Unique Christmas Party Favors for Adults

Christmas isn’t only the most wonderful time of the year – it’s also the busiest time of the year. It makes sense that you don’t have the time to package up hundreds of Christmas goodie bags for the adults in your organization. But that doesn’t mean they can’t have an awesome holiday gift. These adult Christmas party favors make great standalone giveaways.

Christmas isn’t only for kids, and neither are coloring books. Bring out that inner playfulness with our Kraft Paper Coloring Book with Colored Pencils. This little coloring book is small enough to take anywhere and it’s great for relieving stress, killing a couple of minutes when you’re waiting in line, or bonding with a child. It comes with colored pencils for convenience.

It can sometimes be difficult to find a gift that everyone will appreciate, so we created a holiday gift guide with plenty of inspiration. If you are wondering what to put in Christmas gift bags for adults that can also stand on its own, consider hot chocolate favors. Our Hot Chocolate Bomb Gift Box is a creative take on your typical hot cocoa pack. When dropped into hot milk, this jumbo sized milk chocolate drink bomb melts and releases mini marshmallows for a delicious hot cocoa experience. Bonus – it comes in a gift box with your custom art. One step festivity!
