Favour Box Ideas for Baby Showers

Favour boxes are not only for weddings; they can also be given at baby showers or birthday parties. There are many different things you can put in favour boxes for a baby shower, but in general, you want to choose something that’s suitable for all of the people attending the shower and gifts that match the theme of your baby shower. In this article, we take a look at some of these ideas to give you inspiration when planning your baby shower.

Sweet treats

One fantastic item to place inside favour boxes for baby showers is a mixture of sweet treats. Almost all guests will appreciate receiving sweet treats such as gummy bears, cookies, cakes or chocolate buttons. These can also be packaged and decorated to match the theme of your baby shower and the sex of your baby. Traditionally, if you’re having a boy, you may use blue as your theme and decoration; for a girl, you can use pink. However, you don’t necessarily need to follow these traditions. Many people prefer not to find out the sex of the baby until they’re born; they might use a neutral colour scheme, such as white or green, that’s sometimes associated with a surprise baby. You can buy sweet treats for baby showers or make them at home yourself; just ensure that none of your guests has any allergies before making your favour boxes. Sweets can be placed in decorated favour boxes or boxes in fun shapes such as a bottle or a baby. 

Candles 

Everyone enjoys a candle, and they make great gifts for a whole range of people. Candles are another ideal gift that can be used inside a favour box as part of a baby shower. You can personalise your candles with a label specific to your baby shower, thanking people for attending. Alternatively, you can choose candles that match the theme of your baby shower and the colours you’re using as decoration. Choose candles with fragrances that match your event, such as soft blanket fragrances or cotton fragrances. If you want something really fun and unique, you can buy a candle in the shape of a newborn baby and give it away to guests that attend your baby shower. 

Bath bombs 

Another gift that’s suitable for a wide spectrum of people is bath bombs. They come in a range of colours, so you can choose one that’s suitable for your baby shower theme. In addition, you can package them in favour boxes along with other items. Choose favour boxes that are big enough for all the items you want to give to your guests. There are many different types of favour boxes you can buy; choose a fun pattern and colour that’s suitable for the theme and style of your baby shower.

Flower seeds

If your baby shower is in the spring, a fun way to celebrate and a way to incorporate the season in your gifts is to include seeds for growing flowers in your favour boxes. This is slightly different from the traditional baby shower gift ideas, but it can be a great environmentally friendly gift for people that attend your shower. Seeds can be scattered in people’s gardens or in wild fields to create beautiful flowers to help the bees and other insects thrive. A cute message, such as a baby is blooming, can be added to the seed packets as part of your favour boxes. Guests might appreciate this alternative baby shower gift, especially those that enjoy gardening and looking after the environment. 

Favour boxes are a delightful addition to any baby shower, providing a thoughtful token of appreciation to your guests. Whether you opt for sweet treats, candles, bath bombs, or flower seeds, there are numerous creative ideas to consider. The key is to choose items that are suitable for all attendees and align with the theme of your baby shower. Regardless of your favourite box idea, remember to select appropriate packaging that can accommodate all the items you want to include. With a wide range of favour box designs available, you can find something fun, stylish, and suitable for the theme and style of your baby shower.
