If you are having a traditional It's a Girl" baby shower or a baby shower that emphasizes femininity, this article will give you some great do it yourself ideas for party favors that all your guests will enjoy to take home with them.

Items like fragrant potpourri sachets, pink candy-filled baby bottles, and cute personalized tea bags in a teacup all make wonderful party favors for girl baby showers.

The potpourri sachets are probably the most classic party favors for girls of all time. All women love fresh scents and flowers, and potpourri combines both of these to create an aromatic keepsake that can freshen up any bedroom, bathroom, drawer, or closet. Begin by purchasing pretty little sachets for potpourri and matching ribbon. Then, you will have to mix a combination of flowers, herbs, spices and oils to achieve the desired fragrance.

One popular combination whose aroma is exquisite combines 4 cups of lavender flowers, 3 cups of patchouli herb, 1 cup deerstongue leaves, 1/2 cup of ground allspice, 1/4 cup of orrisroot, and 1/4 cup of ground cloves. To this mixture, add 10 drops of rose oil, 10 drops of lavender oil, 12 drops of neroli oil, and 1/4 teaspoon of sandalwood oil. Mix all of the ingredients together and distribute the mixture between the sachets. Tie the sachets with ribbon and embellish or personalize if desired.

A cute party favor that your guests will probably enjoy at the very moment that they receive them are the pink candy-filled baby bottles. For this, buy solid pink or patterned pink baby bottles, candy or chocolates, and ribbon. Hershey's kisses, M & M's, and miniature size chocolates or hard candy, are all perfect for this party favor.

Fill each baby bottle with a combination of the different types of candy. Seal the lid onto the baby bottle, and tie a pretty ribbon around the neck of the baby bottle. If you want to add something extra, decorate the baby bottles with fine stickers or embellishments, or, you can personalize the ribbon with the name and date of your baby shower.

Today, tea sets are very accessible and inexpensive; you can sometimes even find some at the dollar store. Most department or toy stores offer a variety of tea sets for great prices. If you decide to theme your girl baby shower a Pink Tea," this baby shower party favor is perfect for you. If your theme is generally feminine and girly, this party favor will work for you, too.

Decorate the teacups with embellishments or ceramic paint, if desired. Put each tea bag inside of a teacup and place on the tables. They are tea-rrific!
