I have had my baby shower favors planned out for years. I’m not kidding. Years ago I took a soap and lotion making class with my aunt and ever since I thought how fun it would be to make them as favors.
I made small bars of soap that were supposed to be red, white and blue to go along with the Americana theme of the shower, but the red turned out a little pinker. Oh well, the goat milk soap smells amazing and feels great on the skin! I also made little tubes of lotion but didn’t risk coloring them for fear they would color skin too. My wonderful aunt made the blue bath bombs and I was so happy that her first batch crumbled because I was able to take the broken ones and use them in my baths. Lastly, my sweet friend Angie made the amazing sugar scrub; it’s too rough to be used on ¬¬the face, but makes your hands and feet feel as smooth as a baby’s bottom.

These not only will match the game cards and food table labels at the shower but also save the date cards and the shower invitations. I know I am really OCD, but it was so pretty! We used clear 4X4 boxes to put everything in and added some red basket filler and tied it all together with a blue bow. That’s one big to do off of my list to still get done before the baby shower which is only a few weeks away!!  Picture of display at the baby shower |  |
