Gift for baby shower hosts?

in December 2017 Moms
Had I been on the ball 2 mos ago, I would have put together something really personal and awesome for the hosts of our two baby showers, but I just wasn't. Now there's no way I have the energy to go out and buy, then put together anything awesome, much less figure out how to mail it to our hosts (they live 2 hours away). 

Anyone have any ideas or get their hosts something awesome that I could maybe order online that isn't some cheesy, plastic wrapped basket of fruit and crackers?

    I got one of my hostesses a gift card for a spa treatment.  I am trying to figure out what to get the other one. Have you checked out the site Uncommon Goods? They have some really interesting and creative gifts.

    I had this same question a while back & was relieved to discover that nothing too over the top was expected (because I had 2 days to deal). We ended up getting a nice bottle of wine for each hostess--they both really like wine and we know their tastes.

    I got one hostess a marble and wooden cheese board with gold cheese knives from crate and barrel, and I got another hostess for my other shower a gift certificate for $100 for her and her husband to go out to dinner at their favorite restaurant. She hates spas, bath products, and makeup. So my normal gifts couldn’t apply ;)
    I had another close friend help out a lot with cleanup and set up for my second shower, and even though she wasn’t an official hostess, I got her a Target gift card - she’s a teacher and mom of 2, so I know she’ll use it.

    I got my hostesses each a Birchbox gift set (the kind with full size products). I picked one that was suited for each of them individually. I even was successful in not ordering anything for myself!

    I have had two showers shared between 3 hostesses. 
    I got 1 who doesn’t have a lot of disposable money a nice wedding planning book (she got engaged a week before my shower). 
    1 a bottle of wine and a gift card to a book store as she never spends $$ on herself 

    the next, was tough as I’m not super close, she’s busy with university and her job and is active in a church. Wine didn’t work for her, and gift cards felt blah. I remembered at a church fundraiser how excited she was that my dad’s made molasses bread (everyone loves his homemade bread, but this had molasses and wasn’t extra awesome). I made a gift basket of the homemade bread (I have a bread machine so it wasnt much work), a 1L bottle of milk in the basket along with some jam and candy cane caramel corn. I am super proud of that gift! I may use it to inspire some Xmas gifts as everyone loves homemade bread so I may do baskets of bread, wine, cheese, cutting board, knife/spreader, etc.  

    I just need an idea for the person hosting my work shower...
