There are a lot of milestones worthy of celebration in a person’s life, but a baby shower is definitely one of the celebrations that tops any life list. A baby shower is a celebration of a new life, you (or you and your partner), have successfully brought a child into the world, and now it is time for you to raise that tiny being into the best person they can be. A baby shower may also be celebrated before the birth of a child.

That said, at your baby shower, you can expect to see every one of importance, and not-so-importance, gracing your event. All of these people will be there to celebrate with you, instil some parenting wisdom in you and gift you with enough items for the mother and new-born. With all these, it shouldn’t be a far stretch that you should give something back to your awesome guests.

This favor will ensure your guests can get a dose of that fresh, new-born smell anytime. The scented candles vary in smell, coming in scents including baby shampoo and baby powder. Add your own personal touch with a DIY personalized label of your baby, or with your family name.
