What to bring

October 10, 2009 5:07 PM

My wife is helping to host a baby shower for a good friend of hers having a baby boy. The theme is "king of the jungle". Someone else is already bringing baked goods. What could my wife bring for favors

I've never been to a baby shower and left with themed party favors. What I have left with is anything I've won from the baby shower games. Things like gift cards and spa items (lotion, bath salts, etc.).

Something in leopard print maybe. What it would be depends on how lavish the shower is going to be - pens? scarves? fabric bags with candy inside?

The "king of the jungle" theme also brings to mind vines. Not sure where to go with that, though. It would be cute for her to work up some vine-y border art for a custom notepad that a print shop could make up for her. If the baby's name is known, it could say (e.g.) "seymour, king of the jungle" somewhere on it.

Best answer: I don't have a brilliant idea for shower items, but thought that this link to a "Baby Shower Party Pack with the same theme might be helpful for both the person asking the question as well as the people trying to answer it.

It seems as if a lion theme is going on.

Perhaps something like this t-shirt would be fun. It might be too expensive though - perhaps more appropriate as a prize for a baby shower game?

Then there's always good old Oriental Trading Company for your bulk party supplies. I've searched "lion" here and there are small plush zoo animal toys for $20/dozen
