I need some ideas on what to get the girls throwing my baby shower. I want to show them how much I appreciate how hard they have been planning. I know its not cheap to throw a shower of any kind and I just want to give back. Thanks for your ideas!!
I gave my step mother in law a fancy organic olive oil/vinegar gift set, and my mother in law and grandmother in law organic soap sets. I am still trying to figure out what to do for the girl who threw me my other shower - but she's a small business owner so I've been trying to promote her baby picture business at the childbirth classes I went to.
I'm still a college/graduate student, so my spending limit was a little low- and not helped by the fact that there were three planners for each of the two showers. So I got these cute personalized mugs from Anthropologie and filled them with Hershey's kisses and hot chocolate mix. The first one is tomorrow so I hope they like them!
My mom and MIL hosted and I got them each a GC for a pedicure, they loved it.

I just got invited to my first shower and I really don't know exactly who is planning it, lol. Know the MIL for sure, but I don't know if any of my SIL's were involved.

SIL and MIL hosted one shower and I gave them a bottle each of their favorite wine.
Two of my good friends hosted my other shows and they each got a GC to a local spa.

Also, I am from the greater Seattle area, too!
At the end of the shower is what I did.
Make sure to say thank you in front of all the guests though. Just a little extra thanks and acknowledgement
