Bonbonnière

A bonbonniere or bonbonnière, less commonly spelt bonboniere or bomboniere, is a small decorative container used to hold sweets. It can take various forms 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.
