Baby shower favors are an important part of a baby shower. If you are in charge of hosting a baby shower, do not let the baby shower favors throw you for a loop. They do not have to break the bank.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Baby shower favors are usually placed on the table where the shower guests will be sitting. If you are not having a formal seating arrangement you can simply place baby shower favors in baskets and tell your guest to get their favors before they leave. A good rule of thumb when it comes to a baby shower is the more guests you have, the simpler the baby shower favors should be. Here is a list of baby shower favors that are always popular.

  2. Step 2

    Nice baby shower party favors can include some of the following:

    * Small hand lotions
    * Wrapped up cookies and sweet treats
    * Small scented hand soaps
    * Candles
    * Coffee mugs
    * Gourmet coffee samples
    * Herbal tea samples
    * Flower seeds
    * Ink pens that match the theme or color
    * Small notepads
    * Perfume samples
    * Bath beads
    * Small picture frames

  3. Step 3

    Remember, you do not have to spend a fortune to have nice baby shower favors. Many times you can purchase these items in bulk. If you are truly fortunate and you are hosting a small baby shower you may luck out and have someone donate items. For instance, if you drop by your local department store’s perfume counter and tell them what you are doing, they may donate free perfume samples. Likewise, if you drop by your nearest bath and body store they may donate free samples of a new soap or lotion they are marketing.

  4. Step 4

    The most important thing you can keep in mind when it comes to baby shower favors is to make sure they are functional. You would not give out baby bibs or rattles to the baby shower guests. If you make sure the baby shower favors you choose match the personality and style of your guests, not only will your baby shower favors be a big hit, but you will, too. Don’t be surprised if you become “the person” to go to for baby shower advice.
