Lovely baby shower prizes and
favors to thrill guests at showers

Many guests love to win little baby shower prizes at these celebrations. I guess it's a carry over from our school days when we all wanted to win something desirable! Therefore, apart from having favors (if that's a tradition in your area), giving out baby shower prizes for winners at games, etc is a great idea. And favors, of course, are a great way of expressing your gratitude to the guests for their presence and their contribution.

Winning these gifts is not the reason anyone comes to such events; so keep baby shower prizes simple but elegant. Pretty much the same advice goes for favors as well.

Try out some of these ideas.

• Candles, along with a poem. There are lovely candles available in many stores, plus many online.
• Bath items, including soaps in baby related shapes, lotions, etc. These make cute and useful baby shower prizes & favors.
• Tea bags, along with tiny cup and saucers. This is a natural one if you are having a tea party shower.
• A little gift basket with any of a great variety of items.
• A small picture frame. One hostess took instant snaps of each guest with the mom-to-be, put the photo into a picture frame and gave it to the guests! Great idea for personalized shower prizes or favors!
• A small, ornamental vase, with fresh cut flowers.
• Box of chocolates in cute shapes.
• Like tea bags, another idea is gourmet coffee. Add coffee mugs too, if you wish!
• Candy bars, perhaps personalized ones.
• Some guests prefer books as baby shower prizes or favors. You can choose a little one with inspirational sayings, or maybe 'self-help' books like the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, etc. Or even a joke book!
• Wine glasses tied together attractively with ribbons.
• Place holders of various kinds.
• A blank journal is another great choice.
• Cookies in baby related shapes.
• Trees or ornamental plants from the baby. This can be terrific gifts and favors. Alternatively, you can give packets of seeds as well.
• Give out soup mugs, with a little recipe book for novel soups.
• Small sized soft toys make great prizes and favors too.
