Over the years, the Australian Favours team has curated, tested, and gifted hundreds of products to families across the country. We have sat in on the unwrapping, collected feedback from parents, hosts, and guests, and noted what people actually keep and use.
That hands-on experience shapes this guide. When people ask what to buy for a baby shower, I give a real answer based on our real experience.
These are the three gifts we recommend most. We have ordered them, checked the quality, and reviewed real feedback from recipients.

Product 1: 55Pcs Bamboo Charcuterie Board Set Baby Shower Game Winner Gifts
This is one of the best-looking prizes we have given at a baby shower. Each box includes 6 complete sets. Every set has a bamboo cheese board, spoon, butter spreader, fork, plaid towel, two faux eucalyptus stems, a thank-you card, a clear gift bag, and a roll of string for tying everything together. You get everything you need in one pack.
Pros:
The boards feel solid and smooth. They have a light finish, wipe clean easily, and sit flat. The towel feels soft and durable, not like a throwaway extra.
Guests noticed these. When I gifted these at a baby shower last year, two of the winners messaged the host afterwards to ask where they came from. The final setup looks neat and gift-ready. It also photographs well. Assembly is simple and takes about 5–10 minutes per set.
Cons:
The eucalyptus looks artificial up close. Some hosts swap it for real greenery. Also, one pack covers 6 winners. You may need more if you run extra games.
Who This Is Best For
Great for hosts who want practical, high-quality prizes that guests will use later.
Price & Where to Buy
Around $30–$45 per pack of 6.
Product 2: 74Pcs Blue Baby Shower Beauty & Pamper Prize Kit
This set focuses on beauty and self-care, with a clear blue theme. You get 74 pieces across 6 sets, so the value is strong for the price.
Pros:
Each set inside this kit includes a jewellery box, a bracelet, a headband, a hair claw, a hair brush, a compact mirror, a powder puff, a bath sponge, an eye mask, a thank-you card, and a gift bag. That is around 12 items per winner. Guests feel genuinely rewarded.
The blue and white packaging looks neat and well-matched on a gift table. The hair accessories stand out, feel comfortable, and hold up well. The compact mirror has a clean look, closes securely, and feels well-made. The eye masks always get the best reaction from guests.
Cons:
Some smaller items, like the bracelet and bath sponge, feel basic. They work fine, but are not built to last. The blue theme also will not suit every baby shower.
Who This Is Best For
Great for blue-themed baby showers where you want practical, feel-good prizes without spending too much.
Price & Where to Buy
Around $28–$40 per pack of 6 sets.
Product 3: VISCOO 60 Sets Baby Girl Hand Lotion Favors
If you need a gift for every guest, this is a strong choice. You get 60 travel-size hand creams, along with 65 organza bags and thank-you tags. It looks elegant and holds up well in quality.
Pros:
The formula includes shea butter, vitamin E, honey, and aloe vera. It absorbs fast and does not feel greasy. The cherry blossom scent is light and pleasant. Each tube has a pink floral design with “Baby Girl” in gold, which gives it a clear theme. The packaging makes it feel personal, even in bulk. Guests tend to keep and use these, which says a lot. Also, the gifting cost per guest stays low.
Cons:
It only suits girl-themed showers. The size is 20ml, so it is so cute to see, not a full gift.
Who This Is Best For
Great for large showers where you want a practical favour for every guest.
Price & Where to Buy
Around $25–$35 for 60 sets.
Final Recommendation from the Australian Favors
If you are running games and need prizes for winners, go with the Bamboo Charcuterie Board Set. It is the most memorable and the most “keepable” of the three. Guests will use it in their kitchens for months.
If your shower has a strong blue theme and you want variety in your prize bags, the 74Pcs Blue Beauty Kit gives you 12 items per winner without blowing your budget.
If you need something for every guest and want it to feel thoughtful rather than token, the VISCOO Hand Lotion Favors are the ones. At 60 sets with beautiful packaging, they are the most practical choice for large showers.
All three of these are products I would buy again and recommend without hesitation. The best baby shower gifts for guests do not need to be expensive or elaborate. They just need to feel considered, and all three of these do exactly that.
