Baby shower favors can be difficult to choose because we want to appeal to the adults who show up for the event but we still want to stick to a baby theme.

This can be a challenge especially when we consider that many of the guests don’t have little ones themselves.

The Quest For The Perfect Favors…

While I would love to choose adorable little bears I’m not sure if they will be completely appreciated by everyone in attendance. I hate the idea of using candy in pull tie baggies made out of fabric either.

The quest for the perfect baby shower favors ended in wax. Candles appeal to the adult but you can find many styles of baby themes that suit the occasion as well. Following are some great ideas for using candles as baby shower favors for your upcoming event. These items are reasonably priced and you can find a great deal if you buy them in bulk. They also come in an amazing range of scents, colors and designs.

How To Choose A Candle That Is Just Right

My first choice is a candle of a bear sitting on a rocking horse. The mother-to-be is creating a nursery based on a rocking horse theme. This is a great choice for the occasion because we don’t know if she is having a boy or a girl.

I wanted to steer away from pinks and yellows. The bear on a rocking horse candle is perfect for either a boy or a girl and it contains blues, pinks and yellows in the design. I think that this is a real winner and these candles will make perfect baby shower favors for the event I’m planning.

Overcome Difficult Selections

This decision didn’t come easily. I had many other options and there are four other candles that really stood out like the teddy bear etched on a frosted glass votive holder. This beautiful baby shower favor is a knockout but it just didn’t suit the rocking horse theme. I did like the idea of giving a glass votive as baby shower favors, though.

Remember To Take The Gender Into Account

The next collection of baby shower favors would have been perfect if I knew whether she was having a boy or a girl. There are baby bootie candles that come in pink or blue. These are just adorable and I almost got them for the event.

I was just going to give each guest one of each color but this was not cost effective. I was also drawn to a crystal baby stroller that is filled with either pink or blue wax. Again the gender became an issue. I could have opted for white wax but I did find this to be a little dull compared to the bear on a rocking horse.

I’m happy with my pick of baby shower favors. I know that the guests as well as the new little one will love the candles whether they burn them one evening or keep them as a keepsake forever.

If you are looking for great ideas for favors then it pays to do some research. Ask around or get ideas from baby showers you’ve been invited to in the past, you could even search online for more great ideas.
