"Sea of Love" Starfish & Urchin Soap Mini Tin Pail Favor*
Send your guests sailing on home with the scent of the sea with the Sea of Love Starfish & Urchin Soap Mini Tin Pail Favor. These adorable pails are reminiscent of the authentic tin pails used on the sandy shores of the beaches of your childhood, shrunk down to the size of a place setting. Each one comes with either a mini starfish or a sea urchin soap, and the soap sits softly on a bed of wood grass inside the miniature white pail, so opening it feels like finding something washed up rather than unwrapping a favor.
Add one of our stylish tags and the pail becomes a truly personal item: your names, your date or a few words of thanks travel home on the handle with every guest. The sea mist scent does the rest, because a favor that smells of the shoreline is remembered long after a printed card has been recycled.
If you are planning a destination or beach wedding, these mini tin pails are just what you need to top off your decorations. Scatter them throughout the venue, line them up as centerpieces alongside a Natural Beach Starfish Photo Album, or pair one with a Beach Potpourri in Organza Bag or a Silver Seashell Trinket Box so each seat gets a small haul from the sea. Sail through our Beach Wedding Favors pages to get your hands on all of these items and many more. Every guest takes home a little of the ocean, and a reminder of the vacation they spent helping you begin your voyage into matrimony.
Children love them for a different reason. Kids spend hours digging in the sand, and now they can clean up wonderfully after a long day at the beach with their own mini pail and soap. Give them out as thank-you gifts to all of the children at your son's or daughter's next birthday party, and let them take home a little bit of the surf too.
Add your tag wording above, choose your quantity, and give your guests that Oceanside feeling any time of the year.

Which one should I choose
Beach favors split into the ones guests use, the ones they display and the ones they eat; these are the choices from the same collection.
| Sea of Love Starfish & Urchin Soap Mini Tin Pail Favor | Choose it when you want a favor that is used at home, carries a personalized tag and looks like a tiny beach pail on the table. |
|---|---|
| Beach Potpourri in Organza Bag | Choose it when you want scent on the table itself rather than a keepsake container, or as a partner piece to the pail. |
| Silver Seashell Trinket Box | Choose it when the favor should be kept and displayed rather than used up. |
| A generic wrapped soap favor | Choose that when the soap is the whole gift and nothing has to sit on the table as decoration. |
For a beach wedding that wants the table styled and the favor useful, the Sea of Love mini tin pail is the pick, because the pail decorates, the soap gets used and the tag carries your names.
