bomboniere
"bomboniere" is a commonly known and used loan word in Australia (generally only in the plural, even individually, and often with a very Aussie pronunciation!) I believe some UK and US producers refer to them this way too. I know here it is much more commonly used than favours, although I immediately recognise the meaning of favours too.
