Not only is rolled silverware practical for your guests on a buffet...you can customize it to add to the theme or decor of your party
 
My goal of giving a gift or favor is that it is useful...cocktail napkins are a staple in my house - you never know when someone will stop by or drinks or appetizers. I think this is a great favor for a ladies happy hour, holiday party or even a garden party.
To "upgrade" your favor, instead of using themed paper napkins, purchase some nice cloth cocktail napkins and maybe monogram them. for each of your guests.

Here is a last minute idea for a Christmas "dessert" - found chocolate covered mint Peeps at the market, attached lollipop sticks and placed them in a clear jar full of Hot Tamales.

These marshmallow lollipops work great on a buffet, as a gift or a party favor. I placed a lollipop stick (found at any craft store) into the marshmallow, dipped it in chocolate and rolled the marshmallow in crushed holiday peanut butter m&ms. You can also roll them in peanuts, crushed mints or sprinkles - whatever you like!

 
Cute ideas for you and the kids to set out on Christmas Eve, plus they would be great as party favors!

How adorable is this for Christmas morning? You can pre-set them on your table or put them together as a family for breakfast. Use strawberries or apples and alternate them with bananas to look like a candy cane!
