Gift Boxes / Party Favours

Once again, I am here looking for some inspiration (it's late & I'm all out of it myself!!)
We are having a party or my mum's 60th on Sunday & I ordered some lovely cake boxes, thing is, the boxes are suitable for small fruit cake slices, however, my sister has ordered the cake and it seems it is some fresh fruit and sponge cream type thing - not suitable to be portioned into my lovely boxes - Humphhh
To give you an idea of size, they would probably fit 2 - 3 ferrero rocher sweets quite snugly.
I would like to use the boxes (they have been embossed especially) and was thinking of putting small favours into them for the guests. We are expecting about 20 people, (ladies and gentlemen) and I would appreciate any suggestions you may have for the favours.
Ideally I would like to give them all the same thing as time is short and it would be easier to make them all up the same - lazy I know, but I have been given other very important party duties to undertake too :rotfl:
Any suggestions would be greatly received - thanks in advance

Daisy how about doing a survival kit? if you have the boxes already then it would be cheap enough to make up little kits to go in them.
i.e like this one here some of the things will be american, but you can usually replace them with something available in the UK and adjust the poem.Raising kids is like being held hostage by midget terrorists0 -
what about those trolley tokens you could get the charity ones and only £1 each
wrap in tissue paper and pop in the box0 -
Some lovely ideas - thanks guys - keep them coming!!
Rusty - I like the idea, but think I will use this for my friends 30th next month
Sparkleychel - Thats an unusual idea, I would never have thought of that! I could put a token in and a scratch card maybe? what do you think?0 -
Maybe a single fake rose? Roll it in glue and glitter?New year, new comper here!
