I want to order a party favor to give out

I'm looking for ideas....I know I can give a megilas Esther , but to stay in my budget I would have to give a very simple and small one.

OTOH, I can get a beautiful bencher for the same price - but I feel silly missing out on the opportunity to connect it to Purim when the bar mitzvah is so close to Purim

Any other ideas ? what other kind of Jewish party favor can I give that's connected to Purim?

(I was thinking about a gragger - but just imagining the kids at the bar mitzvah having fun with them is making my head hurt Smile

)

My brother bar mitzvah was before purim and megilas Esther combined with benching was given. It's useful because it's small compact, there was always another one needed besides for the official one.

We still use it over 25 yrs ago

We gave out a simple ($2.50) Megilat Esther 11 years ago. People still come up to show it to me in shul on Purim. How many Benchers do you have in your drawer?

As your kids get older you go from needing 1 Megila to 3,4,5,6... And it's the type of thing you often don't think about til you're nearly out the door. A simple one is great.

I agree with the idea of a megillas esther. It's always useful and I have a drawer full of bentchers, bot not that many megillos.

I also say megilla.

Side note- I am making a bar mitzvah soon. Where do ppl get benchers etc? What's the normal price ppl pay?

My niece (whose name is Esther, incidentally) gave out Megillas Esther (Artscroll) at her Bas Mitzvah.
BAH she is married with 4 kids and we still use them. We think of her every Purim!
