My shower is saturday and i just now realized i haven't gotten the hostess' a gift yet!
There are two, one is my SIL and the other is my aunt-in-law. They will both be aunt's of the baby so i was thinking something aunt related, but i don't have time to order something online. Any suggestions?

I have the same issue, mine is Sunday. My husband graciously picked up two alex and ani bracelets and I will write out a heartfelt card to each host but I don't know if I should do more. Sorry to be no help

What about a picnic basket (you can probably find at Hobby Lobby or Michael's) filled with goodies and wine and a note saying thanks for being the good kind of aunt.

I would think of something that might appeal to them based on their interests. For example, I got my mom a really pretty bowl that I thought she would like when my SIL's hosted my shower at her house. Or if they like wine, you could do a nice bottle of wine with maybe some sort of wine accessory. Not sure what your budget is but if you can't think of anything last minute, a gift card to a restaurant they like is always appreciated. Although, I know some people hate to do gift cards. Lastly, I sent flowers to DH's aunt after she threw me a beautiful shower.

I got one of my hostesses a gift box of 4 jars locally made salsa of various flavors. The other hostess I got another gift box with dried cherries, trail mix, etc. from the same local company. I live in a very local foodie town and gifts like that, or a nice olive oil/vinegar pairing are my go-tos.

I agree with PP to get them something based on their interest. You can always throw in an "aunt" picture frame if they are into that kind of thing.

I got mine something baby-related and then something that I knew they liked.
So, for baby related, I actually got books that were like "grandma and me" board books - as a gift from a baby to start their collection, since they'll all be babysitters from time to time. You could do something similar with a picture frame. And then I added a gift of either wine, candles, etc. - something I knew they liked getting.

My MIL and really good friend hosted mine. I treated MIL to a massage and got my friend these throw pillows she was eyeing up on etsy.

I gave each a bottle of bubbly, which they put in the fridge to enjoy after the shower.

I took mine out to dinner and a show a few weeks after the shower.
