It is about the baby – you don’t need to go overboard on the favors. You could get hershey kisses, wrap them in a bit of lace or netting and tie it with a blue ribbon.
You could also get personalized M&Ms that say "It’s a Boy" or something like that:

Party stores always have stuff, too
Wait im confused? Are you throwing one and looking for favors? Or are you going to one and looking for presents?
my aunt got these cute little pink boxes and filled them with jelly beans for my sisters baby shower, i bet you could find a blue version, i think she got them at target or the dollar tree…
Create unque gift baskets!
Well use unique ideas!! use arts and crafts!! maybe make a collage of the snongrams and The mothers bellys growth.
You coulld do fourtune cookies or make some cookies in a bag!
You can do customized Blankets with the babies name or saying( i celbrated *insert name here*’s Birth) with the dateon the blanket.
Give them candles in the Gift baskets
Personalize some M&Ms for the baskets!
Soaps and bath fizzles!
Get a couple baby-themed cookie cutters (like a rattle or teddy bear) and make sugar cookies with blue frosting for favours… or make plain round ones with a fancier icing, like the baby’s name or "Baby Boy" or baby-themed sprinkles if such a thing exist. You can find little favor boxes at any dollar store just about and make little cookie packages using stamps or markers and some blue ribbon.
I went to a bulk food store (Bulk Barn, in Ontario) and picked up lots of Hershey Kisses and lots of Pacifier Sweet Tart Candies. I bought some plain white paper bags (3" by 5" in size), bought some baby stickers for scrapbooking at a dollar store… I decorated the paper bags and put 6 kisses and a scoop of candies in each bag… Everyone loved them.
It all cost me less than $20 and I had enough for about 40 to 50 guests.
A collection of small things…mini M&Ms, mini post-its, mini bottles of bubbles…
Shower-Me sells cheap baby shower soap favors. You can even purchase in bulk and save money.
