You know you’re dealing with a class act when you’re package full of goodies to review comes like this:

Beau-coup is known for it’s unique and affordable party favors for just about any occasion: weddings, bridal showers, baby shower, graduation, corporate parties, holiday parties and yes, even birthday parties. As a mom with two kids, I’m always on the look-out for fun and unique favors that look great, but don’t cost an arm and a leg. It gets more challenging as the kids get older, especially with a teenager. Not that I plan elaborate parties, but I do like to send their friends home with a little goodie.

For my review, I selected the mini gumball machine, the Cupcake Tea Light Place Card Holders and the Gourmet Cupcake Mix. As you can see the Cupcake Tea Light Place Card Holders are simply adorable and festive. I could see using these for my daughter’s 16th birthday.

Now my 10 yo son has been wondering why I’m writing all this stuff about these favors and when I told him, he wanted to write his own review. So without further delay, here are his thoughts:

This gumball machine might be small, but it is so awesome because it really works and you don’t have to put money in it! I think this would be a great party favor because it’s reusable and it’s fun for adults and kids.

I actually had to hide the gumball machine for a few days because I thought he was going to eat all the gum in one sitting. I have to admit I snuck a few and was pleasantly surprised to find that the gum is very fresh.

The Gourmet Cupcake mix was outstanding and quite a hit with the whole family. The kids helped me make them and they were so moist and yummy. I never thought about giving something like that as a party favor.

I spent quite a bit of time on Beau-coup’s website browsing through their huge selection and found they also have some new eco-friendly favors and offer tips for party themes, games and supplies. Party favors start at under a $1 with the most spendy being $38 so there is a wide range to meet almost any budget. They also have free shipping on orders over $150.
