Baby Showers

Do you give a hostess gift?

Who is going to give their hostess a "host gift" and what do you plan on giving them?

Re: Do you give a hostess gift?

  • I did. my mom and MIL threw the shower, and my SIL helped with a lot of the planning/decorations, so for SIL I got her a nice travel mug and some starbucks VIA packets and put them in a nice box (like the kind you would put cosmetics in). for my mom I got her a teavana tumbler plus a bunch of tasty tea from teavana, and a box of the new 'top-shelf artesian' fannie may chocolates. for my MIL I got her a starbucks tumber, VIA packets, and the same chocolates. They all loved it!

    I gave cheesy shower caps for my wedding shower, for which I now feel silly. For my baby showers (same hostesses), I just wrote gushing notes of gratitude.
  • For my bridal shower I gave my hostess (my best friend and MOH) a bottle of sparkling wine, a new book on a subject she loves, some chocolates, and a really gushing thank you note.

  • Yes. My Mom and sister are hosting mine. I'm getting my sister a horse charm for her pandora bracelet because she and LO are both horses according to the chinese zodiac (and the only two in the family.) I'm getting my Mom a necklace that will be engraved with LOs name and birthdate after he is born. It is her Mother's Day present too.

  • I got my Mom, Mother-in-law, and sister personalized Tumblers from Tervis Tumber and then bags of flavored coffee. They all love coffee and my Mom fell in love with Tervis so it works out well. I am going to write a nice note to go with it since I will also be asking my sister to be the Godmother and both mom and mother in law will need the coffee since they plan on staying after baby is born. I only get to see my mom and sister every few months so their cups have family pictures on them so that we are always near. 

    I don't think they will be expecting anything (shower is on Sunday) since I missed doing anything for my bridal shower so I think they will be pleasantly surprised.

  • I gave my mom a new Caoch Purse, and my sister $50 to nordstrom, but she is so hard to shop for this was just a better way for her to get what she wants... I also wrote both a gushing thank you note!
    And after my shower i found out my grandpa paid for my venue so i got him some garden toold and some chocolates he loves! :)

    Started TTC in 2006, LOTS of trying, and trying, and 7 rounds of IVF with 13 embryos, 2 perfect little boys and 5 loses....
    All finished with babies, started to make diet changes, Keto, to be MORE for my kids, lost 30 pounds, still going, and 3 months in, I had a natural cycle, and then ovulated... Hubs and I are going to see what happens now... Maybe a natural pregnancy? After everything we have been through? Or just a return to normal hormones? We shall see what the future holds!

    Baby Dust To All!!!
