How to Throw a Winter Fun Snowman Party - Favors

The ultimate favor for your Winter Fun Snowman Party is a Snowman to Go Kit.  Send your guests home in style with the items listed below and a note to this effect:

Here are the ingredients for a very cool snowman:

Pair of funky sunglasses for eyes; five small black rocks for mouth; three large buttons for buttons, of course; one fleece scarf to keep the snowman warm; and, one top hat for style.  Add plenty of snow and a fresh carrot nose.

Most of these items can be purchased at a local party store or on-line.  Funky sunglasses can be ordered from Oriental Trading Company for $10/dozen (Black Nomad Glasses IN-50/333). While there you can also order top hats, child's $6.25/dozen (IN-70/1284) or adult's $15/dozen (IN-25/1648).

Scarves can be made easily from a length of fleece fabric fringed with a scissor at both ends - no sewing required..  Joann Fabrics is currently having a sale on fleece for $4.00 a yard.  The fabric comes 58" wide.  If you cut widths slightly less than six inches you can get ten scarves from one width of fabric.  You can also order buttons from Joann Fabrics - 24 monochromatic buttons are currently priced at $2.79.  BTW - you might want to paint your rocks for the snowman's mouth black for a touch of added refinement for these snow creatures.
