One of the sweetest times ever is celebrating a friend’s soon-to-be new arrival! A baby shower is such a joyous occasion for everyone in attendance. A shower is a chance to honor the mother-to-be and their little one with things they may need. Life is busy and someone taking time out of their schedule to celebrate a mom-to-be is so special. It is something to be extra grateful for!
Gifting guests with a favor from your shower isn’t a must but is a nice gesture. I love unique items that guests can use. There are so many categories to choose from, like home décor, beauty products, edible goodies, and even environmentally friendly favors. Be sure to choose something that fits your shower’s theme and your personality. Here are 50 baby shower favor ideas to help spark your imagination for a gift to give your guests.
Home Goods
1. Candle Set
A candle is always a good idea. This 12-piece square candle set is perfect for any guest, and I love that you can personalize it. With the 12, 2-ounce candles, you get tins that are 1.4 inches by 2 inches and a set of stickers.
2. Book of Matches
You could give these personalized matchboxes with the candle listed above or alone! Matches always come in handy around the home and look great on display as well. You get a set of 50 boxes with your order that you can personalize with your baby’s name and other details like the shower date or your baby’s expected due date.
3. Oyster Ring Dishes
These oyster ring dishes are stunning. Such a chic statement and shower favor. You can choose from various patterns, but no two shells are identical. Each shell is between 2 and 3 ½ inches and is handcrafted with gold leaf trim.
4. Memo Pads
Memo pads are a must around the home. These darling Dr. Seuss-themed ones come in a pack of 48. They feature six designs with various Seuss characters and have 20 pages with decorative borders. This is a great choice if you’re planning a whimsical baby shower.

A pashmina shawl always comes in handy. It can easily be worn as an accessory or to add extra warmth. The shawl measures 27 ½ inches by 67 inches without the fringe and is made of 30% cotton and 70% polyester. Everyone needs one of these in their closet! It’s also great to gift if you are planning your event to be outdoors or during the colder months.
