Baby Shower Favors

Just wondering what everyone has done for baby shower favors? I was talking to my friend who is throwing the shower, but we really have no idea what to do. I thought individually wrapped decorated sugar cookies would be cute, but I can't find them for less than $3 a cookie, which would add up quickly since we have a lot of people coming!

Any ideas for a cheaper alternative, or a place to get the cookies for cheaper?
Thanks for the help!!!

I went to the dollar store and they had a ton of cute little vases with fish on them! I had over 50 people and that was nice and easy to do. they all like them! Maybe you could make the cookies?

Couldn't you just make the cookies yourself?

we did little mesh bags with mini pink pacifiers tied to them and inside were colorful almonds i don't know their exact name but ppl use them at weddings for favors also (they come in plain white for weddings). they aren't expensive though.

my sister found little blue mesh bags with ribbons on them at wal mart, and filled them with hershey kisses with blue wrappers! they were super cute and inexpensive!

she said they were by the party favors.

I bought a gigantic bag of Hershey kisses and wrapped 6 each in blue tule, tied it with ribbon. It turned out really nice. It very inexpensive and easy to make!

My aunt had a layout on her computer to make boxes out of cardstock.... ( i'm not sure how, i could find out if you wanted me to ... ) But she put pictures of our ultrasounds, A picture of me & bf & Thank you for coming to Alli's shower & then put little dinner mints in them, it was cute & everyone love them!

I made princess sugar cookies, decorated them and individually packaged them for my daughter's first birthday...took me forever, and NO ONE TOOK THEM. My husband is begging me not to do it again to myself, especially since this time I'm pregnant!

Thanks for all the ideas, I will have to go to the store and look around!

that's what i had! look above your post! LOL

isn't free cake enough????? LOL I guess that because, I've only had company baby showers   the cupcakes at Piper's were super yummy. They were strawberry w/vanilla frosting, pink sprinkles and pink baby bottles on top....do plastic baby bottles count????

I went to a Party Warehouse type place and got 3 big Bottle like piggy banks and filled it with candy and had little bags stamped with a cute "Baby" stamp... you can use the banks your self after and/or give to someone else... everyone loved it.. and it was cheap and easy. And if people don't eat all the candy you have some for youself for later
