Shower favor ideas?

Mrsjulybride

I'm throwing a shower for my sister in 2 weeks and need some fun favor ideas. I'm ok with candy in a cute container or something but want to avoid the things that people never use (i.e. teddy bear candles, etc.). Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

I'm a big fan of food as shower favors. ?It's actually something that people will use. ?I threw a shower for my cousin a few years ago and I did baby themed cookies on a stick (bottle, rubber duckie, teddy bear, and a diaper). ?I then put the cookies in a flower pot and filled it with mints that people could snack on during the shower. ?

My shower was a "pumpkin" theme b/c I"m due right around Halloween. My mom orderd pumpkin spice cupcakes with orange sprinkles from a local bakery and put them in little take-out boxes for favors. They were a big hit.

She also put little pumpkins/gourds (stems dipped in gold glitter...she saw this on Martha Stewart halloween party ideas) at everyone's table place setting for decoration and surprisingly people took them home with them? I dont think they were "meant" to be favors, but people loved them and acted like they were!

I'd love to be specific, as I am RIGHT NOW in the middle of making the favors for another nestie's shower that I'm co-hosting on Sunday.  But she's all over this board today, so I can't spill the beans!!

you can do mini loafs of bread. i'm having a shower in dec. so its a sort of winter theme. my sister in law is doing hot chocolate mix cones. you just pour it in a cup and add water. you can google the idea.

I recently made these Cupcake Pops for a friend's bridal shower.  They were a HUGE hit!  They taste great, and are pretty darn cute.  If you want the recipe you can email me at wrburleson@yahoo.com.

I've seen popcorn wrapped with a wrapper that says, ____ is about to pop.

We gave away little jars of honey with tags that read, "Kelly, the Mom to Bee".  They were cute and went over well.  I mean, who doesn't like honey?

For my BFF's baby shower, myself and the other host took a pic of the mom to be with each guest and printed them while other things were going on (food, games, etc..). Then we placed them in a magnetic frame that can be placed of the fridge and handed them to each guest as they left.?
