Here are two ideas that I used when I gave a shower for one of the girls at work. Both were huge hits and worth every bit of the work it took to make them.
DIAPER FAVORS
Buy cheap white muslin or other soft, diaper-like material, a package of small, gold safety pins, and pastel mints.
Cut muslin in 2" or 3" squares with pinking shears. Fold into triangle, then in diaper shape, and fasten with safety pin. Fill with pastel colored mints
PETIT FOUR BABY BLOCKS
Prepare cake (any flavor will do, but I used white) mix as directed on back of box for 9x13" cake. Cool. When cool, cut cake in squares (throwing away edges or reserving them for another use).
Make a frosting glaze with confectioner's sugar and enough milk to form fairly runny consistency. Cover each block entirely with glaze and place on wire rack to dry.
When dry, outline edges with various pastel frostings, using decorator bag. Finally, using decorator bag, pipe design or letter of alphabet on each of the 5 sides of the block that show. Using different pastel colors makes these wonderfully festive.
