Craft babyshower favors on the cheap?

[lovemara]

I'm in charge of a good friends baby shower favors and I could order something, but I'm wondering if there's anything I might possibly be able to make. I'm not overly craft or gifted, but I could probably manage something simple. TIA!

I recently helped with my sister's baby shower and for her favors we used chocolate molds in the shape of baby bottles that you use with pretzel rods. It was half the pretzel showing and the top half was inserted in the choc. mold. Then we did yellow chocolate in the shape of ducks (her theme) and another pretzel rod dipped in white chocolate with blue sugar sprinkles. It was a big hit!! HTH

You can buy clear flower vases at the dollar store (single stem type), fill them with M&Ms or jellybeans, pick a flower to put in the middle and tie a ribbon with a small note on it. Simple!

You can print personalized labels and wrap around Hershey bars, etc. Just do a search on the net.

I will have to try to search for it but there was a post here not too long ago where the OP made favors out of the free Mentos gum. They were really cute!

I got 60 Mentos and only paid tax when they went on sale for $1 and the coupons had $1 off. There are coupons for .55 cents off now .
I made wrappers . It was just finding a clip art of a baby and making it bigger ,adding text on it and using a glue pen and voila some super cheap and adorable party favors! We put these on all the tables. Everyone loved them and this was something that anyone could enjoy.

How about using rinsed out glass baby food jars and filling it up with Bath salts. Have a saying on it ... something like... A shower for _____ and a bath for you!

I spent alot of money on my sister's baby shower(before my wonderful couponing started). I ordered most of my items off Ebay(I'd look there for ideas). I made a diaper cake for the centerpiece(I am not crafty, but it turned out alright). I made gift bags with personalized candy bars, tick tacs, mini bubbles, baby food jars with bath salt, foot imprint soap and a votive candle for people to light when the baby was born.
