Cinco de Mayo Party Favors with a Festive Fiesta Vibe

1- Fill woven boxes with a variety of Mexican cookies (i.e., galletas) for guests of all ages to enjoy. Add a colorful gift box topper as an eye-catching accent. Available at Bellenza.com.

2- For a hot send-off, give bottles of salsa personalized with ribbons and tags for a memorable fiesta favor. They can also be given out as place card holders when the bottles are attached with escort cards, and then displayed on a table as you see in this photo via the Knot.

3- Purchase colorful tote bags and fill with a variety of Mexican treats! Add a pop of color with a bright ribbon and affix a “fiesta fun” label as you here from Tabby Cat Club’s Cinco de Mayo party.

4 – Give mini piñata favor boxes that can also double up as colorful party table decorations– via etsy seller (Lulaflora).

5 – Give colorful candies packaged in clear boxes bearing a design of a Mexican Loteria game via etsy seller (MyMercado).
