Miniature Metal Tin Pail Party Favors
Let your guests bring home a rustic and endearing memento of your special day with our Favor Tin Pails. Sturdy and charmingly dainty, these chic containers are the perfect holder for all your creative favor ideas. Available in silver or white, whether you plan on including colorful hand-crafted treats or lavishly nature-themed gifts, our Tin Pails will be sure to complement your sentiments.
At 2" high and 2.5" wide they are small in the way that makes people smile rather than small in the way that disappoints, and metal gives them a weight that paper and card never have. Silver reads cool and clean against a formal table; white sits quietly under a beach or garden palette and lets whatever you put inside supply the color.
Fill our tins to the brim with all your great gift ideas and decorate the outside of each one for a personal touch. A ribbon around the handle, a printed tag tied on, a stamped label, a name in paint pen along the side: the plain surface is an invitation, and that is the point of a DIY favor. Whether you're going for an Easter, beach, or general outdoor theme, our tin pails make the perfect table settings and favor holders. Stand one at each place with a name card in it and the pail is doing two jobs before the first course arrives.
Children will be ecstatic to receive and carry these tin pails home, swinging them all the way with our durable handles and the delectable favors you'll stuff inside. The handle is the small detail that turns a container into a bucket, and the reason a child picks one up instead of leaving it on the table.
However you organize your special event, these Tin Pails' tidy and simple charm will be sure to hold everything together. Long after the day, they hold hairpins on a dresser, screws in a garage, or a tiny succulent on a windowsill.
Choose silver or white above, choose your quantity, and fill them with something worth carrying home.

Which one should I choose
A favor holder is judged on whether it survives the journey home, so the choice is between metal and the paper alternatives usually set on the table.
| Miniature Metal Tin Pail Party Favors, silver | Choose silver for a formal, metallic or winter table where a cool finish suits the place settings. |
|---|---|
| Miniature Metal Tin Pail Party Favors, white | Choose white for a beach, garden, pastel or baby shower palette, and let the contents supply the color. |
| A paper or card favor box | Choose it when the favor only has to hold candy for one evening and does not need a handle or a second life. |
For a favor a child will carry by the handle and an adult will keep on a shelf, the metal tin pail beats a paper box every time.
