While the main purpose of a baby shower is to celebrate the parents-to-be, arranging thoughtful party favors for the guests is a much-appreciated gesture. Whether you’re planning your shower or someone else’s, you’re aware that guests may be traveling a long distance to be in attendance, and that they’re generously contributing to a range of baby essentials. They’re also sure to play an important role in the baby’s life (potentially even including some future babysitters), in addition to already being close friends and family of the parents. Showing your gratitude with one of these creative baby shower favor ideas is a fun and simple way to recognize guests, and to help everyone remember the happy occasion.

There are a few things to consider when choosing the best and most unique favors for your baby shower. If the shower has a theme, that can be a natural source of inspiration and can also ensure that the favors match the decor. For both themed favors and more generic options, you’ll also want to take into account the number of guests attending. More intimate affairs might allow you to spend a little more per person, while largely attended events can of course add up quickly. Either way, there are plenty of gift options well under $10 on this list that can suit groups of any size. Additionally, if you have other preferences in mind, like finding personalized gifts or eco-friendly gifts that avoid waste, you’ll find several ideas below that fit the bill.

Lastly, if you're going to be a guest at an upcoming baby shower, be sure to check out our ideas for the best gifts for new moms, gifts for pregnant women, and baby gift ideas.
