Cute Ideas for Baby Shower Favors
Even though guests shouldn’t expect to leave any party with anything, it is always a nice gesture to give parting guests a favor. Here are some instructions for simple, cute and easy baby shower favor ideas that you can make at home. By making the favors yourself, not only can you save money, but the handmade favors can be personalized easily!
Baby Bottles- Can be filled with chocolate, candies, Jordan almonds, jelly beans, bath beads or bath salts. Tie ribbon around the neck with a tag that says “Thank You” with the mom’s and baby’s names on it.
Baby Booties- Filled with candies, wrapped chocolates, gum balls, you can tie these at the tops with ribbons and a tag, much like the baby bottles.
Organza Bags- You can find these in the wedding section of most major craft retailers or on eBay or from stores like Oriental Trading. Fill with candies, bath salts, chocolates, etc.
Plastic Bottles or Glass Jars- It’s not too hard to find these types of containers. If you don’t see them locally, search online and you can order them in large quantities. Fill them with bath salts, bubble bath, shower gel or even baby powder. You can tie a tag on them that talks about showering them like they showered the mom-to-be!
Coffee Mugs- Some baby shower hostesses have purchased tea cups or coffee mugs and a flat of flowers and put one flower in each mug for a beautiful favor.
Flower Pots- With a cute tag telling the recipient to nurture their plant as the new mom will nurture her new baby, you could give guests small flower pots and seed packets or bulbs for tulips or daffodils for them to plant and grow some flowers.
There are so many ways you can make inexpensive favors that your baby shower guests will really love. Even something as simple as a bar of glycerin soap tied with a pretty ribbon is a nice gift most people will enjoy. Look for sales and clearance items to really save money, but have the look of an expensive gift.
Baby shower favors that you make at home are personal gifts that add a great touch. Not only does it make your guests happy, but it shows the mom-to-be that you care for her friends, too! Have fun making your homemade baby shower favors!
