Parenting after a Loss

what did you give your shower hostess(es)?

my shower (small gtg with friends only) is next weekend and i need to get a couple of hostess gifts.  i originally wanted to do mani/pedi gift cards, but my shower is out of state (back in philly) and the 2 hostesses live in different areas so i wouldn't know what to get them if i went that route.  any suggestions?

  • I got my MIL a bouquet from edible arrangements. I got my bff & SIL gift baskets from bath & body works. I got them on sale.....?
  • Loading the player...
  • I had two showers.  I got my two  friends little gift baskets from a specialty gift shop here and had it wrapped up nicely. 

    The shower I had in Huntsville, I had 4 hostesses and because I am a cheapy... I went to the dollar tree and got some cute candle holder things, then bath and body works and got some bath/spa stuff.

  • I sent them flowers.
  • I got them some candles.
  • I gave my MIL a set of adorable glasses with a serving tray and decorative napkins from IKEA (totally up her alley) and a bottle of Kahlua.

    For my family's shower I gave each of my aunts and my mom matching Vera Bradley Christmas ornaments in the Breast Cancer awareness Pinwheel Pink pattern.  I think they were $18 each and came in a really cute fabric box.  I wrapped them in clear celephane with those crinkly paper shreds and tied with a bow... they were really cute and festive!  Perfect for this time of year too:)

  • My mom hosted my shower and I gave her a Grandma's Brag Book along with a $10 snapfish.com gift certificate.  I also gave her two Yankee Candles - one spicy smelling and one sweet smelling because the theme of my shower was Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice.
