birthday favor idea for boys

Jaxon's birthday is tomorrow and he will be 6 years old. However, he will be celebrating with classmates today at school. I wanted to make something gender neutral that all the kids can enjoy! Who doesn't like furry fuzzy things at this age right? I made these monster pencils.

You can purchase 'craft fur' from Michaels for $1.99 and the googly eyes too. I was able to get 8 out of one sheet of fur. I used a hot glue gun to adhere the fur to the pencil.

I used No. 2 pencils that came in silver. Score! You can buy them at Target and they come 10 a pack. I paid about $2.50 or so? I forget the exact price.

I used lollipop treat bags for the packaging. Also from Michaels. Instead of using the twisty ties they come with, I jazzed it up with washi tape for closure. I printed out little tags on cardstock and attached them to the tape.

I found these cool 'glow in the dark' mustaches that came 6 to a pack at Target in the $1.00 section.
I decided to repackage them 2 to a person, and I printed my own packaging.

I slid them into clear bags and closed off with washi tape.
I hope the kiddies have fun with these!

Nerdy Bats

These little guys will be hanging upside down from our large oak tree this year.
You can buy the foam bats at Target in the Halloween section. They come 35 to a pack in black/purple combo for $5.00. Not bad right? Have fun putting your own funny faces on them!

Orla Kiely x Method

After I gushed about the collaboration between Orla Kiely and Method to J several weeks back, he brought home a few for me! Who likes a household cleaner that smells like bleach? Not me! I am the proud owner of a pear ginger scented all purpose cleaner and dishsoap. My home smells sooo good!
Thanks to Orla Kiely, my kitchen looks puurrrty too....

 FYI, these are limited editions so get yours at Target  ASAP! They also have handsoaps in yummy scents like vanilla chai, primrose, and bay leaf.
