Best & Worst wedding favors?

What have been the best and worst wedding favors you've received from a wedding? I really don't wanna waste $$ on something guests are going to leave at the table or toss the second they get home!

    @miranda bubbles are the WORST imo. Such a waste of money and plastic.

    So maybe a dumb question: were doing a photo booth and everyone that's in any given picture gets a copy of it. The photographer presented it to us that those could be our "favors." Would you guys consider that a favor or just a cool little something?

    With my dads recent passing, we were considering a treat bar with some of his all time favorite sweets & snacks.

    @kristen heck yeah that's an awesome favor!!

    ETA: my cousins did the photo strip, as well as a magnetic photo strip holder for everyone as their favors. Everyone loved it!! Still on our fridge years later!

    We have small things of candy on each table and bags to take some home in. I am also placing everyone's photo booth pics in with their own thank you cards. It's not much, but why would anyone care about anything with my name and wedding date on it?!

    I'm in the minority but I love getting koozies.

    Worst (but still cute) was a key chain. It was related to the groom's heritage/nationality as he is not from the US. I understood the point, but I don't really want or need extra things on my key ring.

    My FMIL is trying to get me to do jordan almonds which I refuse to do. I was thinking of doing a big cookie.

    @Kristen I saw a post this weekend where the bride was having a photo booth but got those clear plastic frames with a magnet on the back. She had an insert made to explain what it was for and thanking the guests. It was really cute. She got the frames off of Amazon and the inserts off etsy I think.

    Worst would be wristbands for free beer while it lasted but not everyone gets one.

    Worst Favor: Hmmm, so many. Was it the little bell with the wedding couple's name and date? The coaster with the wedding couple's name and date? The cheap, heart shaped measuring spoons? I rather crack my teeth on some Jordan almonds.

    Best Favor: A full bottle of wine (and it wasn't crappy wine either).

    @ Nonna - LOL!!!

    We did mini bottles of homemade liquor/syrup. None were left! The worst...bags of stale popcorn (and I usually love popcorn).

    Best: one of my best friends' wedding - chukar chocolate covered cherries. There were some no shows at my table, and I helped myself to their favors. Worst: my other best friend's wedding. I was MOH - the favors were homemade almond brittle that she and her husband made. I'm allergic to nuts. I think other people liked the favor though as it was edible. We didn't have formal favors, but had s'mores kits (bc venue had a bonfire) at our wedding. We also sent people's photo booth pics in their thank you cards.
