California Wedding Favors & Event Gifts

Old California Botanicals makes small, giftable things by hand in Southern California's historic Citrus Belt: beeswax lip balm, artisan soap, botanical candles, and award-winning citrus marmalade. They make unusually good wedding favors, party favors, and event gifts, because they are useful, regional, and actually made by someone.

If you are looking for unique wedding favors that guests will keep rather than leave on the table, this is what we can do.

Favors by type

Lip balm favors

Our California beeswax lip balms are the most popular favor we make. They travel well, they cost little per guest, and people genuinely use them. Available in citrus flavors like Navel orange, Eureka lemon, Ojai Pixie tangerine, and pink grapefruit, and in botanical flavors like California rose, lavender, and wild violet. Wedding lip balm favors and bridal shower lip balm favors can be ordered in quantity.

Soap favors

Small-batch California citrus and botanical bar soaps make substantial, good-looking soap wedding favors, especially for garden weddings and at-home celebrations.

Edible and gourmet favors

Our California citrus marmalade works as an edible wedding favor and a gourmet wedding favor that guests take home and actually eat. Marmalade wedding favors suit brunch weddings, farm and grove venues, and anything with a food-forward menu.

Candle favors

Hand-poured botanical candles in orange blossom, rose, and lavender for events where you want the favor to carry some weight.

Garden, citrus, and California weddings

If your wedding leans into California, a garden, or citrus, our products are not a generic favor with a label on it. Orange wedding favors and citrus wedding favors made from actual California grove fruit fit the theme because they come from it.

Botanical wedding favors and garden wedding favors also work well for spring and summer celebrations, bridal showers, and baby showers.

Welcome bags and destination weddings

Hotels, planners, and couples use our products as wedding welcome bag products and event welcome gifts. For a California wedding welcome bag or a destination wedding in California, a lip balm, a small soap, and a jar of marmalade tell guests where they are.

We also supply hotel welcome bag products for properties running their own programs.

For event planners and favor companies

Event planners, favor companies, and caterers can order in quantity. We offer event favors wholesale, party favors wholesale, and wedding favors wholesale pricing, with approachable minimums.

Tell us your guest count, your date, and the look you are going for, and we will tell you what is realistic. For ongoing resale rather than a single event, see our wholesale page.

Corporate events and conferences

The same products work as conference gifts, event welcome gifts, and California event gifts for corporate programs. For client and employee gifting, see our corporate gifting page.

Made in California, Made in USA

Everything is made by hand in California by a company rooted in generations of California agriculture. California-made wedding favors carry a story that an imported bulk favor cannot.
