Thank you gift for baby shower host?

I have a few people organizing a baby shower for me and I was wondering if there's any etiquette around giving a gift to the host? I'm certainly sending a thank you card but I was wondering whether a gift is something I should plan on getting. I'll like to get other people's thoughts or what they plan to do.

  • I can't link on mobile but if you type "how to thank shower host" you will see that there is a thread from not too long ago with a lot of good ideas.

  • @Aquinna82 thanks lady! That's the one I was talking about.
  • My mom and best friend are throwing mine. My mom lives with us so she will be with us during the infant stage...That being said I'm planning on getting her some spa stuff and comfy jammies. Lord knows we will all be losing some sleep. I'm getting my best friend something vulgar. She cusses like a sailor and I found some hilarious vulgar candles I know she will love.

  • My friend and my sister are "hosting" mine, just for etiquette's sake...but I am a control freak and LOVE to plan (and they aren't/don't), so I am really doing all the work.  It will be at my house, and I'm designing and ordering invitations.  My friend is pitching in on food and decorations, but we will still be paying for more than half (we are fully covering invites and cake and going halve-sies with her on food and decorations), and my sister is really poor, so she won't be helping at all financially.  Both will help me set up and decorate at the house that day.

    So...what the heck do I give as a Thank You in this weird situation??
  • @Sharra13 a nice thank you card with a hand written note.

  • I had one recently and I gave my two friends each a flower arrangement (I'm a wedding florist anyway) and a thank you card. 
  • thanks everyone... i really like the flower arrangement and/or small plant as a gift to go along with the card

  • I'm giving my host a zombie-shaped wine spout, but that's probably pretty friend-specific :smiley:
