For your shower host

MrsLaLaBug · April 2014

Speaking of baby showers... For those of you who know you are having one or had one in the past, do you plan to/did you give the person/s hosting the shower some type of a "thank-you" gift? Or just send a thank-you note?

My two sisters and mom threw my shower. I made little gift bags with a few lotions and lip balms from an all natural place down here in NC that they like.

Do you give said gifts at the shower, or after?

RobynD99 · April 2014

I've never received or expected a gift as being a shower host before, just thanks and to know they appreciated it.

For my bridal shower I got all the bridesmaids that were hostesses a necklace with a charm on it with their first initial. My MOH is helping my mom and MIL with the baby shower, so I can't repeat it...I don't know what I'll do but I'll figure out something! Maybe I'll get some good ideas from this thread...

My SIL is probably throwing my shower with help from my mom and MIL. I will be getting my sister in law a certificate for a day at the spa. She loves that stuff. I might try to get my mom and MIL a piece of jewelry...maybe something related to baby or being a grandparent.

My mom and sister hosted my shower, and I got them gift certificates for massages as a thank you. They really liked it.

My mom is hosting mine and she is out of state. She has mentioned not being able to attend any appts or ultrasounds so I was thinking of surprising her with an ultrasound appt at an elective place local to her where the shower would be. It would be her thank you for hosting/ first time grandma present.

my friend said she was going to have one for me and i am thinking of getting her a gift card to one of her favorite stores but im not sure if that is good enough

I took mine out to dinner to their favorite restaurant and paid.

My SIL is hosting, and I plan to get her a gift as a thank you. She also hosted my bridal shower, and I did the same then. I really like the idea from PP of a gift certificate for a massage.

My two SILs and my mom hosted mine. I got the SILs jewelry according to their tastes, and a big flower arrangement forymy mom.

Mine was hosted by a coworker. I got her a few things from bath and body works.

ChesTal · April 2014

My best friend is hosting mine, I plan on getting her a bottle of her favorite wine and a massage gift certificate along with a thank you note.

My sister and two SIL's hosted mine. I bought them each a bottle of skinny girl margarita with some colored salt.

Ive hosted/co-hosted a couple baby showers but did not receive a gift. A friend gave her hosts a small "shower" themed basket with shower gel, loofah etc. I will probably do something for sis bc she is doing it almost single-handedly. She started planning my shower in pinterest when I was still in the first tri lol.

Ooh I love that idea for a shower themed gift basket! Very cute. I think I'm going to steal that one.

I just sent thank you notes to everyone, I've never thought of a gift. I will do gifts this time.

whataboutscience · April 2014

For my bridal shower, I just wrote nice thank you notes. Several friends threw it together and I couldn't have gotten them all nice gifts. The same women are doing the baby shower, so it puts me in the same situation if I don't plan to spend a ton thanking them.

JD83 · April 2014

I'm planning on giving bottles of scotch to two of the hosts and something else to the other one. Might be a little overboard but they're worth it.

For 3 coworkers who hosted my work shower, I got them each an orchid plant from SAMs club that was really big and looked nice, but was only $10-12ish each (can't remember). For 2 close friends who threw a really nice, over-the-top shower, I got them nice lotions and bath stuff and candles from Target and put in a gift bag. I think that gift was more like $25-$30 each. I gave the friends their gift directly after the shower and sent a thank you later (also thanking them for their shower gifts.) For the others, I brought them the flowers to work maybe a week later also with the thank you for hosting and their gifts.

I co-hosted my cousin's baby shower a couple years ago and she got me a ticket to an MLB game in Seattle (her and I used to go to games all the time together). I totally wasn't expecting anything and it was a great surprise!
