Planning a baby shower is all about creating a joyful, memorable experience for the parents-to-be. Of course, you also want to make sure guests leave feeling appreciated, and thoughtful baby shower favors are an easy way to thank friends and family for attending. Luckily, these unique picks are sold in bulk and most arrive pre-wrapped, so you don't have to spend more money or time making them look pretty.
You can go with something edible, like a tiny jar of honey with a personalized label or tea tubes filled with unique varieties (like whole rose buds). Stick with the "baby in bloom" theme with wildflower seeds or a tiny succulent that can serve as a reminder of your little one. Self-care items like candles, handmade soaps, and chapsticks will always get put to good use.
Personalize these matchbox labels with two lines of text and choose your font color. They come as a set of 50. If you want to add a little something extra, feel free to send everyone home with a small candle.
Something edible is always a great idea, especially when it's packaged to look this cute. There's a classic Winnie the Pooh pattern and it says "Thank You For Celebrating With Us." They can drizzle the honey in tea or on toast, and leave it right out on the counter.
These mini succulents (sold as a pack of 20) represent growth and new beginnings—just like the baby shower. They come in a growing planter, so I'd recommend tying them in a ribbon for gifting.
No need to spend money on expensive gourmet popcorn. With these bags, you can wrap up your favorite store-bought brand and have it look just as professional! You can even add personalization.
These angel cake-scented lip balm sticks are cute as a stand-alone favor, especially since it's by a brand many of us know and trust. The set includes 10.
Leave your guests with something to sip on thanks to these adorable tea tubes filled unique tea varieties, like chamomile, jasmine, rose, hibiscus, or mint lemon. The seller offers 19 designs for the personalized note, or you can write your own.
These handmade hearts contain wildflower seeds, which will sprout in one to six weeks when planted in soil. Each seed paper (there are 50) features a writable surface for personal notes, like "Baby in Bloom."
Made with natural oils and essences, these handmade soaps arrive beautifully wrapped. Choose from 50 different tag options and 10 flower colors, plus 11 soap colors or the option to upload a custom shade.
These natural soy wax candles come in patterned tins, ready to gift. The message on the lid encourages guests to lit it after the baby is born. This one has a woodland-theme, but there are other designs.
When in doubt, go with plants. You'll get six mini terracotta pots and growing cactus medium pellets. There's also a variety pack that includes cactus, poppy, daisy, sunflower, and forget-me-not grow kits.
Guests can go home and grow wildflowers with these personalized seed packets, which contain a fragrant mix (between 250 and 300 seeds) of annuals and perennials. While mama finishes growing her little one, they can watch as they grow something special of their own. You'll get 15 packets for $45, or you can buy a larger quantity.
You can pass out these 24 shea butter-enriched bottle lotions randomly or let your guests pick their favorite. The scents include coconut, avocado, wild rose, lavender, and lime.
Better save one of these for mama after she gives birth—she's earned herself a cold one! For the rest of the group, they can use it to toast to the mom-to-be. They come as a set of 20 and there are a range of color options.
Adorned with a thank you note, these mini dried flower bouquets double as magnets for their refrigerator. They arrive as a set of 20 and there are six color options, including pink, blue, orange, and purple.
