Similar to @bakerbee, I had 11 hostesses so I couldn't spend as much as I would have liked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-hostess-gifts-1#post-1710468 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 16:31:06 +0000 MamaG 1710468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had Mrs. Fields cookies delivered to my hosteses after the shower. I wasn't very prepared and didn't have something ready to present at the time of the shower. And there was something that felt "ok" about sending it after the fact, just like a thank you card. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-hostess-gifts-1#post-1710346 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 15:45:46 +0000 swurlygurl 1710346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BakerBee: 12 hosts! :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-hostess-gifts-1#post-1710317 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 15:36:16 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1710317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chocolate is decadent. I'd go with that and a coffee table book that fits with each hostess' interest. They can look at the book and eat chocolate and think of you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-hostess-gifts-1#post-1710304 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 15:31:00 +0000 LBee 1710304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did anthropologie coffee mugs with their initials on them + a hot chocolate mix from a local spice store!</p> <p>I had 12 (!!!) hosts so I couldn't go too overboard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-hostess-gifts-1#post-1710236 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 14:58:09 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1710236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: for my baby shower, I have each of the hostesses a gift. </p> <p>SO CHEESY but I got them all shower themed gifts. Umbrellas, body wash, loofahs, pampering type gifts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-hostess-gifts-1#post-1710229 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 14:56:16 +0000 Happygal 1710229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Someone gave me a cookbook that I love. Maybe for your entertaining host, one of the Barefoot Contessa's book would be good for her!</p> <p>@My Only Sunshine: clever! I'm bad at thinking of things like that.</p> <p>@Mrs.Someone: have fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-hostess-gifts-1#post-1710220 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 14:54:24 +0000 My Only Sunshine 1710220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did gifts sets of fun scents of Philosophy shower gel with a big poufy loofah with a note that said something like "I hope your next shower is as great as mine was!" </p> <p>At the last minute I almost ditched the whole thing because I thought it was too cheesy but my hostesses (my sisters and my husband's aunts) loved it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-hostess-gifts-1#post-1709711 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 12:35:18 +0000 Mrs D 1709711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a hair straightener cover and small jewelry travel bag from Vera Bradley. I got them during a sale - different colors for my two hostesses, and think I spent $40 on each lady. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-hostess-gifts-1#post-1709696 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 12:31:30 +0000 Boogs 1709696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: I'm sure they aren't expecting anything, but would be appreciate of anything you gave. Maybe you could ask around to find out where they normally go? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-hostess-gifts-1#post-1709689 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 12:30:00 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1709689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Yea, I guess you can't go wrong with chocolate :)</p> <p>@swurlygurl: Nice idea! I would love something like that, but these ladies probably wouldn't be up for it.</p> <p>@Boogs: So my mom actually was wondering if I need to do anything, but I think I should. I'd be afraid to pick a mani/pedi location since one of the ladies is on the well-to-do side (and the other isn't far off), so I don't think I'd pick correctly.</p> <p>Keep them coming, thanks everyone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-hostess-gifts-1#post-1709664 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 12:24:10 +0000 Boogs 1709664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm naughty and gave nothing. How about a certificate for a mani/pedi? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-hostess-gifts-1#post-1709663 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 12:24:06 +0000 swurlygurl 1709663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gave my hostesses some beautiful potted plants. I knew they loved adding plants to their yard though, and knew their style (MIL and SIL). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-hostess-gifts-1#post-1709658 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 12:20:39 +0000 Adira 1709658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely think coffee/chocolate is a great gift idea!</p> <p>I gave my shower hostess a coffee mug, a gift card to Starbucks, and a bunch of chocolates. She loved it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-hostess-gifts-1#post-1709654 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 12:18:59 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1709654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in need of the HB brilliant idea committee! My shower is coming up in a little over a week and I need to figure out hostess gifts. My first idea was to get some stuff from my <a href="https://www.theochocolate.com/">favorite chocolate factory</a> (I'm always looking for excuses to stop by!) I'm not sure if its interesting enough. I could pair it with a nice plate or bowl?</p> <p>The hostesses are 2 of my cousins, both in their 50s. The main hostess is known for going all-out for parties, and she loves throwing them (shower will be at her home). She is even making sure all the food will be GF for me. The other hostess is flaky and probably won't be doing a whole lot. But either way, I want to get them the same gift, and spend $30-50 each.</p> <p>Thanks in advance :) </p>
