Baby showers today are just not games and cake. Hostesses are becoming more creative and coming up with more ideas that mesh with the mom's-to-be baby theme. And what better way to do this than with edible baby shower favors. Guests are no longer leaving with potpourri sachets or candles but with cute, delicious, delectable treats that they can delve into later and not have to leave in their drawers and wonder what they are going to do with later on.

There are so many creative ideas that can be found on the Internet. Here are a few up and coming ideas that are becoming very popular with the new mom's-to-be. Cookies are always a wonderful idea. These can be made into a specific shape that match the theme of the nursery. If the hostess is on a budget, especially in today's economy, the cookies can be made at home. There are a multitude of cookie cutters out there and can be found at many craft stores. If price isn't so much an issue, feel free to place an order with a local bakery. Many websites are specializing in personalized jumbo sized baby fortune cookies with a special personalized fortune inside. Look around for deals. Prices vary. But the idea is super cute! If you want to add an even fancier touch, you can also package your fortune cookies in blue or pink Chinese carry out boxes, which can also be found in your local craft stores or online.

Another idea for the chic mom-to-be is personalized coffee, tea, or cocoa. These come in individual servings. If coffee is not something that your mom-to-be really enjoys, but the night life is something she really misses, you could always try the personalized margarita and cosmopolitan mixes. These are also individual serving sizes. These may be a hit for those who used to enjoy the night life but are trading in their cosmos for night time bottle feedings.

For the creative hostesses who likes to make things by hand, a very unique "pacifier" with directions, can be found online. This pacifier is sure to be a hit! It is made out of cookies, lifesavers, candy bars, jelly beans, and ribbon. Hostesses may want to call in friends to pull these favors together.

And for all those chocolate lovers out there, hostesses cannot go wrong with personalized M&M's, Hershey Kisses, and candy bar wrappers that will fit any standard size candy bar (the size of a Hershey bar).

With so many edible baby shower favors, baby showers are sure to be a hit and a sweet surprise for all attending guests!
