Ideas for doggie party favors

**beeniesmom** · 04-27-2006, 02:48 PM

On June 11th I am participating in a fundraiser for the Humane Society Legislative Fund to help pass a bill that will protect animals in case of another “Katrina” situation.

I offered to make little party favors for the participants who have dogs (it will be a dog party fundraiser).

What would you suggest I do/use as party favors (that won’t kill my pocket too much)?

maybe some homemade cookies?? they take time but they are not pocket emptiers (is this a word?)

some pupcakes??

maybe some home made bandanas that Kay made a thread how to do them??

Mmmm Girl lets think about this one.. Ok how about buy big bag of each med size milk bones & stick raw hides & a bag kibble-n-bits.. Then put small amount of kibble-n-bits & milk bone & raw hide in each bag & tie a cute ribbon on top.. That one idea & I will keep thinking of more ok..

Call a local Pro shop and see if they have any flat tennis balls they would donate? Or, call a tennis club? You could include a ball or two in a package...

I don't know how much you are willing to spend or if this is an idea you can do at this party, but maybe you can pick up some supplies and have people pay a buck or two to make a little hanging picture frame like this. Some dog bone, paw print ribbon and maybe some fish or cats if you can find some as this isn't just a dog thing, to hold the picture at two corners. Dog and cat stickers and string to hang it. The back can be cardboard or those foam sheets or even a pack of giant index cards- even cheaper. Just make sure its a little bigger than your typical picture.

Each dog got a goodie bag for being in the Husky Hike last fall - they got little sample bags of bones & kibble that were pre-packed by the companies - maybe you can contact Purina or a local pet store that might help you out?
Each dog also got a cool lolly-pup from a local doggie bakery, a tennis ball, and a simple bandana. (a triangle of nice fabric cut with pinking shears). Bags included magnets from pet-sitters & groomers, too. Hope this gives you a few ideas.

I can't let the participants contribute (apart from the fact that I have no idea who and how many will be there - I am guessing around 50 people with 30 or so dogs) because they will already be donating $$$ toward the cause. I just thought the doggie favors would be a small thank you for thier generosity.

I am so happy. Yesterday I went to one of the pet shops that I emailed and hadn't responded and they said they were happy to help. They are going to give me some pretty bags with one sample of Innova or Merrick in it. I also got to talk to Drs. Foster and Smith and they said they will try to send me tennis balls or treat samples to put in the bags. I will buy treats and make little pouches to put in the gft bags.
