Des Moines & Central Iowa, Iowa

Favors & Gifts

In Des Moines & Central Iowa: Eleven favors and gifts businesses are listed, including two each in Des Moines, West Des Moines and Perry and another in Pleasantville, with spend commonly $1 to $5 per guest. The regional opportunity, if you want one, is edible and local: Iowa honey and maple, Jasper and Marion County wine, metro coffee roasters and small-batch confections from Pella all travel well in a guest's hand and get used rather than left on the table. Heat is the one practical trap. Anything chocolate or wax-based set out on a July or August afternoon at 90 degrees will not survive the reception, so either choose something heat-stable or hold favors somewhere cool and hand them out at the end. If a meaningful share of your guests are flying home, favor something that packs flat and does not count as liquid. Order a few months out, and treat this as the easiest line to cut: skipping favors entirely is completely fine and nobody remembers the table that was not there.
