  One of my really good friends and my mom are hosting mine.

  I'm getting my mom a card, a grandma picture frame and a nice shirt with earrings (clothes have always been a big gift between her and I so its kind of tradition) For my friend I'm taking her to lunch and we are getting pedicures after. She has a little girl who always says "duck duck duck duck" and I've been collecting cute little rubber ducks the last few months to give to her daughter. 

  Since you have quite a few hostesses I would keep it simple, but definitely make it something personal to each of them. I'm huge on personalizing things like that. Hosting a shower or a party for someone is a lot of work. 
  

  :.:.Dear baby boy, No one will ever know the strength of my love for you. After all, you're the only one who knows what my heart sounds like from the inside.:.:

  I haven't had my baby showers yet, but I did give hostess gifts for my bridal shower.  For my Mom's shower - I went to a little gift shop and got my Mom two pictures that she hung in her kitchen.  And I got my sisters, pretty little trays that you'd use to put your jewelry in.  For my MIL's shower - I send my MIL flowers, which she loves getting, and got my SIL a GC for a pedi/mani.

  I got customized keychains or necklace for my mom and friend who are hosting the shower. This is the seller I used on Ebay: https://www.etsy.com/shop/buttonit.  https://www.etsy.com/transaction/79748217They customized it with our little guys name on it (which is yet to be revealed) as well as their relation to him (grandmother, godmother). I thought it would be a fun way to reveal the name to the ladies that have put in so much work and time. It looks amazing and sells for about $20 bucks.

  Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml

  I sell Mary Kay on the side and my hostesses are all customers too.  So I am taking a couple of their favorite, most purchased items and giving them to them in a goody bag

  I'm making 4 of these for one hostess, and will probably package it up with a cute tea towel and a thank you card.

  Another hostess loves wine so I'm going to make her a little basket with one or two bottles of wine, some gourmet crackers, spiced nuts, and maybe something sweet like chocolate or candy of some kind.

  My 2 friends are hosting. I know they have a tradition of going to this one restaurant together about once a month, so I'm giving them a $50 gift card to there. I wasn't sure on how much to spend but figure $25 each is somewhere in the not too little, not too much range.
