Baby shower favors from 25 units

Ducks, clouds, and soft scents. Handmade to order, free shipping.

1. Oatmeal Milk & Honey Bath Bomb, best for gender-neutral showers

• $1.96/unit at 25 (2 oz)
• $1.74/unit at 1,000 (2 oz)
• 2, 3, 5, or 7 oz
• Vanilla, soy milk, almond
• Contains oatmeal
• Round

The Oatmeal Milk and Honey bath bomb is a round bath bomb scented with Hawthorne, French vanilla, soy milk, and nutty almond notes, per its product page. It contains oatmeal. It ranks first because it is the lowest-cost favor on this list and suits any shower theme.

It comes in four sizes. The 2 oz, 1.75 inches across, costs $49.00 for 25, or $1.96 each, and $1.74 at 1,000. The 3 oz runs $2.03 to $1.80, the 5 oz runs $2.24 to $1.99, and the 7 oz, 2.75 inches across, runs $2.88 to $2.60.

Size is the lever for a host. A 2 oz round fits a small favor box and keeps a 50-guest shower under $100 in product.

A 5 oz round makes a fuller gift for a smaller guest list. The Oatmeal Milk and Honey guide covers the scent in more detail.

A 25-guest shower needs one case of 2 oz rounds at $49.00 with free shipping. A planner running several showers a month can buy at a larger tier and store the extras sealed in a cool, dry closet until the next event.

Best suited for: Hosts who do not know the baby's sex or prefer neutral decor, and planners who need one favor that works for every client. The cream color matches sage, beige, and white palettes.

2. Duck Bath Bomb, best for classic rubber duck themes

• $2.56/unit at 25
• $2.31/unit at 1,000
• 4 oz
• Sugared Melon
• Yellow
• Duck shape

The Duck bath bomb is a 4 oz yellow bath bomb shaped like a rubber duck and scented Sugared Melon. It ranks second because the rubber duck is one of the most common baby shower motifs, and the shape needs no explanation on the favor table.

Pricing follows the shaped-bomb ladder. Twenty-five units cost $64.00, or $2.56 each. The price drops to $2.48 at 50, $2.44 at 100, $2.39 at 250, $2.34 at 500, and $2.31 at 1,000.

Yellow is gender-neutral, which makes the Duck a near tie with the first pick. It costs about 60 cents more per unit than a 2 oz round, and that premium buys a favor guests photograph.

A tag reading "Thanks for making a splash" is a common pairing. Keep the duck on the favor table and away from toddlers at the party, since the shape looks like a toy.

On the favor table, set the ducks in rows on a blue or white runner so they read as a pond. One case of 25 costs $64.00, and two cases cost $124.00 at the 50-unit tier, which covers most showers with spares left for the hosts.

Best suited for: Rubber duck, "waddle it be," and bath-time shower themes. It also works for sip-and-see parties after the baby arrives.

3. Fluffy Cloud Bath Bomb, best for boy and sky themes

• $2.56/unit at 25
• $2.31/unit at 1,000
• 4 oz
• Huckleberry
• Blue
• Cloud shape

Fluffy Cloud is a 4 oz cloud-shaped bath bomb colored with Blue 1 and scented huckleberry, per its product page. It ranks third as the boy-theme pick. It also fits gender-neutral sky, "over the moon," and "little cloud" themes.

It shares the Duck's price ladder: $64.00 for 25, $124.00 for 50, $244.00 for 100, $597.50 for 250, $1,170.00 for 500, and $2,310.00 for 1,000. The unit price runs from $2.56 down to $2.31.

A cloud is a soft shape that does not look like food or a toy, which is a quiet advantage at a party with young siblings around. Huckleberry is a fruit scent, so it reads lighter than a perfume note. For a mixed theme, a host can split two cases between Fluffy Cloud and the Duck and set them out in alternating rows.

A cloud favor pairs with tag lines such as "Thanks for showering us with love," which ties the shape to the event. Two cases of 25 cost $124.00 at the 50-unit tier. For a smaller shower, one case at $64.00 covers 25 guests with free shipping.

Best suited for: Boy showers, sky and cloud themes, and "baby blue" palettes. Pair it with the Duck for a two-shape favor table.

