I am decorating boxes for my daughters baby shower favors. Now just what am I going to put inside? They are a reasonable size maybe 3x2x2. Ideas please?

I'm not the greatest at those things but I was thinking maybe some pastel covered M&M"s and maybe decorate up some sort of little bags of seeds to also watch grow up?
I'm interested to hear others ideas......
Hershey kisses would be nice, and easy since they are individually wrapped. Is there any way to coordinate the color of the candy with the shower colors?

I LOVE the idea of seeds so they can watch them grow! How sweet!
Of course, I'd prefer peanut butter M&Ms because they are my personal brand of crack.
But seeds would be cute!

The seeds idea is really cute. I just may have to use that!
When I've done showers, I generally try to fill the boxes with candies that match the shower colors. M&Ms are now easy to find in many colors (packaged into individual colors) at Michael's.
If you have people with nut allergies, you want to avoid anything with nuts, or at least warn them that they contain nuts (so they can stay away).

I'm having a shower for my DIL next month. I'm going to put the DeRoche candy in the container. With some pink shred. My friend bought pink and white m & m's and put them in a baby bottle, a little one.

Dumb question, I know, but what is DeRoche candy? Is it sometHIN THAT YOU "DeRocher's" home make? lol The reason I ask is because My daughters shower is in two weeks and I still haven't finished deciding on the favors for the shower.I was asked to do these.

Candy, chocolates, a small piece of cake or a small bottle of liquid soap. The custom in Singapore is different. When someone give birth pple will give the baby red packet and in return the parents will either give cake voucher from bakery or cater food and invite them to lunch. There are usually 2-3 choices of cakes redeemable. There is also the possibility that these pple may top up a few more dollars on their own to get something more expensive in the bakery.
I have received the seeds before. Last year I used daffodil/tulip bulbs as a baby shower favor. The shower was in the fall and I did a little poem about watching the bulbs sprout & grown in the spring... Candy is always a good one especially if it's packaged really cute!
On the allergy issue, ALL M&M's contain trace amount of peanuts (poor DS can't eat them at all even though folks give them to him all the time) But on the other hand it's adults attending right? I'm sure they know if they can eat M&M's or not.
I'm planning mine right now. (baby shower that is) and I'm doing the milk carton die as a bird house. I think I'm going to just put those fancy jelly beans inside.
I'm funny about shower gifts. I wasn't going to have them at all. I mean unless they are food I think they tend to get trashed or thrown in the bottom of a drawer or something. So I rekon food is best in my opinion.
I tried to convince my party planning BFF that we could do apples with little thank you tags tied to the stems. She said it was not good enough. Sigh.

you could have done caramel or chocolate dipped apples with blue and/or pink sprinkles - (white chocolate would really pop the colors...oooo)
I'm perpetually on a diet so I wouldn't feel so bad if it were an apple underneath all that yummyness! :lol:
I'm so lamely practical that I mentioned kitchen sponges and even mentioned boxes of pasta. Not even cute baby shapes, just regular spagetti. I was being a pain with the pasta though, just pointing out how random it is to give all my friends a tiny random gift.
I just thought of this! I could have made everyone cute bookmarks. That's sorta practical, crafty and fun. Oh well, I bought that milk carton die for about 65thousand dollars so I need to use it.

Interesting ideas, maybe that could catch on in the states! Thanks.

Hmmm, I like the bulb idea, and of course everyone likes candy...now a choice....

Congratulations and aren't you good for working on your own shower! Good luck with the baby. I think you are right about the favors going to waste, food is always a good idea.
