Friend that's throwing shower is pregnant too--wwyd?

My friend that is throwing the shower (and we aren't even super close, but she loves party planning) is 6 weeks behind me with her 2nd child.  She originally wanted to do a gender reveal party for herself, but because another friend of hers is doing one and they are due around the same time so she changed her mind. 

I feel a little guilty having a shower thrown for me, and I'd like to do something for her as well.   Does anyone have any suggestions of something that I can do for her, and I have no problem if it's during my shower as well.  I just want to show my appreciation.

    Offer to baby sit her little one while her and DH go to dinner and a movie. You could buy a dinner or movie gift certificate.

    Offer to baby sit for her so she can get a manicure or pedicure. Buy her a spa gift certificate.

    Invite her to go to lunch and shopping (or something else) with you (if you know she can find a sitter or her DH is home).

    I wouldn't do anything during the shower.

    I agree with PP, don't do anything during your shower. It's your special day. Definitely give her a thank you gift or do something nice for her to show your appreciation. Maybe a gift card to a maternity store, offer to baby sit, a gift certificate for a mani/pedi, whatever you'd think she'd like.

    I'm throwing my friend a shower and she is 5 weeks behind me. I'm not expecting anything in return (this is my second and I don't want/need another shower). We are very close though is the only difference.

    My guess is that your friend is like me and not expecting anything in return (just enjoying being part of you celebrating your child!). I would just get her LO a gift around the time they are born.

    My BFF is also pregnant with her first - 8 weeks behind me.  I've been thinking about getting her a certificate for a prenatal massage as a thank you. 

    And I only hope I can throw her one - I think she wants to have hers around the time I'm due.  So I'll have to split responsibilities with her cousin or someone in case I have to miss it.

    If she offered to throw it for you, I don't think you need to do anything specifically during your own shower. But acknowleging the host is also nice and appreciated. I would just buy a nice or practical hostess gift .
