Re: Bday Favor Bags?? what do you put in it????
Yeah... Mason too!
We did a "construction" theme party b/c DH is a contractor. Of course everyone buys Mason tools. 
Since ours was in the summer we did shovel and pails with the kids names on it. Put in some candy, cheap crayons, coloring book, bubbles and small playdoh
Everything was at the party store
I'm sure when Aug - Sept comes around and all the football stuff comes out it would be a great time to start getting stuff at party stores
Maybe little foam footballs and other sports stuff
We went to a baseball theme party and they gave out blow-up bats and baseballs. Plus, for ice-cream they served them in those plastic bball hats.
It was cute!

Re: Bday Favor Bags?? what do you put in it????
For DD's 1st birthday, we had a broad range of ages...from 6 months to 8....I made the babies (6 mo - 1 year) specialized "baskets" that were themed, but more useful/appropriate gifts....the others I made all the same, and varied with a bit of "snacks" (it was a care bear theme, so i had care bear fruit snacks, etc.), toys (yo-yo's, paddleballs, etc.) and crafty things (stickers, etc).
ETS - the babies' gifts were pacifiers, bibs, etc that I found with care bears on them, and some Gerber Puffs, etc.
I did the same things for boys/girls

Re: Bday Favor Bags?? what do you put in it????
Honestly, for DS's first birthday I decided to do cookies that match his theme and a candy table - because I feel like everything else is such a waste.
I hate to say this but I end up throwing away so many "favors" that DD gets from parties. It is really just a bunch of plastic stuff that creates clutter - I have been guilty of giving the same stuff for DD's birthday. I know I must be the biggest debbie downer.
Although, if you could find inexpensive footballs that are nice and have them personalized that would be a cute idea.

You can get little footballs from oriental trading. They have girly ones too.

Re: Bday Favor Bags?? what do you put in it????
For Adriano's 1st birthday I had 3 "types" of goodie bags
1- babies
2- toddlers
3-bug kids
I put different items in each bag
For the "babies" (1 and under) I had:
teething biscuits, a small individual juice bottle and a rubber ducky for the tub.
For the "toddlers" (1 to 3yrs.) I had:
a pack of crayons, rubber ducky, sheet of stickers, a mini coloring book and a mini tub of playdoh with a mini playdough cookie.
For the big kids (4 and up) I had: a pack of crayons, a mini chocolate bar, a sheet of stickers, a pencil, a mini tub of playdoh with a mini playdough cookie cutter shape and a mini writing pad.
Hope this helps!
