Could use some suggestions for hostess gifts for one of my showers

Hi Ladies,

Everyone always has such good ideas. I'm in a little bit of a situation. I have wonderful family friends that are throwing the first of two showers for me. At first, there were two hostesses. Now there are SEVEN hostesses for the first shower. I love them all to death and want to give them a nice gift but can't spend very much money at all now that there are so many people hosting it. My other shower has two hostesses so I feel a little more like I will be able to figure out something for them.

Any ideas?? I didn't even know half the people were going to host the shower until I got the invite. I know its going to be an awesome shower and I can't wait to be around such wonderful people. I just really don't want to look like a huge cheapskate (but then again I can't really afford a ton either! )

 Thanks in advance!!!

    Why don't you invite all 7 of them over for lunch or dinner and give them a nice card.  When there are that many hostesses I think it's kind of ridiculous for MTB's to have to purchase gifts for each one.  The other thing you could do is get each one a potted plant (gerber daisy, etc) and put a ribbon around the pot along with a card.  In days gone by, a card only was acceptable with a heartfelt thank you inside of course.

    You could make them each a basket with assorted things that they enjoy. For example, one of my hosts enjoys coffee so I made a basket with chocolate covered espresso beans, a bag of gourmet coffee, a couple of mugs, and some cookies. Total cost was about $25 

     

    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.

    I would invite everyone who hosted both showers over for dinner and baby time once baby is born.  They'll love the opportunity to see the baby and everyone enjoys a good, home made meal.

    Potted plant, flowers, small gc from Starbucks, homemade treats (brownies, cookies, etc) There are tons of options for hostess gifts that can be budget friendly.

    my answer is always cookies. get small baskets or tins from the dollar store and fill then with home made cookies. also add a nice cookie recipe card on each one.

    I found tervis tumblers at BB&B with the letter of their first names and filled them with their favorite canndy.  For my second shower I found cute little makeup bags monogrammed with the letter of their first name.
