Bonbonniere

---

A bonbonniere or bonbonnière (from French bonbonnière [bɔ̃bɔnjɛʁ], lit. 'container of candies'), less commonly spelt bonboniere or bomboniere (Italian: [bomboˈnjɛːre], singular bomboniera [bomboˈnjɛːra]), is a small decorative container used to hold sweets. It can take various forms (box, dish, or fabric pouch) and may be offered as a party favor on special occasions such as weddings, baptisms, First Communions or confirmations. Often regarded as a precursor to the bonbonniere was the drageoir, an earlier type of container used during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance primarily for dragees (sugar-coated almonds). When presented as a bag, a bonbonniere is typically made of tulle or satin and tied with ribbons, and contains five Jordan almonds, with the almonds symbolizing health, wealth, happiness, fertility and long life. The almonds are white for a wedding, First Communion or Confirmation; pink or light-blue for the birthday or baptism of a girl or boy; red for a graduation; and silver or gold for 25 or 50 year anniversaries. Often they are adorned with dried natural flowers or artificial flowers made of silk or paper. The bag is often given stored inside a small vessel made of silver, crystal or porcelain. In Australia, a bonbonniere is a party favor given out at weddings, first holy communions and the like. Such gifts may take the form of a wine bottle stopper, glass vase or picture frame as well as the more traditional sugared almonds in decorative bags.
