If you've chosen to be surprised and the sex of your baby will be unknown until that special moment in the delivery room, then the baby shower should be no different. As gender neutral baby showers grow in popularity, it's time to thank our guests for attending… without giving anything away, per se.
These gender neutral baby shower favors are adorable, delicious, and perfectly sweet. And they can work for either sex, whether you choose to know it or not:

Hand Sanitizer
It's an easy process. A small bottle of hand sanitizer (they're made in pretty much any color) with a cute note: "Thank you for coming and touching [the mom-to-be's] life. Now you'll be able to touch her baby." It's cheeky and cute and definitely easy to make. Home by Heidi has all the instructions on how to fashion your own hand sanitizer baby shower favor.
