An essential part of a baby shower is the party favors. Everyone always looks forward to what kind of cute party favors they will come up with next and give out at the next shower. Baby Shower party favors can be either bought, have custom made, or you can make them yourself. Making party favors yourself is a great idea that will save you a lot of money, and will leave your guests awe struck and amazed at the fact that you made them. In this article, we will give you some great ideas and procedures for baby shower party favors that are unique, creative, and adorable.

One party favor idea that serves not only as a party favor but also as a decoration element is the washcloth lollipop. These are perfect for a candy land theme and are even suitable for any baby shower, since they add to the child-like atmosphere quite well. The easiest way to make washcloth lollipops is by taking a good quality washcloth and rolling it up just like you would a jellyroll. After you have rolled the washcloth into a tight circle, secure it with a safety pin.

Find pretty cellophane paper that matches the color scheme of your washcloth lollipops and wrap the rolled up washcloth in it. Before tying the cellophane paper with decorative ribbon, slide a Popsicle stick through the washcloth. Secure the cellophane paper with the ribbon and tie a pretty bow. For a great décor element, bunch up several of these washcloth lollipops and place in a small basket, tin, or canister, and make a "lollipop arrangement." Throw in some real candy for a cute touch.

Another lollipop idea is the delightful white chocolate lollipop party favor. The first step for this idea is to purchase the specialty white chocolate chips for chocolate molds. You can find these either in the bridal shower or baby shower section or the baking section of your local craft store, depending on the store's distribution. These specialty white chocolate chips resemble circular discs with the diameter of about an inch. They usually come in a variety of colors like baby blue, pink, yellow, and light green.

If you cannot get a hold of these, you can always purchase standard white chocolate chips, and use drops of food coloring to achieve the colors that you desire. The molds for the chocolate lollipops can also be found at the craft store. You can find molds that are especially made for baby showers, in the shape of baby bottles, baby rattles, bibs, teddy bears, etc.

The next step is to melt the chocolate as instructed in the package, making sure not to overheat the chocolate. Fill the baby-themed molds with the melted chocolate, and place the lollipop sticks where they fit in the mold (molds will have ridges where you place the lollipop sticks). Let the chocolate harden, remove the lollipops from the molds, and wrap them decoratively. Voila!
