I keep them for a while, and then when I clean the house, they go in the garbage....

Although I have seen people use our favors -pear- shaped salt and pepper shakers ('The perfect pear') when we come over for dinner.... so thats nice to see....

Honestly, unless it's something amazing or that I can use like a mini-bottle of wine or a candle holder, maybe a wine bottle stopper then no.

Unfortunately, those kinds of favors are the more expensive ones.

I keep them for a while then I toss them, it becomes clutter after a while.

Most of them are 'useless' to me.

I only kept one from one wedding. It was coasters so I kept them without someone's photo or name on it.

Otherwise, I love eatable favors. You don't feel guilty trashing it.

I only keep ones that have a sentimental value to them. I had a great aunt (she passed away) who made a special favor for me. So I kept that and BF's baby-shower favor. Otherwise sorry to say I throw it out. I have allergies and cant keep too many things that catch alot of dust.
