4. Candy Bars

An edible party favor that everyone loves is candy bars. A great way to make this favor special and unique is to get a personalized candy bar label. You could tailor a label to the theme of your bar/bat mitzvah, or you can write the date and name of the party on the label.

M&M tubes are another great idea for your guests. They can be bought inexpensively in bulk. You can conveniently personalize them by taking off the M&M label and creating your own personalized label.

7. Snow Globes

If your party is taking place in the winter, snow globes are a unique and cool gift to give at a Bar/Bat Mitzvah. Many snow globes have a feature where you can have a special message put into the center of them. Others even have slots for pictures of your guests.

8. Key Chains

If you’re looking for the best-personalized Bar Mitzvah giveaway ideas, a keychain is a great place to start. You can have them created with a personalized message, or you can tie in the theme of your Bar/Bat Mitzvah. Keychains can also be used as napkin holders and give an extra flair to the table décor. If you have much extra time on hand, you can even create your own keychains out of fabric or string and beads. These make great gifts and are easy to include in goodie bags too!

You can also give your guests fun cell phone decorations. You can purchase phone ornaments that fit your theme, or you can create your own with colorful string, alphabet beads, and decorative charms. You can also order personalized pop sockets for your guests’ phones. Popsockets are a useful gift your guests are sure to love. 

9. Flower Holders

Vases are another favorite that comes with a lot of options for give aways. You give out big or small, plastic or glass, colored or plain vases. Although you can give out plain vases, you can also have your guests take home a flower or two from your centerpiece arrangements. This way they can literally take a piece of the party home with them, and you don’t have to worry about what to do with the flowers after the party. If you are not using flowers in your decorations, you can also fill the vases with candy. 

10. Photo Boxes

These special bar mitzvah giveaways are a super unique option. Personalized photo boxes are a favor your guests are sure to love. Seeing a photo that brings up happy memories is something everyone enjoys. You can add smaller favors such as candy or bracelets into the center of the photo box, and decorate them to your liking.

11. Bags

Tote bags are a great option as well. You can get plain or colored bags and then decorate them as you like using embroidery, paint, stamps, or heat transfer vinyl. If buying in bulk, they can also be remarkably inexpensive. They can also play a role in your Bar/Bat Mitzvah. For example, if you get your guests’ names embroidered onto the bag, you can use them as place cards at the table! You can also create welcome baskets (perfect for out-of-town guests).

12. Hats

Try adding some bar mitzvah hats to your favors! Most kids will love receiving hats as party favors. You can buy tiaras, princess hats, cowboy hats, or fedoras to give the child options to choose from. Other hat options include beanies, top hats, crowns, sun hats, and baseball caps. Many of these options can be personalized as well! 

13. Favors that Glow in the Dark

Glow in the Dark favors tends to be popular at parties that end after it gets dark. They are fun and can be used in many different ways. Give each guest a few glow-in-the-dark bands as giveaways, and you will see that people can get very creative in creating necklaces and bracelets!

14. Gumball Machines

Most kids love gumball machines, so why not give them a miniature version to go in their room? You can choose miniature gumball machines in the colors of your Bar/Bat Mitzvah, or you can order plain white ones and decorate them yourself. Make sure to fill them with gumballs or other candies before giving them to your guests. 

15. Gift Cards 

Gift cards are simple but exciting giveaways for kids. This party favor is almost guaranteed to please every guest. Be sure to choose gift cards from places kids are likely to frequent such as ice cream parlors, game stores, or the mall.
