For any type of event we always love to give out memorable and useful favors. For our recent Lil Boo Halloween Baby Shower, we wanted to give guests favors that were themed to perfectly coordinate with this not so spooky shower. These DIY ghost favor jars were filled with colorful candies, had free printable tags, and featured a darling felt ghost all tied up with a sweet black and white baker's twine bow!
