Okay, some might believe that party favors should be relegated to weddings and kids' birthdays, but we're thinking about bringing them back at our next get-together. What better way to commemorate a great night? We'll probably start with this idea from Martha Stewart. These Hanukkah matchboxes are useful (the key to a good party favor) and look like they're a lot of fun to make.

They could also work as a quick general gift for the holidays (and could be covered in a variety of patterns). Pass them around the office, or pair with candles for a larger gift. Cheap, quick, and full of handmade charm. Click here for the step-by-step instructions.
