BABY SHOWER FAVOR IDEAS
* Small potted plants would make cute favors.
If you have plants of your own a good value alternative to purchasing them, is to take cuttings and plant in small pots; tie a ribbon around the pots in a color that coordinates with the baby shower colors or theme.
Or cut felt into triangles; put these around the little pots then fold up the bottom corner, then the other two corners to make a diaper. Secure with a diaper pin. The felt could be a color that coordinates with your shower theme colors.
* Candy, Jordan almonds or Hershey kisses, in tulle, favor boxes, or cellophane bags tied with a bow, and personalized with a little baby related charm, wrapped candy bars and chocolate lollipops are always popular choices.
* Homemade cookies are a nice idea, there are lots of cookie cutter shapes to choose from, a teddy, ducky or bunny would be cute; small currants could be used for the eyes. Or cut the biscuits into rounds and decorate with icing to resemble a baby’s ball.
* Small soaps are available in lots of sweet shapes. Try to find a shape that is appropriate for a baby shower. A soap could then be presented in a cellophane bag and tied with ribbon or raffia.
* Seeds are a favor that your guests will get a lot of pleasure from. Perhaps something with "baby" in the name.
* Making your own potpourri sachets is easy, they make an excellent affordable favor that your guests will adore and can then use to give their linen or clothes a delicate scent; just purchase some pretty colored sachet bags, and half to two-thirds fill with potpourri.
Add a baby charm, or choose sachets bags, bows or ribbons that match your theme.
* Candles wrapped in tulle, or simply tied with ribbons that coordinate with the baby shower colors, pretty & practical.
All of these can be made and wrapped to coordinate with the colors you've chosen, which, by the way, I LOVE!
Take care, have fun, and God bless!
