My hostess gift idea? NEED HELP
My idea is to make a lil gift basket with all blue things in it!!!! Since I am having a boy. A couple ideas i thought of were Blue nail polish, one of those blue cold eye relax things, Blue flower seeds, DO you guys have any other ideas?

Re: My hostess gift idea? NEED HELP
a handwritten thank you note... and personally, if you're going that route, I'd much rather have something to eat or drink instead of blue nail polish I would never use.
Blue hand lotion...full size or purse size (Bath and Body works has the small ones, super cute), hand sanitizer, candy, a blue colored flavor of Jones soda, toe seperators, Nail file, canndles...hope these help!
I think you may have given me an idea actually
are these things your hostess will like though?
I mean, while the theme is cute FOR YOU, the hostess gift is a thank you to them for all they've done for you... it's not necessary to make it baby-related or "cute", just be thoughtful about it. if they like blue crap then go crazy but I know I for one hate both pink and blue (yeah I know I'm gonna have to get over this once baby is here as it's hard to keep things neutral color)
For my girls hosting my shower I am doing large thank you baskets of chocolates. I will make chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate covered pecans & walnuts, cookies, brownies, mini cakes, large cocoa mugs, different hot cocoas, bags of chocolate marshmellows. I will come up with more than enough stuff. Can never go wrong with chocolate.
For my guests I am making mini pumpkin breads since we have a lil something already in the oven and the shower is in November. With the breads will be red raspberry teas and a candle for each guest to take home.
For at least one gift, I printed out 5x7's of good pics that each of them had taken with their children and posted on Facebook. Then I bought nice frames to put them in. I will write:
A Special Gift from me and my baby to you and yours, or something like that. Now that I write it out, I have to word it cuter, but you get the gist.
Anyway, I also bought little cute notecards and notepads and a nice cutting board engraved with last initial from: Polka Dot Divas. This store (actual store but online also) has a lot of very cute/unique stuff if your recipients are at all girly or sarcastic.
