17 Creative Prizes For Baby Shower Games that Everyone will Love (2024)

Are you planning an upcoming baby shower? Congratulations; you’ve come to the right place! As masters of event planning, we love to help people throw memorable parties. And what better way to put a smile on the faces of guests than to include prizes for baby shower games? From sangria kits to artistic workshops, there are all kinds of experiences and gifts you can include. The venue is also an important part of any party planning process. So think about browsing some of Peerspace’s baby shower venues near you as you consider how to bring everything together!

1. Make some custom glassware

Drinking glasses, glass plates, and shot glasses with the date of the baby shower are cute prizes for baby shower games that anyone will enjoy! You can add a ribbon and/or fill them with chocolates, makeup, and other goodies for a nice gift. Since you probably don’t have a glass blower, look to companies like Printful to make custom glassware fit for a baby shower game gift! 

2. Gift winners with spa vouchers

Baby shower gifts can be experiences as well as things to take home. Give the gift of a relaxing few hours at your favorite spa! Most resorts and day spas offer spa packages where you can treat someone to exfoliating facial scrubs, massages, eucalyptus steam baths, and whirlpool soaks. Instead of time at an actual spa, you can help your lucky winner make their own home a spa with a spa gift basket of goodies! They come with items like bath salts, essential oil blended soap, and a natural sponge loofah for an unforgettable bath experience.

3. Lottery tickets for good luck

Give the gift of good luck with lottery tickets! They’re inexpensive and get people dreaming of what might happen if they win. There are multiple kinds; scratch-offs are interactive and have a higher chance of winning…But the huge payoff that comes with a cash-value Powerball ticket is hard to beat! Since the cheapest tickets are as little as $1 you can include them with many of your prizes for baby shower games!

4. Give out houseplants

Beautiful, easy to care for, and sure to grow over time…Houseplants are a lovely gift idea that most people have space for in their homes. Potted plants that stay small are the best gifts; think about begonias, cacti, and so on. Stay away from rubber trees and other plants that will get large unless you’re sure the winner will be on board. The same goes for tropical houseplants that have specialized care needs like Monstera. Pick plants that are small, cute, beautiful, and easy to keep!

5. Buy gift cards for a local wine bar or wine-tasting

Who doesn’t love experience-oriented presents like gift cards to a local place everyone loves? Check out wine bars, breweries, and distilleries near you for gift cards you can give out as baby shower game winnings. For an even more involved experience, you can buy seats to a wine-tasting event, which wineries, vineyards, and wine bars all hold regularly. Wine tastings will teach the winner about the finer points of each drink and introduce them to entirely new wines.

6. Pick up an essential oils kit

Many of the best prizes for baby shower games are gifts that are practical and wellness-oriented. That makes essential oil kits something anyone can enjoy! Pick up a blend of your favorites; tea tree for colds, eucalyptus for sinuses, lavender for relaxation…Blends mixed with lotions are excellent skincare gifts and you can also present fresh oils if you expect guests to use the blends right on their skin or mix in an essential oil air diffuser.

7. International snack boxes

Foodies are going to love the ability to enjoy international treats without leaving the country! Head to the international section of your grocery store, a world market, an international grocer, or shop online at places like SnackCrate for one of these snack boxes. Each one includes snacks you’d otherwise never find in the USA; pocky sticks from Japan, stroopwafels from the Netherlands, and the many strange yet wonderful flavors of potato chips that we never see in the USA!

8. Yoga accessories for wellness lovers

Are some of your baby shower guests lovers of wellness-oriented fitness? Think about yoga accessories as a creative prize for baby shower games. These could be cork yoga mats, which offer great grip, are naturally anti-bacterial, and great for the planet. Or you could buy yoga blocks, stretch bands, or eye pillows. Anything to help release stress and become more in tune with one’s body during a yoga session. 

9. Mason jars filled with treats

Mason jars filled with goodies are a mainstay for baby showers, weddings, and other parties! You can make your own treat jars by buying an assorted candy pack of Snickers, Kit Kats, and other classics. Or you can make your own treats to place inside! Who doesn’t love snack rewards as a game prize?

10. Fragrant homemade candles

People love homemade prizes for baby shower games that are as practical as they are beautiful. Why not make some homemade candles to take home after the baby shower? You can make your own candles by attending a candle-making class near you. These classes come with everything you need, including essential oils for scents, dyes for colors, and candle holders! Instead of making the candles yourself, you can also gift a candle-making kit as a game prize! That way, winners can choose the colors and scents they prefer.

11. Artistic workshop lessons

Give the gift of learning with an art workshop! People love learning new things; whether that’s painting, photography, cooking, sculpture, or watercolor. If you think the prize winner will be a complete beginner, make sure the art lessons are beginner-friendly. You just might ignite a lifelong passion in someone for a new art form they would never have tried!

12. Air plants with custom holders

Air plants are a special kind of house plant! They require next to no care; in fact, frequent watering and fertilizing is a sure way to kill them. That makes air plants the perfect gift for people who might enjoy a nice plant but don’t have much time to dedicate to its care. Air plants make pretty gifts to place in a desktop pot or even in a hanging wall or ceiling basket.

13. Cookie mix in a jar

We talked about treats in a jar before (see #9), but did you know you can add a dimension by letting the prize winner make the treats themselves? Cookie, brownie, or bread mixes can be added to a jar so all that’s left is to add the liquid ingredients and bake the mixture! Cookie jar mixes should be added in attractive layers to make the jar look presentable. Top the mason jar off with a bow and instructions for baking and you have a simple yet delicious prize for baby shower games!

14. Sangria kits

Sangria kits are a fun present that everyone will want! Each one comes with wine, fruit, and instructions for the perfect home pitcher. Guests can save it for a fun evening or part of a sangria party in the future!

15. Cookies, bread, and other baked goods

How talented are you in the kitchen? Because you can always make your own prizes for baby shower games. Cookies are a guaranteed hit with most people and come in dozens of varieties. A box of chocolate chip, sugar, or gingerbread cookies will always put a smile on someone’s face. And you doing the baking means they are easier gifts to receive versus a cookie mix in a jar.

16. Gift baskets

Gift baskets are one of the most traditional presents you can offer. Not to mention the most versatile. A gift basket can hold fruit, charcuterie, cheese, bath salts, cosmetics, house plants, lottery tickets, chocolate…They are fully customizable – plus winners can save the basket for future gifts or creative projects! 

17. Tea and coffee packs

Perk up their mornings with a bit of caffeine to start the day! Tea and coffee sampler packages are easy to find at any local coffee shop or grocery store. Coffee aficionados will love rare beans from abroad and tea drinkers will enjoy pressed loose tea wheels or classic blends from a distributor. Tea and coffee make great additions to any gift basket as well!
