It's always fun to have little gifts to hand out to your baby shower guests.  Whether they win it playing a game or you give them out at the end of the shower, make sure to have some matching favors that will highlight your train baby shower!

One suggestion is the beautiful crystal train shown here.  Each multi-faceted lead crystal design glimmers in the sunlight and makes a great decoration or paperweight.  My husband loves to buy me lead crystal favors because of the way they reflect light and create rainbows for my boys to chase around the house!  We also have train-themed candles to decorate your tables or to send home with each guest.

You may want to bake train shaped cookies for dessert at your shower, you can either use cookie cutters as a guest favor, or decorate and package each cookie to send home as a tasty guest favor itself!  Edible favors are always a hit, you can purchase a colored favor box, fill it with the mother-to-be's favorite candy and finish it with a personalized train-themed sticker.  Create your own sticker at Zazzle.com for as little as $.32 each.

It's always nice to send your shower guests home with a little baby shower favor to remember the special day.  I love personalized favors that are useful even after the event - like the mint tins shown here.  Our mint tins are all about choices - we offer two tins sizes, 6 tin colors, 8 filling options (breath mints, candy mints, sweet sour tarts, mint gum, candy ducks, bubblegum, sugar free cinnamon candy or sour apple candy) and your choice of personalized message on the label.  Priced as low as $2.50 apiece, these favors are a fun and functional option.

A great personalized favor that ties in perfectly with your Blooming Flower theme are our wildflower seed packets.  Filled with enough seeds to cover 20 square feet, these favors provide a beautiful living reminder of your shower.  The packets are also customized with label designs, colors your own shower message.

You can't have blooming without a little buzzing, which makes our ceramic honey pot favors a fitting choice.  The beehive-shaped pot comes with a honeycomb stick for guests' to drizzle honey over their favorite snack!

Flower cookies are a delicious favor option, you can package them in a simple plastic baggie that is tied with colorful curling ribbon and a flower-shaped tag thanking guests for attending.  Cupcakes are a tasty favor also, but they are more difficult for guests' to transport so you may want to serve them as dessert instead.  Stay tuned for some easy and beautiful flower cupcakes!

The new mother isn't the only one who can receive gifts at her baby shower - your guests will be happily surprised when you send them home with a themed shower favor from your Baby Carriage shower!  Versatile and reasonably priced, we offer favors to fit anyone's taste and budget.

If your baby shower is held in the spring, our "Baby is Blooming" Wildflower Seed Packets are a great choice (shown above).  The adorable carriage-shaped card is biodegradable, available in 3 colors and filled with wildflower seeds.  Use them as invitations, guest place cards or even gift them to the new mother as thank you cards.

The crystal carriage favor shown in the center is crafted from Choice Crystal and is elegantly packaged in a silver gift box.  The favor may look and feel expensive, but your guests don't have to know that you found them for less than $3 apiece!

Provide a little snack at each place setting by adding Jordan Almonds or chocolate candies to the fillable carriage favor boxes seen above.  The boxes are available in blue, yellow or pink, you can also order some of each color if the baby's sex is not known.  These favor boxes also work well for a baby shower game of "Guess What's Inside".  Place a small trinket or baby-related item (diaper pin, pacifier, etc) inside and attach a note to the outside of the box.  Have your guests try to guess what is inside and then reveal each item to the surprise of your guests!

The favors shown above are three of my favorites from our Baby Carriage Shower Favors page.  We offer more than 80 carriage-related items so you're sure to find one that you love!

Purchase a memorable favor to include with your Barnyard Baby Shower!  We offer a number of adorable baby shower favors like the blue lamb photo holder pictured.  The lamb (which also comes in pink) can be put to good use at your guests' homes by keeping a recipe in place, holding important notecards or displaying cute photos like the one shown here.  The same lamb figurine is used on bookmarks, keychains and candles to form a complete collection.

You can use our baby shower favors in a number of ways - give them as a prize for winning a shower game, hand them out as thank-you gifts for attending the shower, set them out as decorations and make sure guests know they can take one home or give them to your mother-to-be to use as tokens when guests come to visit the new baby!  Baby photo frames work especially well for this purpose, the new mother can add a picture of her new bundle of joy and send each visitor home with a great memory of their visit.

I have found a number of blocks baby shower favors that are so cute, but my absolute favorite are our "New Baby on the Block" sticky notes.  The notepads are tucked inside a block-themed dispenser that is decorated in pretty pastel colors that will work for either a boy or a girl.  Another great set of favors are the block themed gift boxes that come in blue or pink and can be filled with chocolates, jordan almonds, mints or even bath salts.  To pay special tribute to the mother-to-be and send guests home with a tasty yet memorable favor, you can order personalized mint tins with a block-themed logo.  Simply add mom's name and the shower date to your order and choose from 8 candy flavors to be included inside the tin.

If the baby has already arrived, ask the new mother for her favorite photo of her new baby and make copies for each guest.  Slip a picture into a baby block-themed photo frame and watch the guests' eyes light up when they realize they each get a frame to take home!

If you've already found a great favor for your shower and want to add the block theme to it, we offer personalized baby blocks favor tags that can be purchased in sets.  Each tag includes your guest of honor's name and her shower date - you can also substitute the baby's name and birth date if he or she has already arrived.
