Shower Hostess Thank You Gifts

annael415 · May 2014

What are you all giving as thank you gifts? I tried to look through a couple pages and didn't see anything so sorry if this was just discussed. I have about 5-6 people I need to buy for and was trying to look through etsy, but it gets overwhelming. Any cute ideas?

My sisters are throwing my shower. I ordered Alex & Ani bracelets for them with the "aunt" charm.

I got these cute steel basket things and put a beach towel, tanning lotion, and pre-mixed margarita bottles in it. Then I wrote in the card, "Thanks for all your help making my shower wonderful. Now take an afternoon and go relax by the pool."

Oh, I love the pool kit idea. I might have to steal that one. One of the ladies hosting my shower is having her 3rd baby and is due 3 weeks after me, so I might make her a special one that is a pre-push basket for relaxation or something. Any STMs have tips on what should be included in that?

I did philosophy bath products and a makeup bag set for my two SIL's and MIL for the shower they hosted.

For my two BFF's I found these really adorable gold chains that have a circle with their initial stamped on it. It's a bit more $$ than I'd expect to spend on something like this, but I love my BFF's and we don't often buy each other gifts.

I have 3 aunts hosting 1 shower. I plan on giving them a gift certificate for a mani/pedi at their local nail salon and attaching that to my favorite bottle of Trader Joe wine (I miss that wine..).

For those doing hostess gifts, are you planning on giving them at your shower or following up soon after?

I'm treating my hostess to a pedicure at her favorite salon (and using it as an excuse to join her!). @weezy2012 I'm going to give it to her beforehand so we can both have pretty toenails for the shower.

@enigmasara‌ that sounds so relaxing right about now.

@salsy2012 can you put a link to the bracelets on here? I tried finding them on the website but I couldn't and I'm really interested in what they look like! Thanks!

I think I'll most likely take my mom and sister for a pedicure before my shower. It's still up in the air if I will be having another shower thrown by BF side...(last minute planners) and its stressing me out. But I'll do the same for them too.

I am not having a shower this time but here is what I gave my hostess: potted plant for my aunt, cupcake accessories for my work friend, and small jewerly items for my SIL's.

I never received hostess gifts before but it is a nice gesture. To be honest, I didn't even think about it until it was mentioned here a few weeks ago! My shower is this Sunday, and my sister is throwing it for me. I called and scheduled mani/pedi's for us for Saturday afternoon. I was going to give her a gift, but figured it would be fun to go together and who doesn't love a mani/pedi?! I just called and told her what time to be there otherwise I know she would have told me it was unnecessary (which she did anyway!)

I was pretty young when we got married (I'm totally using that as part of my excuse) and had no idea giving hostess gifts as a thank you was even a thing. I feel like an ass now.

Yea I've never heard of this before. I've hosted a baby shower before and all I assumed was that my sister would host one for me in turn, which she is doing in a couple weeks.

My sisters hosted my NC shower this past Saturday, and two friends will be hosting my KS shower in two weeks.

I planned to take my sisters for mani/pedis before the shower, but we ran out of time, so I just sent them (and my mom who helped) each a set of body wash, body scrub, lotion, and spray from Bath and Body Works. They have free shipping and $10 off right now, plus buy 3 get 3 free, and you can ship to multiple addresses with a gift message. I got the 12 products plus shipping to three addresses for $75! I stole @majgarriss 's idea for the message and said "Thank you for making my shower fabulous. Here's a little something to make your next one great as well."

I will probably do the same for my friends who are hosting my other shower.
