Wedding favors baptism: why give them

To celebrate special events, one of the most popular customs is to give a favor to each guest. The birth of a child is one of the most impactful and special occasions, so mom and dad often decide to remember the day of their little one's baptism

The wedding favor gift is a gesture of thanks and appreciation, a gift that wants to realize the joy of the baptism of your baby. The actual favor is generally given only to the closest members of the family, while friends and work colleagues receive a less expensive gift. Traditionally, porcelain favors are given, which portray angels, fairies or flowers. Canvas bags are also popular, with the lowest price. A bag of 5 almond or chocolate sprinkles is always attached to them, together with a card that shows the child's name and the date of baptism. The color of the confetti varies according to the sex of the child: blue for boys, a color that recalls the sky, while pink ones are used for girls, which recall blood

From olive oil to spices: alternative online baptism favors

A delicious alternative favor can be created with quality jam. Just choose an appetizing jam, such as our pumpkin and lemon peel compote, and place it in a smaller glass jar, up to the desired quantity. So your guests can not only enjoy a new jam, but also reuse the jar.

similar option is to insert precious olive oil in an elegantly shaped glass bottle, whether round or more rounded. Even better if you use spiced olive oil, capable of giving various dishes that extra lash that never hurts. You can use a versatile organic oil such as Frantoio del Borgo Calabria IGP BIO EVO Oil, characterized by medium-high intensity spiciness and bitterness

As a reminder for your neighbors, you could instead make spice bottles, one of the ingredients that never fails in the kitchen. Choose unusual spices, such as cardamom or Sichuan pepper. You might discover your neighbor's new favorite spice! Even tea or coffee blends are perfect, placed in a convenient cloth bag. Bags of this type can also be used to give away dry biscuits. For example, Almond Pastes are typical Sicilian sweets, with a bitter-sweet taste given to them by almonds. A soft and fresh goodness, ready to be eaten

Another creative idea is to place in a large glass jar all the ingredients necessary for one of your favorite recipes. It can be a sweet or savory creation, as long as it requires a few simple fresh ingredients. On a string of twine, stick the recipe for your preparation with hot glue, so that each guest can take home everything they need to make your dish
