host gift?

My mom and H's mom are throwing me a shower together in the next couple weeks, I don't really know what etiquette is but I assume I should be getting them a little gift to say "thanks for throwing me the shower" right?

What did you get for your host? I have no clue! How much do you normally spend?

-Wine is out since only one of them really drinks.

    You do not have to get them a gift! A nice thank you is really the only necessary thing.

    However, hostess gifts are customary in my circle, so I gave mine gift cards to get mani/pedis because they are both reallllly into that stuff. 

    I have also gotten those harry and david baskets, Body shop products, a cheese tray with a spread, jewelry, and flowers.

    Thanks! A little gift basket might be the way to go then, just as  a little gesture of thanks.

    I went to bath and body and grabbed some aromatherapy body wash, a louffa, a lotion, and a body spray I know my mom will like and made a little gift basket out of them :) They were having a huge sale though so it ended up being way cheaper for me to do this over buying their pre-done gifts.

    A group of ladies are throwing my wife's shower so we are getting them all MAC gift cards and the gift cards all come in a compact, so it's a little something extra.

    You don't have to get a gift, but I think it's the best thing to do. Planning a shower is a lot of work. Gift cards allow folks to have a little fun and it's not too much work on you since you are pregnant.

    I got mine all cute umbrellas and shower gels/lotion and I am attaching a card to the umbrellas that say "Thanks for showering me with lots of love, hope your next shower is as wonderful as mine was!"
