needs ideas for what to give the guests as give-aways. What are some things she can give away to guests for coming & some things to give as prizes? If you have pictures of stuff, that would be great too.

I've gotten bath salts or beads, pretty stationery, candles, etc....it's just a token and not really meant to be 'personal.'
She could even give refridgerator magnets, lip balm, hand lotions...things like that.
HTH!!!

I agree with Claud. I am not sure what the gifts are my shower for the baby food game winners but I have seen stationary, candles, bath stuff all given at showers.

My favors were really cute. I wish I had a picture to share, but I'll try to describe them...
They were terracotta pots sponge painted pink and white or blue and white, with a wide pink, yellow, and blue ribbon around the top. Inside were drainage marbles, potting soil, and personalized packets of wildflower seeds ('Planted with tenderness, watered with love, gently watched from heaven above, happily blooming or safely at rest, may this precious little sprout always be blessed. Thank you for sharing our joy, Patrick and Jennifer'). The whole thing was wrapped in vellum, and tied with ribbons and a tiny rattle.

Claud, I'll take a picture of mine, but since I'm not yet technically advanced () I'll have to get it developed and scan it before I can post it.
Thanks for the sweet compliments. I'll pass them on to my mom, since she (along with some friends) made the favors.

Do you think that this poem could be used along with a welcoming gift for a new baby?
ETA: like a spruce tree, or some other seedling?

Jenn, those sound so cute. I have been to showers, and they always used bath and body works items as prizes. You can use candles from Yankee Candles..they have baby powder scents
Re: Please help. A close friend is throwing a baby shower for someone and......
chocolate is always good....
I have also received little baby socks filled with pot pourri and decorated (to put in your undies drawer)
and what I call 'boo-boo bunny' the washcloth that when folded a certain way looks like a bunny and you can put an ice cube in a hole...so when you or a child gets a boo boo you have something to hold the ice
