hostess gift for mom?

MrsDeHav

i'm an only child and my mom is mainly hosting the baby shower by herself.  she had some help with theme and game ideas from 2 of my friends who are also helping to set up.  i'm getting my friends a wine themed thank you gift basket.

my mom is hosting the luncheon at a nice restaurant, footing the whole bill and has already bought A TON of presents (crib, mattress, pnp, baby clothes, wishing well items, etc).  what should i get her as a hostess gift?

Jewerly?  I think my mom is doing my shower, and has been really generous too, so that's what I might do.  Maybe something setimental, like a locket, engraved something, or use birthstones?

How about a spa gift certificate? Maybe doing it together as a way to say thank you and spend some time together. Doesn't have to be a whole package - mani/pedi and a lunch out.

I signed up for these websites - Groupon.com & Dealtificate.com - they have daily email specials for certain cities.They often have spa deals there like  pay 30 dollars and get 60 dollars worth of services. I have bought a few things from them and have been happy so far

Well, aside from a grandchild ...

I would get her a lovely bouquet of her favorite flowers from a local florist and make her a "grandma's survival basket" that will give her some staples to keep at her house for when you and baby visit (lotion, soap, pacifiers, diapers, wipes, a few receiving blankets, etc.)  I think she would think that was really thoughtful.

My mom has a charm bracelet so I got her a baby boy charm.

My mom is throwing my shower too with a "nesting" bird theme. I bought her a really pretty handmade necklace that is a gold bird's nest from Etsy.com
