Mini Beach Tin Pail With Seashell Potpourri*
These playful mini tin pails are each filled with scented potpourri seashells, capturing the essence of a day at a sandy beach. This party favor is the perfect way for your guests to take home a piece of your island theme wedding or special event. Everyone who picks one up recognizes it immediately, because everybody has carried a bucket exactly like it down to the water at some point.
Each tin pail (available in white or silver) is adorned with a satin bow and is filled inside with small potpourri bead droplets infused with a refreshing Sea Breeze fragrance. The potpourri is wrapped with tulle netting and nestled on a bed of natural wood grass, so the inside of the pail is built in layers rather than simply poured full: grass at the bottom, netting above it, beads gathered inside. At 2" high and 2.5" wide it sits neatly at a place setting, and a cluster of them along a table looks like a small tide line.
Our sea breeze potpourri is available in "blue tide pools", which contains shimmering blue beads, or "tie the knot", which contains elegant ivory beads. Blue reads as ocean and does the work of a centerpiece on a plain white cloth; ivory sits back and lets the flowers lead. Real mini seashells and wedding theme confetti (optional) are also included, so the pail carries something from the beach as well as something from the wedding.
The Mini Beach Tin Pail With Seashell Potpourri earns its place at a seaside ceremony, a rehearsal dinner by the water, a beach-themed shower or a summer birthday, and it keeps working afterwards. A guest sets it on a shelf or a windowsill at home and the sea breeze scent carries on quietly, which is more than a printed program manages on the drive home.
Your own words can ride along on a printed gift tag tied to the pail, up to 24 characters on each of two lines, personalized in-house by HansonEllis, in business since 1999.
Type your tag wording above, set the quantity to your guest count, and send everyone home with a bucket of the beach.

Care and use
- The potpourri beads are wrapped with tulle netting and nestled on a bed of natural wood grass, so the filling stays in place while the pails travel to a venue.
- The beads are infused with a refreshing Sea Breeze fragrance; a guest who wants the scent out in the room can leave the pail open on a shelf or windowsill.
- Real mini seashells and wedding theme confetti (optional) sit in the pail with the beads, so check each one before it goes on a plate if you want the shells showing.
- The printed tag takes 24 characters on each of two lines, so count spaces and punctuation before settling on your wording.
- Each pail is 2" high and 2.5" wide; work out early whether your place settings and your transport boxes have room for one per guest.

Which one should I choose
Beach favors come down to the container: what holds the potpourri decides how the table looks and how the favor travels home.
| Mini Beach Tin Pail With Seashell Potpourri | Choose it when you want the sandcastle-bucket shape on the table and a keepsake container the guest reuses. |
|---|---|
| Beach Potpourri in Organza Bags | Choose that when you want a softer, lighter favor that lies flat on a plate and posts easily to guests who cannot attend. |
| A loose bowl of shells or beach confetti on the table | Choose that when you only need decoration for the night and nothing is going home with anyone. |
For a seaside wedding where guests should carry something home, the tin pail wins on shape and on the fact that the bucket itself survives the beads.
