For personalized baby shower gifts given at a party after the infant's birth consider pretty picture frame like this Daisy-Metal Picture Frame 4x6
for each guest or game winner. Use a portable photo printer like Kodak EasyShare System
to print out photos of the winners holding the baby for an instant, memorable and personalized gift that isn't too expensive. Most commonly, baby shower gifts are given to one to three people who win the games throughout the party. These gifts should be small and relatively inexpensive for the hostess to purchase, but should also be meaningful gifts that guests can actually use. The best baby shower game prizes are those that are simple, but special.
Since you do not know who will win the games make sure that your game prizes are something that most people will find useful. Here are some simple suggestions for baby shower game prizes you might enjoy giving:
- Decorative Kitchen Towels - Rather than giving away hand towels that follow a certain kitchen decor theme it is better to give generic hand towels in neutral colors or holiday-themed hand towels that can be brought out at Easter, Christmas or Thanksgiving.
- Handmade Organic or Fragrant Soap - Who doesn't enjoy a beautifully made, high-quality body soap like these by Pangea Organics
, Aubrey Organics
, or Plantlife Herbals
. Inexpensive, useful and beautiful - the perfect gift combination.
- Stationary Sets - Decorative stationary packs are always useful and make a nice gift for baby shower game prizes.
You can also select gifts that reflect the baby shower theme. If the party theme is of a particular animal, why not give a stuffed animal that fits the theme? Candles are available in many different specialty shapes that will fit almost any baby shower theme as well. Use your imagination and give what you would appreciate receiving yourself.
