Throwing a baby shower for an eco-conscious mom? Here are a few eco-friendly favors that are perfect for a baby shower. Of course, you can always opt to make your own favors, such as fresh baked mini muffins wrapped in small kitchen towels instead of cello bags.
The Arbor Day Foundation offers these beautiful little trees that are perfect party favors. Guests can plant the trees at home (indoors or out, weather permitting) and watch this beauty grow.

The mom-to-be won’t be the only one with something growing. Guests can plant these handmade cards embedded with wildflower seeds and watch their own “babies” grow.

These personalized tins come filled with peppermints and can be reused by guests for bulk candies, hair elastics, bandaids or anything else they want to keep organized and travel-ready. When placing your order, ask that they not be shrink wrapped to eliminate wasted plastic.

I just hosted an EcoFriendly Baby Shower for my friend and i ordered a centerpiece from http://www.GrowInStyle.com. The 100% organic ecofriendly diaper cake was the hit of the party! It was the most unique and creative gifts the mom to be has ever recieved, and it looked beautiful as a decoration! It contained a bunch of useful things the mom will get to use on her baby, including a blanket, recieveing blanket, onesies, burp cloths, dipaer cream , 2 natural teethers, sophie the giraffe and chan pie gnon teether as well as the all natural Natursutten pacifier- the coolest pacifier ever! the cake was very cheap and of the best quality that i came across.. the mom absolutely loved it! I highly recommend it to anyone considering an ecofriendly baby shower gift.