4. Pink Petals Bath Bomb, best for girl and floral themes

• $1.96/unit at 25 (2 oz)
• $1.74/unit at 1,000 (2 oz)
• 2, 3, 5, or 7 oz
• Rose, jasmine, violet
• Rose petals
• Round

Pink Petals is a round bath bomb scented with rose, Asian jasmine, violet, musk, and soft woods, per its product page. It contains rose petals, which show on the surface. It ranks fourth as the girl-theme pick and the floral pick.

It uses the same four-size round pricing as Oatmeal Milk and Honey. The 2 oz costs $49.00 for 25, or $1.96 each, and $1.74 at 1,000. The 7 oz, 2.75 inches across, starts at $2.88 and drops to $2.60.

It ranks below the shaped picks only because a round bath bomb carries less of the theme on its own. The petals and pink color do most of that work, and a ribbon finishes it.

The scent is the most perfumed on this list, so it suits a crowd that likes florals. The Pink Petals guide has the full scent notes.

Choose the 2 oz for a big guest list and the 5 oz for a small luncheon where each favor should feel like a gift. Visible petals photograph well, so a host can set a few unwrapped samples in a bowl for display and hand out the wrapped ones.

Best suited for: Girl showers, garden and floral themes, and "oh baby" pink palettes. The 2 oz size keeps a large guest list affordable.

5. Serenity Lavender Bath Bomb, best for spa-style favors

• $1.96/unit at 25 (2 oz)
• $1.74/unit at 1,000 (2 oz)
• 2, 3, 5, or 7 oz
• Lavender essential oil
• Epsom salt, olive oil
• Round

Serenity Lavender is a round bath bomb made with lavender essential oil, Epsom salt, and olive oil, per its ingredient list. It ranks fifth as the spa favor, aimed at the parent-to-be and the guests who want a quiet bath after the party.

It follows the round bath bomb price ladder. Twenty-five 2 oz units cost $49.00, or $1.96 each, and 1,000 cost $1,740.00, or $1.74. Larger sizes cost more per unit, with the 7 oz starting at $2.88.

Lavender suits a shower with a calm or botanical theme, and the purple tone pairs with lilac and gray decor. It ranks last because lavender is a stronger scent than oatmeal and divides a crowd more.

Keep favor tags to the scent and the thank-you, and skip wellness claims. A lilac ribbon on each favor finishes the look.

For the guest of honor, a 7 oz Serenity Lavender makes a larger take-home gift beside the smaller guest favors. A host can order one case of 2 oz favors for guests and a separate case of 7 oz for hosts and family, since each size carries its own price.

Best suited for: Spa-themed showers, "mommy-to-be" self-care gift bags, and lilac or lavender palettes. It also makes a thank-you gift for the shower hosts.

How many bath bomb favors should I order?

Order one favor per guest household, then add a few spares for hosts and late arrivals. Made Natural sells in cases of 25, so a 20-guest shower needs one case and a 40-guest shower needs two. Splitting two cases across two shapes, such as the Duck and Fluffy Cloud, is common.

How far ahead should I order baby shower favors?

Order at least three weeks before the shower, since production takes 5 to 10 business days and ground shipping adds several days depending on your location. That leaves a week to tag, bag, and set up the favor table without a rush. Call (855) 623-3628 if the date is closer.

Are bath bombs safe to give at a baby shower?

Bath bomb favors are for adult guests, not newborns. Made Natural's toddler guide notes that most makers recommend bath bombs for ages three and up, with an adult present. Keep favors on a table out of reach of young siblings, and label each one as a bath product.

How much do bath bomb shower favors cost per guest?

At Made Natural's published prices, a 2 oz round costs $1.96 a unit for 25 and $1.74 at 1,000. Shaped favors like the Duck and Fluffy Cloud cost $2.56 a unit at 25. Shipping is free, so the case price is the full product cost before tags, ribbon, or boxes.

How do I package bath bombs as shower favors?

Each bath bomb arrives individually shrink-wrapped, so it can go straight into a kraft box, organza bag, or cello bag with a ribbon. Add a tag with a short thank-you line and the scent name. Keep favors sealed in a cool, dry place until the shower so they hold their fizz.

Can I order custom labels for shower favors?

Made Natural offers private label bath bombs with custom branding, but private label runs start at 500 units and take longer. For a single shower, most hosts order stock favors and add their own printed tags, which costs less and ships in 5 to 10 business days.
