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!!

    My mother and mil threw my shower and I had my husband bring each of them a boquet of flowers as a thank you.  They loved the flowers.

    If they are wine drinkers, I've got an idea.  This might be more than you want to spend, but it's what I got my hostesses: https://www.amazon.com/HIC-Brands-that-Cook-R-5060C/dp/B005H98M9A

    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 gave my sister in law an Alex and Ani "aunt" bracelet. She loved it! ?

    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.

    I gave my 3 friends a nice bottle of wine wrapped in a decent dish towel.  If they are gardners, maybe a nice plant.

    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!

    A friend of mine did monogrammed umbrellas... I thought that was a super cute idea bc of the play on "shower" and we live in FL so it's useful too!

    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.

     

    Also, I am from the greater Seattle area, too!

    I'm still not sure what to get my friend that's hosting mine.  How much do most people spend?  Do you give it to them the day of the shower or later?

    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

    The couple who threw our shower had just moved into a new place, so we got them a gift card to the Container Store.
