Hostess gifts for baby shower??

in January 2015 Moms
I am having two baby showers, one in my home town and one where DH is from. My Mom and 3 close family friends are throwing my shower where I'm from and I have plan for their gifts. I'm thinking some things from bath and. Body works and a note that says "From my shower to yours, thanks for showering us with love". I am having trouble finding gifts for my SIL, my husband's aunt, and my husband's best friend's mom though, because I want to use this similar theme, but am flying there so can't bring an abundance of liquid on the plane. I feel so lucky to have such wonderful ladies throwing me a shower, and I just want to be able to give them a little something to thank them.

    I'm flying in for mine as well, so I'm just going to pick up a gift when I get there. I was planning to get a bottle of wine and a fall candle (sounds like a generic gift, but she loves those things).

    Or ship them there, and wrap them up when you get there.  Or if you're checking a bag, which might not be a bad idea so you can bring back some gifts in it, you could load that thing up with liquids ;)

    Yes, this as well!

    Most people are shipping the gifts to our house, but some people are not so I'm checking an extra bag.

    I love the "from my shower to yours"!! Would you be able to buy the bath and body stuff upon landing? What a great idea! My cousin made us cookies when we threw hers and it was such an unexpected sweet surprise! Completely unnecessary as I don't think a hostess gift is necessary, but 100% enjoyed. :)

    We are driving long distance to ours so I am sending chocolate covered strawberries to my hostesses.

    Also could go the route of a GC if you won't have time to shop when you get there and don't want to ship or pack anything.  Not as cute and personally though.

    @ladyamanuet How about chocolates or a fresh fruit arrangement?  Or you could wait until after and do a thank you/hostess gift then if you want something more personal.  The bath stuff would work too but may be an issue if there is a chance that your hostess is sensitive strong scents (like mine so I can't steal the awesome idea :( )

    I'm sending my sister something when she returns home... I thought about getting her a bottle of wine but I don't want her to worry about carrying something else on the plane with a 2 year old and a 3 month old.
