a friend from church is very graciously giving me a shower and I think inviting all the ladies from our small church and offered to let me invite a couple coworkers and 2 neighbors. My family is all half way across the country and this is my only shower. Due to this arrangement it looks like a lot of people will be there. I really would like to give her a hostess gift but don't know even where to start. Any Hostess Gift Ideas?
Re: gift for Hostess?
I was just thinking about this too! My MIL is going all out for our baby, and for me since my family is across the country too. I'm so glad you have good friends to share the excitement with where you are.
So far I thought of a couple simple things:
A framed photo of the two of us and a thank you note
A simple necklace or earrings with our baby's birthstone... (maybe etsy.com) but I'm due at the beginning of January, so the month is up in the air... Even if it's a friend, it's a cool way to include her more. Or if she has kids, you could get theirs.
Some really nice chocolates from a local shop
Sorry... this wasn't the best list. Good luck!
