For my MIL we went for a massage together (she doesn't get them often) and I got her a I Love Grandma frame. Probably about $150<br /> For my friend I got her chevron throw pillow cases she wanted from Etsy. About $60. Had I known my good friend didn't just help out but also split the bill with my MIL I would have def spent $100+.</p> <p>They both DIYed for the weddings on top of spending $$$! My MIL handmade stained glass favors for all the guests. My friend put together a dessert table, made napkin rings, a name banner, etc etc! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-hostess-gifts-1#post-130040 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 14:27:36 +0000 heffalump 130040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about a $50 gift certificate to a spa? You can get one that has a bunch of different spas on it so they can pick what they want to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-hostess-gifts-1#post-130035 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 14:25:08 +0000 MamaLove 130035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any ideas on what to give the ladies who are throwing my baby shower? They have put a LOT of time and effort into this shower and I want to do something special.</p> <p>I thought of the standard massage or mani/pedi, but one gets massages all the time. The other gets mani/pedis all the time but doesn't like massages... etc.</p> <p>Any other ideas?</p> <p>Also, any ideas on how much is reasonable to spend on each one? There are three ladies. I thought about $100 each... but that quickly adds up when we are planning for a baby soon. However, I know they spent a lot of money on the shower.</p> <p>Thoughts?? </p>
