35 Baby Shower Favors Guests Love

By Saira Perl

Baby shower favors are definitely not necessary.

Most guests will be happy with some good food, lively company and an entertaining game or two.

But many hostesses love to offer baby shower favors for guests at the end of the baby shower.

For me, a baby shower favor is only really worth it if it’s something guests can actually use.

Here are some baby shower favors that are actually worth buying, because your guests will LOVE receiving them.

Baby Shower Favors

These are the best baby shower favors I’ve seen.

I LOVE pink nail polish as baby shower favors for girls.

So girly & pink, not to mention chic and current.

You might want to hand these out personally to guests as they leave, so they don’t all end up in one guests handbag!

Don’t worry – there are some gorgeous blue polishes available too.

There’s everything from baby blue to indigo to metallic blue to perfectly match your baby shower favors for boys with your theme.

Baby Shower Favors to Eat

Another great way to go for baby shower favors is baby shower favors you can eat!

Here are some unique edible baby shower favor ideas – click on any of the pictures for full details.

I love these pink chocolate kisses or blue cookies & cream kisses as edible baby shower favors.

Who doesn’t love snacking on a sweet or two after leaving a party?

This baby shower favor gives you both – a keepsake AND a sweet treat. All you need are these cute jars sold in bulk and some candy to match.

If you REALLY want to go all out, you can get a candy table, which is a gorgeous decoration AND baby shower favor all in one!

Clever, right??

I love these because you can use these as pretty decorations and then give them away to your guests & mom-to be during or after the baby shower.

Who can say no to these Chocolate Covered Oreo Sprinkle Pops?

You can choose from pre-made designs like “It’s a Boy”, “It’s a Girl”, “Blue or Pink?” or even upload your own!

Another delicious favorite are these White Chocolate Covered Oreo Cookies shaped like Baby Blocks.

You can find these in pink, yellow, blue or green.

Personalized Baby Shower Favors

You’ll find an endless supply of customizable baby shower favors from Etsy here.

I love shopping on Etsy because not only will you find unique items, you’re also supporting small businesses – many of them run by women & moms from their home.

If you know the baby’s gender, name or due date, you can easily add these details to create a really special keepsake for your guests.

If you’d rather buy from bigger businesses, items like these personalized glass coasters are thoughtful keepsakes.

You can completely design the wording, colors & pictures.

These bottle openers are a personal favorite of mine – completely customizable & super practical.

There are many different theme choices.

These are PERFECT for coed baby showers!

They work for gender reveal parties too!

These customized glasses make beautiful party decorations and will definitely be used again & again.

Cookie cutters are always popular and go nicely with pretty much every baby shower theme.

A more classic favor, these heart-shaped measuring spoons (already boxed & wrapped with a ribbon!) are both pretty & practical.

They also work with any theme – great if you don’t know the gender of the baby yet.

Your guests will think you spent a fortune (but you won’t have!) on this adorable white ceramic sugar bowl.

The bowl comes with a lid and is decorated with “Sugar & Spice” on one side of the bowl and “Everything Nice” on the other, all written in silver lettering.

This baby shower favor comes already boxed with a ribbon & gift tag – very pretty to display & very little extra work for you!

Personalized favors are a guaranteed way to show mom-to-be how much you care.

With so many choices available, it can be hard to choose!

Personalized gifts are perfect for when that handmade baby shower favor project goes out the window!

Here are a few more gorgeous personalized baby shower favor ideas.

Baby Shower Game Prizes

By Saira Perl

There are lots of fun baby shower game ideas, and I like prizes based on the game theme.

If the mom-to-be is having a baby girl, I LOVE this pink nail polish with the “It’s a Girl” tag (although blue would work too!).

Ultra-Cool USB Stick

Be the coolest host around with these pretty & handy USB sticks! Coming in a variety of colors & not at all expensive, you get all the fun of a toy with the practicality of a grown up!

Pampered Pedi

A Personal Pedi Foot Care System will go great with the previous gifts as a theme – nail polish, lotion, pedicure. This would be the BIG prize to give out toward the end of game play.

Another adorable way to present a prize with a homemade touch is with this “Pedicure in a Jar” consisting of basic pedicure tools, nail polish (1-2 polishes per jar), and cotton rounds all tied together in something like a mason jar.

To really personalize, order these round labels for the lids to match with you baby shower theme colors.

How to make it yourself:

Personalized Mason Jars
Personalized Labels
Nail Polish
Cotton Rounds
Nail Brush
Basic Pedicure Tools

I’m a sucker for any kind of stationery. Depending on your guests, you might want to stay away from anything too “crafty”, and stay with more generic (but cute) office supplies that everyone can use.

These gorgeous note packs come in a dozen different themes.

Vicotoria’s Secret Pink Lotion comes in a variety of lovely bottles & is oh so girly.

These prizes are perfect for these FREE baby shower games!

#1 – Baby Shower Scattergories is available in 5 different versions for free download! Choose from a normal version (boy names, girl names, baby brands) or for a crazy group checkout my FREE Adults Only version! Once the laughter finishes & the scores are tallied, a nice gift for the winner would be a game of Scattergories to take away! Another fun way to go would be a pretty notepad set (maybe as a 2nd prize).

#2 – Baby Gift Bingo winners could be given an item from the actual bingo card (gift card, frame, pretty towel). You may want to have 2 prizes ready for this game if you continue to play until someone crosses off all the items on their bingo card.

#3 – Who’s That Baby? uses guests baby photos, so a photo frame would work really well. I like these photo album flip frames because they make excellent gifts.

#4 – Diaper Change people either love or hate. I think it’s a good game for guys to play at a coed baby shower. Once they have their fill of chocolate and dirty diapers, the winner should be happy with a 6-pack of beer. You could really up the ante by giving out any of these “mustache” themed items (who knew there were so many to choose from??)!

#5 – Mommy Mad Libs has an obvious prize choice, as there are so many Mad Libs booklets to chose from – girls just wanna have fun, diva girl, in love, happily ever after, worst-case scenario survival handbook, etc). Your guests will love the nostalgia, and your wallet will love the price!

Coed Baby Shower Prizes

Duct Tape has been popular with men for a while, but now it is all the rage with women & even teenagers!

For coed baby showers Duct Tape comes in all kinds of prints now – a prize guaranteed to be both entertaining & useful!

Print out some of these Duct Tape craft ideas to go with the prize for a real laugh!

These Slipper Genie slippers double as mops! If these don’t get a good laugh, I don’t know what will… and then they will get used! They come in a variety of colors: pink, green, purple, taupe, black. You’re welcome! LOL

More fun & funny choices for coed games coming soon! If all else fails, gift cards to popular stores are always appreciated.
