Whats everyone else dong for shower hostess gifts?

I have two baby showers, one next month and one in Nov. and I really want to do something nice for the hostess (my mom/sisters, and my best friend)  but I have no idea what to get? 

I was thinking I could bring flowers with, then they can put them somewhere in their house for the shower, and then maybe a gift cert. to a fav. restaurant or something?  Any better ideas?  What are you doing?

Re: Whats everyone else dong for shower hostess gifts?

  • I have been thinking about the same thing.  My ideas: mani/pedi gift certificates, candy, stationary, or grandma frames (my big shower will be hosted by my mom and stepmom).  I am also curious to see what other people are thinking of doing.

  • My friends and family don't do the hostess gift.  We just take turns hosting showers for each other..f.or weddings and babies :O)  Nice and simple!!

  • Starbucks gift cards are what I gave my bridal shower hostesses.  :)  But they looooooove starbucks.
    I used to be a big deal.  Now I'm just old. 
  • I make handmade natural and organic soap and actually have a small business doing that so my friends are always asking to preview the newest scents and products. I'm going to give a few bars to each girl with a tag that says, "From our shower to yours".

    And yes, my soap is available for purchase Big Smile (hint, hint) 

  • I did GCs for massages for my last shower. The hostesses loved them! 
  • Im going to make up little wine gift baskets for both of my hostess

  • I had one of those cute return address stamps made for my hostess and we all went for mani pedis together before the shower so I picked up her tab.  I noticed she hand wrote all of the return addresses on the invitations so I thought the stamp idea was cute.

  • I am having two showers.  One hosted by my SIL and one by MIL (one on my side of the family, one on DH's).  I was going to give my SIL a gift card for dinner and offer to babysit my nieces.  I think I am going to make a picture frame for my MIL that says something like "I love Grandma" or something along those lines.

  • I got my mom a pandora charm for her bracelet--a Teddy bear to represent our baby. My sister is also pg, so I bought her nursing pjs for after her LO is here. My little sister is still in need of growing up, so I went practical and bought her a new power cord for her laptop. Since I got a great deal on it, I'll add a target or walmart gift card to it. For others, mani/pedi certificates sound great! I have no idea what to get my mil when she hosts one for me (IF this actually happens)

  • Since our lil man has a Christmas season due date, I am going to get my sisters and friends different "best aunt" Christmas ornaments.  It's not too pricey and I think pretty thoughtful!
