What to put in favor boxes?

So, the lovely joenick is making my favors for DD's birthday. I have about 15 kids ranging in age from a few months to 11 years old. I need some ideas on what to fill these boxes with!

I will probably do something different for the infants (under 2) and the older kids. But...I still need ideas.

Re: What to put in favor boxes?

For the smaller kids, what about crayons, a coloring book, some stickers? And I'm stumped for the older kids - I need ideas for mine too!

What kind of boxes are you guys doing. We have everything else done for DS's party except favors.
Also, are you doing any type of favors for the adults? My sister seems to think that we should but DH and I only want to do for the kids!
