You’ve got the games planned, the friends and family invited, and the menu planned. It looks like you’re well on your way to being ready for your baby shower, congratulations! But every hostess wants her guests to feel welcome and appreciated, and a great way to do this is by giving out baby shower favors. Many favors only cost a couple of dollars, but are still creative and classy gifts to commemorate the occasion. Below are some of the hottest baby shower favors out there today. Without a doubt there is something for every taste, including yours.
Cookie Cutters
The cookie cutter is a wonderful gift because it is not only practical, it is also very sweet. For baby showers cookie cutters can be in the shape of a bottle, rocking horse, or maybe the child’s initials. A wonderful addition to the cookie cutter is a small poem written by the parents that celebrates their impending addition.
Personalized Coffee Favors
Coffee favors are an all time favorite. You could put your name and the shower date on the package along with a cute saying like “a baby is brewing”. Include an engraved coffee scooper for a truly special favor.
Candles
Candles make wonderful favors for all types of guests. Many candles are in tins topped with customized labels made especially for your baby shower. You can also buy candles in special shapes, from bottles to stars, to flowers. A candle also makes a great addition to a gift bag that includes bath goodies, for a truly relaxing favor.
Bath Goodies
Mentioned above, bath products make a wonderfully relaxing favor. Buy pink or blue soaps or lotions depending on the sex of the baby, and have the labels custom made with your name and shower date. If you are having an all gal baby shower let your girly side come out, and buy bath products with wonderful scents that all your guests will coo over.
Picture Frames
Picture frames are a useful and beautiful way to commemorate your baby shower. Make sure to take lots of pictures with all of your friends and family at the shower, and once they are developed send some out so that guests can fill their picture frame up with a special reminder of how much fun they had at your shower. Picture frames can also be engraved to become a truly heirloom quality gift.
Tasty Treats
From personalized cookies to candied almonds, everyone loves a bit of candy. You can put these treats in cute little take out cartons, or wrap them in tulle and ribbon and place them on the table for your guests to eat. Whatever you choose your guests will truly be appreciative for the chance to salve their sweet tooth.
Your baby shower is truly a special and fun day, and your favors should be part of the fun. Enjoy being creative and putting your own special touch on whatever favors you do decide to give out. Your guests will be thrilled, and the spirit of giving will make you just as happy as well.
