Although rare, baby shower favors that are practical are a sure way your baby shower will be remembered by all your guests as they will go away with something that can be used afterwards.

Coasters are becoming popular baby shower favor and can be bought plain or they can be themed to your baby shower, plus it is also possible to buy them in different shapes including heart shaped. While the shape is a nice finishing touch it isn’t quite as effective as having the theme imprinted which remains as a permanent reminder of your baby shower day. For example you can purchase coasters with pictures of sand or the beach to go with a beach themed baby shower and you can include a picture of the bride and the groom in one of the coasters and leave the rest of the coasters in the set blank so your guests can use their own photos if they wish.
Sensible baby shower favors can also be something that can be used on a daily basis like key chains for instance and they come in a huge range of styles but consider carefully which design you will choose for the men and again for the women. This may prove to be a compromise as to be used every day they will need to be strong but also be memorable enough so that everyone will instantly recognize where they received them.
Candles are also a popular baby shower favor and are often used because they are simple to obtain, can be themed or engraved and are very likely to be used at some time in the future. Some people use candles on a regular basis as they are more romantic especially with other lights switched off, so it is unlikely they will go to waste. Candles will not be a baby shower favor that goes into a bin as they are very practical and will be used at some point.
If you want to stay with a romantic theme, and after all it is a baby shower favor, then why not consider wine charms which can have baby shower bells or heart shapes and are rather appropriate for a baby shower. Wine charms are used to identify a person’s drink and can be very useful if you have friends around as they can be placed on the glass and easily recognized. Particularly useful for large gatherings, wine charms can actually be used at your baby shower and the guests will not have to wait for another occasion to use them.
