Baby Shower Favors And Prizes

gum chapstick favors

A reader sent in this question the other day: "Do you have any affordable ideas for baby shower favors and prizes that guests will not just throw away when they get home?"

So I thought I would put together several quick and easy ideas for making some adorable prizes for baby shower games / or baby shower favors.

And ... it gave me an excuse to go shopping! I headed out to the dollar store, WalMart and Marshalls, to see what kind of affordable creations I could come up with.

Easy, DIY Baby Bottle Favor Idea

Baby shower bottle favors with candy

These little bottles are from The Dollar Tree. I must admit, I have never really been a big dollar store shopper, but we just had a store open 1 mile from our house, so I went in - and it is actually pretty amazing! 

They have cool gift boxes, party supplies, crafts, fun school stuff for kids, storage bins (I love bins!) 

Anyways, I found these cute bottles, shower mints and jute/twine. All you do is pour some mints into each bottle, tie with the twine ... and viola! Adorable little baby shower favors for under $2 a piece!

And don't forget to tie a cute baby shower favor tag to each one. You can see a bunch of tags I designed, here.


Simple Baby Shower Prizes

Baby shower prize ideas that don't cost a fortune - and that guests will love and use!

This is a little more costly so it probably fits into the baby shower prize category, instead of giving them away to each guest as favors.

I found the mug at the dollar store - they had several cute colors. The pink shred is from the dollar store as well. The nail file, nail polish, gum, face mask and chapstick are all from WalMart.

The total came to around $7. Not bad for a prize for a baby shower game.



About To POP Baby Shower Favors

She's about to pop baby shower favors

I saw these PINK raspberry Coke's at the store the other day and knew they would be perfect as favors for a "She's About To POP" themed baby shower.

If you can't find colored Coke's - you can always buy IZZE soda, which is so cute and delicious.

Affordable Favor Idea

Baby shower favor and prize ideas - original favor ideas that guests will love and won't throw in the garbage

This baby shower favor idea cost around $4.50. The eos lipbalm and face mask are both from WalMart.

The ribbon is from the dollar store - although you really don't get much ribbon on a roll - so it may be more cost-effective to get it from WalMart or a craft store.


Baby Shower Favors And Prizes

Cute baby shower favors and prize ideas!

This was all from WalMart (except the twine.) I bought the gum in a 3 pack for $2 something, so the total cost of the entire favor/prize is around $3 - which is great! 

Add a cute favor tag to make extra cute! Here are some FREE tags I designed. Click on the picture to hop over to see all of the baby shower favor tags.


Cheap Baby Shower Game Prizes

Easy and cheap baby shower prizes - candles, wax melts, nail polish, face masks and much more to inspire you!

This candle cost $3 at WalMart and the scented warmer wax was $2. I just peeled off the sticker on the candle to make it look better.

You could also print off some baby shower labels with the shower info on them and stick them onto the candle. Or buy some cute baby-themed stickers and stick them on.


Affordable Prize For Game Winners

Here is another version of a cute baby shower prize idea. (I recommend using double-sided tape so that everything stays in one place and doesn't slide out.)

You can also create a prize station, such as a mini ladder, where you display an assortment of baby shower prizes and let guests pick the one they want.
