)A baby shower is such a joyous occasion for everyone in attendance. It’s a chance to honor the mother-to-be and her little one with things they’ll both need. Gifting guests with a favor from your baby shower isn’t a must, but it’s a nice gesture and recommended! Personally, I love giving unique items as favors that guests can use. But there are so many options you could do, like home décor, beauty products, edible goodies, and even environmentally friendly favors. Just be sure to choose something that fits your baby shower’s theme and your personality. We have a whole list of our favorites below!
Here are some baby shower favor ideas to spark your imagination for a gift to give your guests:

Candles are always a good idea! This adorable candle is perfect for any guest, and I love that you can personalize it. These candles are 2.25 inches tall and 4 ounces, and they’re made without dyes. It’s also convenient that you can order them in cute boxes for the people you want to thank.

How cute are these mini spatulas?! These are super practical baby shower favors that everyone could use in their kitchen. I like how you can choose the perfect color that matches your theme and personalize it with your shower details. If you have a “bun in the oven” themed shower, this is the favor for you! The next time your guests whip something up, they will think of you and your sweet babe.

I hosted a baby sprinkle for a friend years ago, and the baby shower favors I chose were mini picture frames to give the guests. I chose multiple styles so guests could pick the frame they preferred, and I included a printed “Thank You” sign inside the frames. During the baby shower, I took pictures of the guests with the mom-to-be and printed out copies for her to have. When she sent out her thank-you cards to guests, she included the photo in her card for them to put into their frame. I thought it was such a sweet way for them to remember that special day!

In my opinion, a pashmina shawl always comes in handy. You can easily wear it as an accessory or to add extra warmth. This shawl is made of viscose and measures 72 inches by 30-32 inches. Everyone needs one (or a few) of these in their closet! It’s also great to gift if you’re planning for your event to be outdoors or during the colder months.

As an avid reader, I love bookmarks. I believe you can never have enough. These precious Peter Rabbit ones are great to hold anyone’s place in a book. Each one is a little more than 5 inches by 2 inches, includes a crinkled blue ribbon tie, and is individually packaged in a clear sleeve for each guest. This is a cute option if you’re doing a children’s book-themed or Peter Rabbit-themed baby shower.

This favor is a unique idea, and it’s especially great if your shower is during the warmer months. This collapsible wooden fan is a little more than 8 inches closed and is 14 inches by 8 inches when open. It’s made of sandalwood, and you can personalize it on the handle for your guests. It’s the perfect item to have in your purse during summer!
