Baby showers symbolize the joyous celebration of welcoming a newborn into the family. Baby showers are the parties thrown for expectant mothers. They are generally non-relative- in the sense they are usually given by friends or co- workers. Baby showers bring excitement along with loads of gifts for the baby as well as the mom-to-be and the people who throw the shower.

Baby shower favors are the gifts given to the guests who attend the baby shower. They are given by the host or hostess. Although they are a common feature, baby shower favors may not be a tradition in some areas, while they may be a compulsory feature in some regions. It is better to gain some information from some local friends or by attending some baby showers to know if baby shower favors can be given to the guests.

Baby shower favors are generally small cute gifts like candies, candles, decorative pieces, or potpourri wrapped beautifully in small kits. They can be homemade to provide exclusivity or to conform to the theme of the baby shower. Some examples are candies in baby socks, baby-themed crosswords, cookies shaped as fun characters, small plants, small mugs, shower soaps and gels decorated according to the theme, fridge magnets decorated with a picture of the mom and/or the baby, baby bottle shaped candles, or baby booties filled with candy.

There are many stores that offer baby shower favors exclusively. There are also personalized gifts according to the theme of the baby shower. There is also a lot of information on the internet in websites that offer exclusive information relating to baby showers that also contain some great ideas and even ready-to-assemble kits for baby shower favors. In any case, it is a good chance to be as creative as possible and to make the baby shower a memorable occasion for the parents-to-be as well as for the guests.
