Baby Shower Prizes Ideas

If you have ever been a guest a baby shower then you probably know that there are usually games involved.

And if you’ve ever played a baby shower game, then chances are you may have won a prize!

Because what is a game without a prize, right?

If you are hosting a baby shower there are tons of things to think about.

There is the food, the decor, the games, and the guest list just to name a few. Sometimes, the door prizes for the games might be the last thing you remember.

Thankfully, prizes don’t need to be lavish or fancy – most people are just excited to get something fun to take home.

We’ve compiled a list below of the best inexpensive prizes to have at a baby shower. Whether you are just playing some games or hosting a full-on diaper raffle baby shower, you’ll find something for everyone in this post.

Helpful Tips For Choosing Baby Shower Prizes

Not all prizes need to be the same. You can have several different ones for each winning guest to choose from.
Pick a budget and stick with it. It might be tempting to go above and beyond when it comes to prizes- but keep it realistic. Decide how many games you will need prizes for and then determine how much you want to spend on each prize. Remember- guests don’t come to the party just get prizes! They come to celebrate the mom-to-be. Anything beyond that is just a bonus!
Packaging and how you present the prize can make a difference! Especially if it is a “cheaper” prize. Just by adding some tulle or ribbon can make it look more appealing.
Consider picking prizes that go with your baby shower theme.
Think about getting prizes for runner-ups

Have fun with picking the prizes! Choose items that you would love to receive!

Below you’ll find ideas that you can purchase online or in store. The Dollar Tree and Target’s Bullseye’s Playground are both EXCELLENT spots to find some really cute and cheap baby shower prizes.

We are personally fans of Dollar Tree Baby Showers! There’s no rule that says you have to spend a fortune on a baby shower.

If you want to buy prizes in bulk, I would recommend buying from Beau Coup. They have some really fun and unique prizes.
