Perfect 18th Birthday Party Favour Boxes

Updated: Oct 13, 2025

How to Create Stylish Favour Boxes


For this special occasion, I chose Clear Acetate Boxes to showcase the colour and style of our customised mini gifts inside.


Try to pick a style that fits the party vibe. Whether that’s elegant, edgy, playful, or pastel, your choice is essential.


Match with the Theme


Tip: Match the box colour to your party theme or to the birthday girl’s favourite colour for an extra personal touch.


Fill It with Fabulous Favourites


Now the fun part! What’s going inside? Here are some age-appropriate (and crowd-pleasing) filler ideas:


Self-Care Mini Kits


  • Nail file/buffer

  • Bath salts

  • Unscented whipped body butter (choose your scent)

  • Tropical mango fragrance mist (choice of scent)

  • Multi-colour/style hair scrunchies


In cute mini sizes! Use Penn Group’s custom labels, some shredded tissue paper, and two shimmer tissue paper to cushion items stylishly. This also adds a girly background.

Other options include personalised stickers, pocket mirrors, notebooks, coin purses, perfumes, or keychains. All can be designed and printed by Penn Group.


Optional: Sweet Treats


  • Mini jars of retro sweets (Penn Group can supply and style the jars too!)

  • Custom-wrapped chocolates using Penn Group’s printable labels

  • Cookies in clear bags with ribbon ties


Don’t forget to add a “Thank You for Coming” tag using Penn’s ready-made tags or DIY your own with their blank cardstock and twine.


Style It Like a Pro


Presentation is everything! This is where Penn Group’s packaging accessories really shine:


  • Add flower decorations for an elegant touch.

  • Use tissue or shredded paper to add volume, colour, and protection for your goodies.

  • Include a cute box strap for your guests to travel with easily.


Additional Styling Options


Consider satin or organza ribbon. Tie it around the box for a polished finish. Gift tags can display guests’ names or a cheeky quote like “Legally fun now!”


Feeling extra creative? Add some Penn Group vinyl lettering to the outside of the box for instant flair and customisation.
