Baby Shower Favors: How to Say Thank You in Creative Ways that Cost Nothing
By Qing Gu
Are you looking for easy and affordable homemade baby shower favors? You come to the right place.
Baby shower party favors can be edible, useful or sentimental, just be creative as much as you can.
Remember this: your baby shower favors are an expression of your thanks to your guests for their participation in the special day.
So the most important of the party favor is the personalized sentiment not the cost.
Earth-friendly Homemade Baby Shower Favors
Here are some "green" and environmental party favors - as we all, include the new baby, have eternal bond with nature.
Tree Seedlings
Homemade Baby Shower Favors to Plant in Baby's Honor
Who can resist the wonderful trend that use tree seedlings as baby shower favors. You know, planting a tree is a unique experience to share when a child is born to ensure long life, prosperity (from the ancient tradition).
Let me tell you how to make your own tree seedlings for rock-bottom prices.
Buy some peat pellets in bulk online and insert tree seeds. Be sure you get appropriate planting instructions for your choice of tree (some must be planted in spring, some in fall). Package the tree seeds and place them in small clay pots, wrapped with cellophane or tulle (this can bring your costs down to nearly nothing!).
Living Plant
Eco-conscious, Oriental-style Baby Shower Favors
How about buying a few living stalks of lucky bamboo before the baby shower, they will propagate a bunch more after the party started!
Or just get a flat of garden flowers from your local garden store. Pick something that's blooming nicely and cut the pots apart. Wrap it up with a ribbon and thank you note - Affordable and very cute!
Potpourri Sachets
Girls' Only Homemade Baby Shower Favors
You'd better save this idea for ladies-only shower as guys won't appreciate it.
To make it, fill heat seal tea bags half full of your favorite potpourri.
Here is the ingredients:
- 1/4 cup orrisroot
- 4 cups lavender flowers
- 3 cups patch only herb
- 1/4 cup ground cloves
- 1 cup deerstongue leaves
- 1/2 cup ground allspice
Next, add:
- 10 drops oil of rose
- 10 drops oil of lavender
- 12 drops oil of neroli
- 1/4 tsp. oil of sandalwood
Then mix them well in the tea bag and attache a small cute note for the finishing touch.
