Mobile users: Creative ideas for hostess gifts needed!

My three girlfriends are really going above and beyond in planning my and DH's baby shower bash at the end of the month. I'd really like to get them great hostess gifts and have been racking my brain and etsy to try to come up with something. They make and do everything by hand for parties, and while I'm not that crafty, I was thinking along the lines of a personalized something. Two have recently purchased new homes, so maybe something nice for their house? Two have or will soon have children (and if there's a certain bumpie lurking on the wrong month board right now you'd best click out of this post! Wink ) so maybe something incorporating their LOs? I'd prefer not to go the bottle of wine/spa gift card route. Any creative ideas, ladies?

On Esty, you can get cute personalized necklaces with stamped pendants, their birth stones, etc.

Check out uncommongoods.com. They have cool [uncommon ] house decor and you could definitely do something personalized and super specific there.

Also, what about those wall hangings that take architectural photos and matte them together to spell a last name? Could be a nice gift to warm up new walls and still personalized. I know Esty has them, personalcreations.com, etc. Not sure if I did an adequate job describing those.

If they like crafting I bet you can get cute personalized supply organizers from Thirty One or something?

I've made some really cute wreaths as gifts. There are so many cute ideas on Pinterest that are way easier than they seem. You could personalize with their initials or the colors of their new homes. I always love a good handmade gift, even if its not perfect!
