felt on the back.
