New TOPS Malibu Christmas Bon Bon Mini Surprise Ball

Six small surprises, wound inside a crepe paper ball and twisted shut at both ends like a bon bon. That is the entire product, and it is enough. Unwinding is the event here, and it holds a four year old’s attention longer than anything else at a place setting, with no scissors, no batteries, and no grown-up needed to get it started. Colors arrive assorted in pink or mint, so a row of them down the table looks collected over time rather than bought all at once. As Christmas party favors go, this is the one guests actually open at the table instead of pocketing, which changes the mood of a meal more than another printed napkin will. Set one at each place, drop one into a stocking, or keep a bowlful by the door for anyone who stops by with a card and a tin of cookies. Contains small parts, ages 3 and up.

What are party favors? Party favors are small gifts given to guests as a thank-you for attending a celebration. They are usually inexpensive, handed out at the table or on the way out, and chosen to match the party’s theme or colors.
