@novella1186 got me thinking about favors and I didn't want to thread-jack. I'm hosting a baby shower next month and I don't know what to do for favors. I know they aren't necessary, of course, but I want to do something. Obviously they're going to be edible. If I've learned anything from TK, it's that favors shall be edible. 

A little background: The mom lives in New Orleans, it's their first kid and she's not finding out the sex.

    My sister had a bee theme and the favors were little honeycomb soaps.

    At a friend's shower they did little bags of caramel/cheddar popcorn with a sticker that said "Ready to Pop".  It was cute (if that's what you're going for :)) and yummy!

    We always do chocolate favors for any type of shower in my circle. Because chocolate.

    For my sister's shower, we did little molded soaps shaped like acorns and leaves that my mom and her husband made (shower had a sort of baby woodland creatures theme, squirrels and owls and whatnot) and a cello baggie with two of the chunky twisted sourdough pretzels dipped in chocolate and nonpariels (one dark chocolate with pink and one white chocolate with blue).

    I've only been to a few baby showers. The best favor I've received was a little bottle of wine! It had a cutsey poem on it: "Baby Smith is coming, the time is near, when you get the big news open your bottle and send your cheers!" I was willing to forgive the cutesy poem though because wine.

    I drank the bottle when I got home. I didn't think people would actually wait for the baby to be born until people posted pictures on mom's facebook wall of them drinking the wine the day the baby was born.

    We've done chocolate lollipops and/or chocolate-covered pretzel rods at most of the baby showers I've gone to. Easy to make and always end up being popular.

    Cookies are always good. Or, if people are coming from out of town, a local treat. (Fudge from that family-owned shop, cupcakes from the bakery down the street...)

    I went to a baby shower with awesome chocolate lollipop things as favors. I thought they were just part of the table decoration so I ate like 6 of them before I realized I was only supposed to get one. They were delicious! I then let my mom and friends know that I went ahead and ate theirs for them :)

    I want to make these onesie cookies in pastel colors, with white lace trim, and little pearl nonpareil buttons. Get on it, girls. My daughter said no. She's so selfish.

    Yesterday I bought sprinkles in the shape of cows, pigs, chickens, and ducks. I need an excuse to use them!
