We’re big fans of edible wedding favors—especially the kind that feel a little upscale without trying too hard.
Enter: the mini olive oil bottle.
Whether you go with classic extra virgin or opt for something infused (think rosemary, garlic, or chili), these little bottles make a practical, elegant gift that won’t end up in the trash (heads up: we have more practical wedding favors right here). Some couples even bundle them with a small balsamic vinegar bottle or a sprig of fresh herbs for a DIY dipping set guests will actually want to take home.
You can personalize them if you want—but as always, keep it subtle.
These wedding favor ideas are especially great if you’re hosting a rustic, Italian-inspired, or food-centric celebration. Bonus: They double as table décor and conversation starters, which makes them a win-win in our book.
Evil Eye Olive Oil Soap
Handmade and individually wrapped, each palm-sized bar riffs on the ancient protective symbol in a way that feels more aesthetic than amulet. The design’s sharp, the vibe’s modern-Mediterranean, and the olive oil base means your guests get something that won’t dry out their hands or their dignity. Honestly, it’s dead useful while still feeling a little mystical. The evil eye motif isn’t just for Instagram — it’s a subtle and smart nod for weddings leaning into bold colors, destination vibes, or the general desire to keep weird energy out of your day. And despite the layered symbolism, these favors don’t take themselves too seriously. They’re tiny, punchy, entirely giftable — and no one’s going to secretly think you raided the clearance aisle at a party store. If your wedding leans less “flower crown in a meadow” and more “late summer rooftop with mezze,” this soap fits. It’s elegant without fuss and useful without looking like a hotel freebie. Protection, hydration, and a decent design sense — your guests could do a lot worse.
