Shower Hostess Gifts

I know some of you have already had your baby shower(s) and others have ours coming up quickly.  I'm wondering if you got a gift for the hostess?  I have three people hosting my shower (mom, sister and aunt) I've been searching Pinterest for the perfect gifts, but so far nothing jumps out at me.  Would love you hear/see what you're planning on giving!

Re: Shower Hostess Gifts

  • I got little jewelry dishes for my shower hostesses.

  • We're probably going to take my MIL out for a really nice dinner since she's arranging most of my shower, but I have zero ideas on what to do for my sister and friends who are involved. 
  • I just had mine yesterday and I've been having the same dilemma. I think I am settled on making each of them a terrarium. I had 4 hostesses so if I'm not careful it can get expensive but the terrarium glass goes for about $12-14 a piece and you can get all the plants,soil, moss plus anything else you want to add for a good price at Lowe's or home depot. I liked this idea because terrariums are super cute and they're homemade so it's from the heart and you can add personalized touches to each of them.
  • I am having a very small church sprinkle ((begrudgingly on my part) thrown for me -- I was planning on buying a nice bouquet of flowers to bring for the two women that were heading it up
  • For my mom and MIL I picked up these "all in 1" self contained grow kits from Etsy. The shop has a ton of options but I picked up the zinnias.

    For my sister and SIL I picked up some mugs from Etsy and a Starbucks GC because they're both huge coffee drinkers.

  • We did the "a toast to the host" wine bottleidea from Pinterest... we had both of my DH sisters to get something for and luckily for us they are wine drinkers. We didn't know exactly what kind to get them but we just found something with a cool bottle that kinda reflected their personalities. I'm sure they will appreciate anything you do. We have one more planned for Feb so I have to come up with something for my sister in law between now and then. 
  • I made a custom coffee cup for my SIL that says "only the best sisters get promoted to aunt" with a flower design that I picked out.

  • I got the host two vegan cookbooks (since she's vegan) and her boyfriend who loves coffee, I got him two different bags of special coffee from Portland.

  • My sisters are both throwing me one. One sister her best friend makes bath bombs and I'm going to buy her that. My other sister I think I'm going to get her some wine. Mine are in 2 weeks. 

  • I got my SIL a $50 gift card to Etsy to buy a decor piece or two she likes for her house (she is VERY particular). I also got her a bouquet of flowers, a butcher block serving tray with copper handles that was a regift, and a copper bowl (she loves copper).

    My mom and aunt helped with the shower, too, but my SIL was the only actual hostess. I gave my mom and aunt a solid thank you, and tried to take them to lunch but my mom wouldn't let me pay!
  • I saw a deal for cool watches while I was home from work yesterday (normally $300 for $39!)  I ordered them and figure if they aren't nice/cool I will return and try to find something else.  I got these for my 2 BFFs who are helping plan with MIL.

    I will probably get MIL something grandma related from Pandora.
