And I love the idea of something delicious to eat. The pralines sound really good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-hostess-gifts-5#post-1804631 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 19:41:11 +0000 Mrs. Coral 1804631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's not Detroit, but it's Michigan...you can order gift boxes of varying prices from Benjamin Twigg (cherry products), Cherry Republic, and American Spoon Foods (Mochigan made jams, salsas, BBQ sauce, etc.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-hostess-gifts-5#post-1804526 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 19:16:50 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1804526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cole: hmm I did a search and think your state is famous for cherries and peppermint. Those are two items you can definitely send in the mail. Peppermint candy and hot chocolate yum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-hostess-gifts-5#post-1804466 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 19:01:53 +0000 Kelley_lovelikecrazy 1804466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cole: Hahaha!

We're known for cars and blight- bet you can't guess where I live! (And I LOVE it here, those two things are such a tiny piece of this place, i hate that it gets a bad reputation) </p> <p>There are some fun local places though like a place that roasts nuts that come in old fashioned bags, faygo soda in glass bottles, and I could probably find a few other fun things to put in a basket. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-hostess-gifts-5#post-1803958 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 15:46:00 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1803958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cole: my FIL sent us a gift basket full of New Orleans goodies like pralines. It was such a treat for us. What's your city known for? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-hostess-gifts-5#post-1803944 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 15:42:41 +0000 Cole 1803944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks!<br /> @Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I love the idea of something edible, I live in a different city so maybe I will find something from my city.</p> <p>@Kelley_lovelikecrazy: Personally, I love the orchid idea but only one of the people stand a chance at keeping it alive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-hostess-gifts-5#post-1803923 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 15:39:50 +0000 Kelley_lovelikecrazy 1803923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I picked up potted orchids at Lowes as shower gifts. They came in cute little pots and didn't require any ordering or anything. Just a thought! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-hostess-gifts-5#post-1803920 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 15:38:05 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1803920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Perfectly fine to send gifts post-event. How about a floral arrangement or edible gift? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-hostess-gifts-5#post-1803900 Thu, 07 Aug 2014 15:31:46 +0000 Cole 1803900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it OK to send gifts to my shower hostesses after the fact with a nice thank you note or is it preferable to give them out the day of? I am sort of scrambling because my mom and sisters were/are hosting but due to a family emergency note my mil and sil and stepping in and helping a ton since the shower is this weekend. </p> <p>Any suggestions for cute gifts for five people? </p>
