UNIQUE AND CREATIVE FAVOR GIFT IDEAS

Bridal couples and Quinceañeras present gifts to their guests in their special events as a gesture of gratitude; this is a custom that dates back to the sixteenth century. The favor tradition began in Europe where fancy boxes made of beautiful materials were given to the invited attendants at weddings, back then these were filled with bonbons or almonds. These boxes were called bombonnières, and the Greeks used to give five almonds, representing fertility, longevity, wealth, health and happiness.
