    My host is my BFF for 18 years. She always talks about how she wants a professional massage, but can't afford one. I am getting her a $150 gift card to a local massage place (that should cover at least 3 massages - depending on the type she chooses).

    I always give gift cards that I know the hostess will like. I've done massage, sushi restaurant, Victoria's Secret... I can't rememeber what else.

    I had bookmarked this one for ideas: https://pandce.****/thread/162792/shower-host-gifts

    As hostess gifts for showers I've received a willow tree angel, a journal/pen set, and most recently kitchen hand towels, pot holders, and soap in a little package.  All three were unexpected and appreciated.

    I think I might do wine and chocolates or cute coffee cups with gift cards for my shower hostesses.

    I'm doing "from my shower to yours," with wine, bath stuff, maybe a book. Although the wine book are more for a bath tub than a shower.

    This is my plan for two of my hostesses.  A small bottle of wine, candle, bubble bath, etc.

    We just bought a nice potted plant. Sounds boring but we had it special made and it turned out very pretty!

    My mom hosted my shower and I got her a digital picture frame. Once DD was here I loaded it with tons of pictures of her Big Smile and still do that for her from time to time.

    My Mom doesn't want a gift for it, so I spent more on her Mother's Day gift and called it good.

    Since I'm helping my BFF financially with her shower, I wasn't planning on buying her anything.

    I've hosted a lot of showers and I only once got a gift.  It was an organic spa set.  Had a candle, perfume, and other bath accessories.  It was a really nice gesture and stood out to me.  I think a hostess gift is kind of a new trend, but I like it!  I don't think it has to be anything huge or grand to show someone you appreciate them.
