Doughnuts as Favors

Before digging into the lip-smacking list of ideas, we want to start by saying: if you plan on using ​actual doughnuts as favors, think creatively. Because they way in which they're presented to guests (or tied to the overall theme) is where your WOW factor comes in. Here are some tips to help with that:

​
FOCUS ON THE FINISHING TOUCHES
Doughnuts can be decorated in so many different ways. Making them SUPER easy to pair with your overall theme.

For example, is your party based on pinks and white? Opt for icing in similar hues. Hosting a rainbow party? Think colourful sprinkles - or doughnuts iced in a range of fun shades. A rustic party? Neutral tones (such as glazed, powdered sugar,  or cream icing)
 and cinnamon doughnuts will do the trick.

You may also like to consider luxe finishes. From edible images or flowers to unique toppings (shaved chocolate, mini marshmallows, crushed nuts, edible glitter), there are some incredibly beautiful ways to decorate doughnuts.

As you can see, it's all about getting creative and having fun with different options inspired by the tone and 'vibe' of your celebration!

Doughnut Favor Ideas

The hero of the hour. With different shapes, sizes, textures and flavours to work with, you can have a HOLE lot of fun putting together these fabulous favors! Find our favourite doughnut gift ideas below:

​​
CAFE PACKS
Treat guests to a delicious snack pack that wouldn't be out of place at a beautiful café. These beauties feature a doughnut or two and hot beverage of choice (made to order as they leave!).



DECORATING KITS
Continue the joy by providing guests with DIY doughnut decorating kits. Fill each kit with plain doughnuts, a variety of icings and fun toppings (such as shaved chocolate, sprinkles and jams). They can then work their magic at home; where the resulting treat is limited only by their imagination!



DONUT HOLES
These mouth-watering favors look fab when overflowing from favor bags, boxes or cones.



DOUGHNUT BOUQUETS
This fun, unique and visually appealing idea is made by arranging doughnuts on skewers, and then wrapping bundles as you would a bunch of flowers. Finish it all off by fastening the wrapping with a beautiful twine or ribbon bow!



SMALL GIFT BOXES
Hand out small gift boxes containing delicious, gourmet doughnuts. After a personalised touch? Attach tags or stickers featuring guests' names, fun 'doughnut sayings' and more.​



VARIETY PACKS
The best way to try a selection of gourmet flavours! We love using 4 or 6 different doughnuts for these; displaying them in beautiful boxes. Stuck for ideas? Offer a range of choices - from the classics (such as jam filled, cinnamon or chocolate), to the more unique (like red velvet).

Display Tips

Not sure how to display your doughnuts? The following fun and creative ideas will add a unique touch to your celebration:
​
  • Doughnut dessert table: set out a variety of different flavours for guests to choose from. Be sure to include serving tools and bags or boxes so that the delicious treats can be easily taken home. For added flair, you may also like to include a couple of other dessert items as well​.
  • Doughnut holder stand: not only a fun way to display different doughnuts, but also an easy self-serve option
  • Favor bags: featuring fun sayings such as 'donut mind if I do', 'love is sweet, please take a treat' or 'thanks a hole bunch for celebrating with me!'. Personalised party messages or individual names also work well!
  • Mason jars: filled with mini doughnuts or doughnut holes
  • Tiered stands: great for displaying doughnuts in smaller spaces, or for adding height to dessert tables
