How to Make Fun Sock Stuffed Favor Gifts for Your Next Party

Party favor gifts are an excellent way to show how much you appreciate your guests. You can gift guests many favors when they come to your home. I thought this was easy to make, and everyone enjoyed the uniqueness. Plus, it did not generate trash for the guests. I love to make favor gifts for my kids' friends for their parties. This post shows how I made these sock-stuffed favorite gifts for a recent party. They are super easy to make for a holiday family gathering.

What supplies are needed to make these favor gift stuffed socks?

First, here is the list of stuff I bought to make these sock-stuffed favor gifts.

A pair of socks - festive (Amazon (Affiliate Link) Affiliate Link)
Small Gifts for inside the socks (Affiliate Link) - ornaments (flat), lip balm, comb, holiday candy (Amazon (Affiliate Link) Affiliate Links)
Thin in width Festive Ribbon - red and green (Amazon (Affiliate Link) Affiliate Link)
Gift Tags (see the printable below)

How much did it cost to make these Sock Stuffed Favor Gifts?

It didn't cost much. I spent five dollars per sock favor gift. I made sure to buy things in wholesale packs, so I got several pieces of supplies for a much lower price.

How to Make a Sock Stuffed Favor Gifts

First, the items you will need are below.

Determine how many pairs of festive socks you want to put together.

I had an even number of family members at my party, so I used one pair of socks (Affiliate Link) per two people so each family would get one or two pairs of festive socks (Affiliate Link). Since the festive socks (Affiliate Link) were girl socks (Affiliate Link), I ensured one child or lady was a part of the pair. If you want to spend more, get one pair for each person.

Then, I purchased stuff for the inside.

I bought large bags of candy (Affiliate Link) from a wholesale store. Sweets that are longer in their packaging and flexible work best to keep the socks (Affiliate Link) appropriately shaped. I also bought lip balm (Affiliate Link) (Affiliate Link) and dollar store ornaments (Affiliate Link). Flatten ornaments (Affiliate Link) (Affiliate Link) that are small and round work well so they don't poke a hole in the socks (Affiliate Link).

Other things you put inside a favor sock are:

blush - (Affiliate Link)
backscratcher - (Affiliate Link)
pencil - (Affiliate Link)
Sample bottle of moisturizer hand cream - (Affiliate Link)
Facial sample mask - (Affiliate Link)
Bottle opener - (Affiliate Link)

For kids: Plastic bracelets - (Affiliate Link), paper yoyos - (Affiliate Link)

I found the above ones on Amazon (Affiliate Link) (affiliate). If you click through and buy something on Amazon (Affiliate Link), I will receive a free referral commission.

Curly ribbons in two colors are easy to tie the socks together.

I used a red and green ribbon. Thinner ribbons (Affiliate Link) are best, so stick with this type.

I also created gift tags, which are attached here for your use.

Use a hole puncher to run the ribbon through it, then tie it to the top of the socks (Affiliate Link). Tie them pretty tight so none of the food falls out.

Ornaments were added, too.

The ornaments (Affiliate Link) I picked were flat, making them easy to slide into the socks (Affiliate Link). I found that any sharp edges would create a hole in the sock, so stick with round and flat ornaments (Affiliate Link).

Winter lip balm was added.

The lip balms were removed from their packaging to fit better. The EOS-style lip balms are great if you can get them in bulk.

Add Gift Tags to keep the top of the sock tight.

I used Microsoft Word and created this in a table. Then, I added the text to each block. The app has several holiday images, so I used a snowflake. I found a funny saying, "Hoping your toes stay warm this Christmas," to each card.

Tips on how to make these Sock Stuffed Favor Gifts:

Buy Men's Socks for more room for things.

I found it easy to buy a pack of socks (Affiliate Link) on Amazon (Affiliate Link). The men's crew sock sizes were bigger to add more stuff. Get the women's shorter socks (Affiliate Link) if you want less stuff in those sock-stuffed favor gifts.

Buy socks with a liner inside.

Try to buy socks (Affiliate Link) that are layered inside. Some cheaper holiday socks (Affiliate Link) may not have inside layers, and the things you place in them may get stuck on the strings from the pattern on the outside.

Setting up the piles in an assembly line for quick wrapping.

Make piles of all the items you want to add to the sock on a large table. Then, start from one end and work to the other end of the table, adding stuff to the stocking along the way. It will speed up the assembly process.

A party idea for your next holiday party!

You can have everyone make one pair and bring them to your next holiday party sock-stuffed gift exchange.  Just have everyone bring a pair of socks (Affiliate Link) and stuff them with whatever they like. Then play a game with the invitees to see who gets the socks (Affiliate Link). It sounds like a blast, doesn't it? Check out this post that talks about how to do this game.

Well, there you have it! I hope these quick DIY Sock Stuffed Favor Gifts are great for your next holiday party, and I hope they bring joy to all your guests. The family enjoyed the favor gifts. They appreciated the lip balm (Affiliate Link) and the other things in the socks.

    What a cute idea! I've noticed how many fun socks are available these days. Whenever I see them, I always think about one of my friends who collects patterned socks that relate to her activities and travel adventures. You bring a new twist to sock ideas. How fun!

    This does look like a fun idea. I think the "sock exchange" would be great in so many settings. It would be fun to get stocking stuffer ideas by seeing what various people come up with!
