Baby showers may seem fun and easy but only when you’re on the other end—as a guest.

A lot goes into planning a baby shower, from selecting the theme and location to curating a guest list. A crucial way to appreciate your guests for attendance is by offering them “Thank You Gifts,” also called baby shower favors.

Baby shower favors are a way of showing gratitude and humility to your guests. Even better, they are inexpensive and you can explore your creative side by DIY’ing cute baby shower favors at home.

From mason cookie jars filled with Layla’s Delicacies treats to mini succulents, these DIY baby shower favor ideas will surely make beautiful departure gifts for your guests.

1 - Mason Cookie Jars Baby Shower Favor

Mason jars are inexpensive jars you can customize to your desired style and design to create cute gift boxes. Not only are they perfect baby shower favors, but they also make great wedding favors and Ramadan gifts.

To make your mason cookie jar, you’ll need:

• A mason jar for each guest
• Ingredients and recipe for your homemade cookies
• A collection of candies
• A ribbon
• Customized printed notes

To save on costs, reuse empty mason jars in your home. Use your favorite cookie recipe or look up one online to bake delicious tasty treats. Once your cookies are ready, layer them into each jar with candies for a colorful and textured look.

Finally, wrap each mason jar with a ribbon and add customized printed notes on the side or top. You can also choose to include a handwritten recipe card for your guests to try out the recipe.

For tastier and healthier treats, layer Layla’s Delicacies sweets to the mason jars with cookies. We offer a range of handmade sweets that perfectly blend with the DIY cookies.

From our Appreciation Gift Box with 46 bite-size pieces of assorted Tunisian sweets to pure vegan treats like the Samsa Pistachio, you’ll indeed find what suits every guest. 

Expert Tip: To make your mason cookie jars more alluring, tie them using colorful ribbons and add thoughtful quotes such as “Thank You for joining us to celebrate baby X”, “Thank You for attending X’s baby shower,” or “Thank You for sailing by.”

2 - Homemade Journal Baby Shower Favor

A homemade DIY journal is a unique and easy-to-make gift your guests will love. You make the surprise even better by creating a different color theme for each journal, depending on your guest’s preference.

Create a mixture of larger journals that your recipients can place on bedside tables and small ones to double as note pads they can tuck in their bags.

Spice up the journal’s cover through the following:

• Paint and watercolors
• Personal touches like names
• Using leather or oil cloth
• Stamping

3 - Pedicure Set Baby Shower Favor

Gifting your guests with a “pedicure in a jar” is an inexpensive way to appreciate them for attending your baby shower.

It’s also a versatile DIY you can make for 20 or more guests.

To make your DIY pedicure set in a jar, you’ll need:

• Wide mouth mason jars
• Pedicure supplies (nail polish, clippers, toe separators, etc.)
• Cotton rounds
• Ribbons
• Customized labels and tags (Printed)

Once you have all the needed tools, fill every mason jar with the pedicure supplies. Next, wrap around the mason jars with stylish customized tags for an increased aesthetic. Then stick the printed labels with personalized messages to the top of the jars.

Expert Tip: Use the pedicure gift set as part of your gender revealer to add more drama to your baby shower. Choose a pink theme for a girl and a blue theme for a boy or any other color of your choice.

4 - Homemade Sugar Scrub Baby Shower Favor

A DIY sugar scrub made with the right products is exfoliating, moisturizing, and smells heavenly!

So as your guests arrive with their baby shower gifts, they’ll also leave with a thoughtful DIY gift that their bodies will love.

To make your DIY sugar scrub more interesting, add a customized printable label at the top of the mason jar that has a short poem or a simple “Thank You” quote. Also, add a direction label at the bottom or side of the mason jar that reads:

“To use: Apply to wet skin. Rub and rinse. It will leave your skin soft and smelling good!”

Make your baby shower favor even more thoughtful by pairing the homemade sugar scrub with Layla’s Delicacies tasty treats. Our Almond Finger is a perfect complimentary gift for your guests to pair with coffee after a home spa session with their sugar scrub.

5 - Succulents Baby Shower Favor

Succulents make perfect baby shower favors, wedding favors, or thank you gifts, and making them is simple and fun!

You’ll only need to follow these easy DIY steps:

1. Choose your succulents: Visit a local nursery or order them online.
2. Pick a container or wrapping for the succulents: Ceramic pots, paper wrap, or clay pots. Your choice depends on your preferred theme and style.
3. Get additional supplies (if needed) like soil and rocks. This will depend on the size of your succulent and container.

5. Add a thank you note or quote to the container. For instance, “Watch me grow” or “Thank You for coming.”
