Sea Shell
What are those flat circle sea shell things that have a star implanted on them?

I found one in Mexico, it has like 5 holes in it. It actually doesn't even look naturally made.

The answers above are correct but let me add some information. A sand dollar is a marine animal named after its flattish, round shape that resembles a large coin. Sand dollars belong to a class of animals known as Echinoids and are close relatives of the sea urchin and starfish. Many people are familiar with sand dollars that have washed up on the beach, becoming bleached by the sun to a light sandy color. When a sand dollar is alive however, it is darker in color and covered by tiny, mobile spines.
A sand dollar has a characteristic 5-petal design on its back produced by sets of large pores. In a living sand dollar, rows of tiny tubular feet extend up through the pores. These respiratory stalks or podia act as gills by flushing water through the sand dollar to keep the animal oxygenated.

Inspire A Sea Holiday With Beach Wedding Favors

Inspire a sea holiday with beach wedding favors for your guests. Even though not everyone gets a glorious beach wedding, you can bring the beach to your summer wedding by choosing tropical wedding favors.

Who wouldn't love to have a beach wedding with the waves crashing the shore and the sand between your toes! Beach wedding favors should treat your guests to a day that is hard to forget. Beach weddings are always more laid back and inspiring. Summer says sea and sand and weddings.

Be a dreamer and plan your beach wedding to be relaxing and romantic. Set the mood for your guests. Use all of summer's beauty and emphasize the sand and the ocean. Make every detail of your beach wedding radiate joy and peace.

Useful and practical beach wedding favors can easily be found. But the favors can also be magic because they can bring back the joyful memories of summer with her bounty of stunning gifts. The useful summer favors can help lift spirits in the dead of winter and that is spreading joy across the seasons.

You can incorporate your summer wedding theme into your favors. Many designs indicate colorful images of summertime and can be detailed on various items. Sea shells on candles and beach chairs on picture frames are popular items. Flip flop designs are part of summer and bring to mind the fun on the beach at the lake or the ocean. Candy favors shaped like shells and sea creatures will sweetly remind your guest of summer's joys and your wedding day.

Since the wedding favors are little "thank you for being here" gifts from you to the guests, take some time to choose them and make sure the guests will feel appreciated for being part of your day. This is a more important task in the wedding planning than you might think. Make the favors fun that people from all ages want to keep or use. It is the thought that is important in the selection, not how much you spend. Select favors that will help your guests to remember a special vacation or good times that made them happy and relaxed. In the long run, all your efforts to choose the right favors are rewarded.
