Strawberry lip balm is a small thing to hand a kid, and it is reliably the first favor claimed out of the bag. This one is a single strawberry-scented balm, and the color arrives assorted, red or pink, so a stack of them looks gathered rather than matched. Order a handful for a fruit stand birthday, a berry picking party, or a summer playdate, and let the assortment do the styling for you. As a goodie bag filler it beats another plastic trinket, because this is the rare kids lip balm that gets used until it runs out instead of living at the bottom of a drawer. It is small enough to tuck into a lunch box, a pencil case, or a stocking, which is how it keeps earning its place long after the party. Set a few along the table and it reads as part of the place setting rather than an afterthought.
Is lip balm the same as ChapStick? Lip balm is the general product category, while ChapStick is a specific brand name people often use generically. Both describe a waxy balm applied to the lips to seal in moisture.
