Baby shower Favors

[nat77]

I would love some help trying to help my stepsister and they are on a budget

Here are some ideas I found...

* Small potted plants make lovely 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 white or this too could coordinate with the baby shower 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, are not only pretty but practical too.

 

*Buy a cheap baby bottle and put candy in it. You could also personalize it.

 

*Buy bath saltz and put them in a cheap baby bottle. Pink and white for girl, Blue and white for boy...

The Cooking with Paula Deen magazine from the spring had party ideas in it. I would have to look to see exactly which issue, but there was a section on baby showers and there were some very cute ideas. I thought the best one was some pacifiers she made out of life savers and royal icing. It was super easy and very cute!
