22 Jul 2010 Inexpensive Baby Shower Favor Ideas

A baby shower is undoubtedly the most joyous event in a woman’s life. A magical happiness and a sense of joy touch every expectant mother when family and friends come to celebrate the approaching birth of a new baby. Decorations, treats, presents and favors help create a festive atmosphere.

But if you are looking to plan a baby shower on a moderate budget, you can go about making a cake at home, buy decorations from a discount store and look for cute but inexpensive favors to give away to your guests. Baby shower giveaways such as baby photo frames, crystal baby booty or a baby shower sailboat are inexpensive and will make each guest feel welcome and appreciated as well as be a keepsake and reminder of the special event.

You can even consider a Thanks for Strolling By!” Baby Carriage Notebook Gift Set for your guests. These adorable little mulberry paper covered notebooks are handcrafted with tiny details – a sweet baby carriage made from buttons, lace, ribbons and everything nice.

An Over the Moon” Vintage Moon Bookmark with Tassel in Nursery Rhyme Keepsake Book Box also makes a great baby shower favor. The unique bookmark is made of metal in the shape of a yellow half-moon with a royal blue tassel attached. The adorable packaging is even more nostalgic! Front cover of book-shaped gift box features cat playing his fiddle under starry skies, with phrase “Hey, diddle, diddle… the cat and the fiddle…” at top. Open book to continue the rhyme! Back of box reveals an adorable graphic of the “dish running away with the spoon”

If you want to gift your guests something out of the ordinary, then an About to Pop!” Popcorn Favor Box can be a great choice. Just like the popcorn box we get at the movie theater, only this time, a new mom is the star of the show! Just fill them with a sweet treat or, to truly make it authentic, why not fill these adorable favor boxes with real popcorn kernels so guests can pop a bowl of popcorn at home!

Shopping for baby shower favors can be fun but in addition to being fancy and attractive, the baby shower favors should actually include things that can be useful for the guests. A useful baby shower favor will always be much more appreciated and remembered.
