Shower hostess gifts?

My first shower is tomorrow and I completely forgot about hostess gifts. Any ideas? There are 3 hostesses so I'd like to keep it less than $20 per person. Tia!

    Who is giving the shower? My MIL and DH's grandma did mine, so I gave them a nice grandmother frame and a potted amaryllis. You could do a gift certificate for a mani or pedi. Other ideas: a nice box of chocolate or sweet treats, Starbucks giftcard, stationary set, candle or flowers.

    Go to the beauty store or a place like that and get a nice candle and write a sweet note!

    You could have flowers delivered to them in a couple of days with a nice thank you note.

    For the last two showers I hosted, I got nice bottles of wine as a gift. Then found out I was PG a few days later, before I could enjoy them. Oh well, guess they will keep! But it was a very thoughtful gift as I love wine. The other hostesses got a cute picture frame, a pair of mittens, and some fancy chocolates. So you have plenty of options!

    For my hostesses I made a "Hostess with the Mostest" gift basket.  I went to Ross and filled a basket with pretty napkins, nice kitchen towels, cute stationary, etc.  They both love it.  

    And remember, Emily Post says that you give them the hostess gift AFTER the party or a couple of days late, but not before or during the party.  :-)  I'm an etiquette freak.

    I gave mine a collapsable picnic basket, two plastic wine glasses and a bottle of wine.  I got them at World Market and each gift basket was about $20 each.  I also had three hostesses.
