BABY SHOWER PRIZES
 Many
people have written in, asking what types of baby shower prizes should
be given out and what the etiquette is for who receives the prizes. We
will answer these important questions below:
Traditionally, only the
mommy-to-be and the person(s) who threw the baby shower would receive
gifts and thank you's. Over the years, as
baby
shower games have become more popular, there are now prizes that are
given out to the baby shower participants. The important factor if
giving out prizes is that it is not about expensive prizes and gifts as
much as something meaningful. Below we have listed our more popular
ideas for baby shower prizes:
Scented Candles
A nice and inexpensive gift for a baby shower prize.
Engraved Picture
Frame
Purchase a nice small picture frame and have it engraved with the date
and event for great memories.
Designer Tea or
Coffee
Everyone loves a little designer caffeine. You can find inexpensive
packs and baskets which make great baby shower gifts and prizes.
Baby Symbolic
Paperweight
A cute idea is to get a paperweight in the shape of a baby bottle,
buggy, silver spoon or something else that signifies the event.
Stationary
Everyone loves paper and extra cards to send out.
Massage or Hand
Lotion/Oils
Find some great scented lotions and make your guests happy they won.
Small Gift
Certificate
In this economy, a gift certificate is always nice to win as a baby
shower prize.
Designer Candy
Who doesn't love Godiva or some excellent dark chocolate from Europe.
You can find these morsels in any department store. You can also place
the candy in a baby bottle for effect.
Flowers or small
Gift Basket
A beautiful way to offer some great smelling and colorful prizes.
Manicure/Pedicure
A delightful baby shower prize that helps relax your baby shower winner.
Baby Shower Gag
Gifts
When playing baby shower games, baby
shower booby prizes are always a lot of fun. Instead of only awarding
prizes to the winners, it would be fun to prank the loser. The loser can
choose from any of the following:
1) Wear an adult disposable diaper
for 30 minutes (or towel held up by rubber bands on the sides)
2) Receive a little girl or little boy hairdo that must be worn for
the remainder of the shower
3) Keep a pacifier in their mouth for 15 full minutes
4) Wear a bib for the remainder of the shower
5) Drink a bottle of any beverage until it is empty
6) Eat a jar of baby food
These baby shower gags can also be played
on the winner to be funny. Thanks to baby shower visitor Becky A. for
some fun ideas!
