Make your holiday celebration one to remember with fun holiday party favors. If you're pressed for time and your calendar is covered with events, choose a generic holiday party favor design to cover a variety of different holidays. Ideas for holiday party favors include mugs with a hot cocoa kit, jam or preserves, or homemade cookies straight from the oven.

Check out these holiday party favor ideas:

• Mugs: Purchase some plain or festive mugs from your local store. If plain, decorate the mugs with sparkly snowflake stickers or personalize them with the recipient's initials. Fill clear plastic or cellophane bags with cocoa mix and mini marshmallows. Tie a ribbon at the top of the bag to complement the theme or holiday colors.

• Jam or Preserves: Prepare homemade jam or preserves to offer your guests for holiday party favors. Put the jam or preserves in glass jars, and add your own decorative touch such as personalized labels that say, “Happy Holidays from the Smith Family.”

• Cookies: Bake several dozen cookies for holiday party favors. Include a variety of different flavors such as sugar, chocolate chip, oatmeal, chocolate, and ginger bread. Decorate the cookies with frosting and toppings like silver snowflake sprinkles. Place the cookies in festive cellophane bags and tie ribbons around the tops. Create a “To” and “From” label, and tie it on with the ribbon.
