Balm Squad
Some of the best baby shower favors are also the simplest and most useful. Swing by your local drugstore or Target and buy a bunch of eoslip balms (you know, the ones shaped like a ball). Next, order, download and print these special labels on high-quality cardstock. Use a 1.5-inch hole punch to punch out the Os, stick the balms into the holes and boom! Favors done. (PS: If you're looking for baby shower favor ideas for a nautical party, 3Cheers makes anchor-themed lip balm printables for baby boy shower favors.)

If you're showering a glam mom-to-be, go for the sparkliest, shiniest, glitteriest pink candleholders in town—they're perfect for baby girl shower favors. Is mom-to-be more into vintage charms? Aqua glass holders are ideal—and great for baby boy shower favors.

Bath Bliss
For the group of ladies who love luxuriating in the tub (as in, every woman you know), these DIY bath bomb baby shower party favors from A Beautiful Mess are on point.
What you'll need: 4 oz. baking soda, 2 oz. Epsom salts, 2 oz. cornstarch, 2 oz. citric acid, 1 to 1 1/2 tsp. water, 1 tsp. essential oil, 1 1/4 tsp. olive oil, 1 to 2 drops food coloring and a mold for your bath bombs, like a plastic fillable ornament.
How to make it: Whisk the baking soda, Epsom salts, cornstarch and citric acid together in a bowl, removing any clumps. In a glass jar, stir together the water, essential oil, olive oil and food coloring. Slowly pour your liquid into the dry mixture, whisking as you go. When all ingredients are combined, squeeze a bit in your hand to make sure it sticks together fairly well. Next, fill each half of your mold with the mixture until it's slightly overflowing, and lightly press the halves together. Gently remove one side of the mold and allow the bath bomb to dry out for about 10 minutes before removing the other side.

What would a baby shower be without a mason jar? Luckily, you'll never have to know. We love how Jen at Something Turquoise morphed mason jars into fab coed baby shower favors with a little help from mini cola cans and a variety of nips. Cheers to the baby-to-be!
