    Cereal Bar Lollipop

    • Puffed rice cereal bars serve as the base for a creative lollipop treat. The premade puffed rice cereal bars work well for this favor project and save you time. You can make homemade bars if you prefer. Melt chocolate candy wafers in the desired color. They are available at craft supply stores in a variety of colors. This will serve as the coating for the bars, so pick the color you wish to display on the treats. Melt the candy wafers according to the package directions, using caution to avoid overheating the chocolates. Press a lollipop stick into the short end of each bar. Use a spatula to frost the bar with the melted chocolate. You'll need to work quickly so the warm chocolate doesn't melt the cereal bars. Press any embellishment into the chocolate before it sets. Ideas include the small candy shapes sold for cake decorating or colorful sprinkles. Allow the bars to set up fully before packaging them in cellophane bags.

    Spa Products

    • Homemade spa treatments provide a relaxing favor gift for baby-shower guests. A simple homemade sugar scrub works well. Collect various jars with lids to hold the sugar scrub. A basic recipe for the scrub mixes one part olive oil to two parts granulated sugar. Add a few drops of essential oils, vanilla or perfume to the scrub for a scented variety.

      A variation is to make brown sugar scrub. Mix equal parts granulated white sugar, brown sugar and olive oil. Add a few drops of vanilla for more scent. Place the sugar scrub into the collected jars. Add a label or a thank-you note on the jars.

    Creative Candy Holders

    • For a simple homemade baby shower favor, choose a popular candy and create one-of-a-kind containers to hold it. One option is to fill clean baby socks with the candies and tie the top with a ribbon. A baby bottle tied with a ribbon is another theme-friendly way to share candies with your guests. Chinese take-out boxes offer a convenient way to distribute candy favors. Many craft stores sell decorative take-out-style boxes which will fit the baby shower theme with stickers, ribbon and other embellishments.
