Spa Party Favors Your Guests Make Themselves
Spa party favors are usually something you buy and hand out at the door. At our parties, guests create them instead. Each girl leaves with a product she mixed herself, so these favors feel personal.
So there is no goodie bag to stuff, and nothing ends up in a drawer. We host every station, then you simply celebrate. Parties start at $475.

Why Spa Party Favors Work Better When Guests Make Them
A store-bought favor is nice for a day, but it fades fast. However, a favor she made herself becomes a memory, because she remembers choosing the scent, mixing the color, and naming the bottle. These party favors kids keep for years.
Also, the making is part of the party. While guests create, they chat and laugh together. That is why the favor and the activity are really the same thing, and DIY spa favors are simply the party itself.
Parents like it too, because the favors are useful. Perfume, lip gloss, and bath bombs actually get used. Plus, our founder, a trained perfumer and cosmetic formulator, makes the products.
Instead, skip the extra goodie bags. Guests already leave with arms full of things they made, after all.
Six Favors Guests Can Make
Each station below ends with something to take home, so mix and match to fit your budget..
Perfume to Keep
Kids blend kid-friendly scents, then fill a bottle with their own eau de parfum. That means a true perfume, spritzed from an atomizer.
Lip Gloss or Lip Cream
Guests mix a soft-matte lip cream or a high-shine gloss from a 16-shade swatch board. Then they pack it up to take home.
A Handmade Bath Bomb
Each guest finishes the bath bar with a handmade bath bomb. Because it is wrapped, bath bomb favors travel home safely.
Bath Salts and Scrubs
Guests scoop salts, scrubs, and oils into a jar. Since no water is needed, it works anywhere.
Skincare Creations
At our skincare bar, estheticians help guests make a moisturizer or body butter. Then guests add their own fragrance to an unscented base. It suits smaller groups of about 10 to 15.
Candy Jars
A small scoop of candy from our glass jars adds a sweet finish. It is also the fastest station.

Three Spa Party Favors Ideas for Any Budget
Because guests make the favors, you control the cost by choosing stations. Here are three simple plans.
Custom bottle labels are a paid add-on. We print them in advance, so order at booking and allow about 4 weeks.
When Handmade Favors Matter Most
Handmade favors feel special at many celebrations. Here are six we see often.
Birthday Parties
The classic. Each guest takes home proof that she helped celebrate.
Class Celebrations
Plan a group party for a small circle of classmates, so everyone leaves with the same kind of treat.
Sleepover Spa Nights
Favors double as bedtime gifts, especially bath bombs after a long night.
Holiday Gatherings
A handmade bottle makes a thoughtful gift for a grandmother or aunt.
Mother-Daughter Events
Moms make favors too. Then each pair has a matching set to share.
Milestone Birthdays
A tenth or twelfth birthday feels bigger with a keepsake, and labels make it personal.
