Candles
Small candles are keepsakes guests will appreciate. These favors are available in a variety of shapes and sizes, including miniature baby bottles, lollipops and cupcakes. Candle replicas of cinnamon rolls or sticky buns are available in gift boxes bearing the humorous label "bun in the oven." Small votive candles in decorative and personalized containers are also available. These items are often available in bulk quantities at lower prices but can usually be purchased in single units as well. Expect to pay higher prices for personalized candles or candles with specialized gift boxes.
Candy
Sweet treats make excellent baby favors. Many merchants offer selections of chocolates and lollipops with personalized wrappers. Personalized tins filled with mints in the shape of an infant’s pacifier might be a whimsical favor choice. These favors are very inexpensive when purchased in bulk but may require a sizable minimum order of 200 favors or more. Another option is to create your own homemade candy favors. Fill a coffee mug with candy and wrap the mug in tulle netting. Decorative containers, such as plastic baby booties, filled with candy are easy-to-create baby favor options. Doing it yourself can help you to control costs while adding a personalized touch.
Key Chains
Key chains are a useful and practical baby favor. These items range from rubber duckies to ornate angels to Noah’s ark scenes. Some key chains may also offer convenient features such as a built-in lip gloss or a small retractable measuring tape. These favors, which are usually very inexpensive, are great conversation starters.
Soaps
Gift soaps in the shapes of animals can be matched to the event’s theme and will add a creative touch to the decor. If the gender of the baby is known, buy small, decorative soaps in the form of tiny train engines, teddy bears, flowers or baby booties in pink or blue. Decorative soaps can be a little more costly than other types of baby favors, but they still make a reasonably priced keepsake.
Crystal and Porcelain
If your budget is just a little bigger, crystal and porcelain baby favors might be the answer. While you will pay a little more per favor, guests delight in these distinctive keepsakes. Small trinkets such as crystal baby carriages, train engines, teddy bears or carousels do double duty. Not only do they serve as tasteful party favors, but they are also lovely additions to the event’s decor. Porcelain baby bottles, booties, pacifiers or rattles also make memorable baby favors.
