Every good themed party needs some sort of parting gift, some little token or favor to send with your guests.

Okay fine. You don’t have to. But it’s such a cute touch. And if you’re like me, you love any excuse to be cute and creative. And favors are a great way to do that.

If you want to put together your own fun favors, we have a great list of them for you here.

A really fun idea for a Halloween favor is a glow stick. It’s great for kids to wear when they’re trick or treating on Halloween night so parents can easily keep an eye on them.

​Of course, you could just hand out the glow sticks to kids. But, if you make our DIY Halloween Glow Stick Party Favors, you can attach the glow stick to our free printable, which makes these favors so easy for you.
