I got her a lot of high end spa things she wouldn't normally spend money on, nail polish, and I think a fun blouse! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-thank-you-gift-for-hostess#post-2135303 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 14:10:34 +0000 raspberries 2135303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@My Only Sunshine: Awww, that's so cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-thank-you-gift-for-hostess#post-2135300 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 14:09:20 +0000 dc yoga bee 2135300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@My Only Sunshine: I LOVE this idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-thank-you-gift-for-hostess#post-2135294 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 14:06:42 +0000 regberadaisy 2135294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mil and good friend hosted my baby shower. I treated mil to a massage and got my friend. Set of throw pillows with covers she wanted off Etsy.</p> <p>I think in your case a spa day or mani/pedi with dinner afterwards would be nice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-thank-you-gift-for-hostess#post-2135290 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 14:03:58 +0000 My Only Sunshine 2135290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raspberries: I stole this idea from WeddingBee like five years ago - I did a little package of fancy shower gel from Philosophy with a loofah, some hand cream, and nail polish with a card that said "I hope your next shower is as a great as mine was!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-thank-you-gift-for-hostess#post-2135276 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 13:50:42 +0000 youboots 2135276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a pepper grinder for one friend, it was still on her wedding registry. I got my other friend a hex bowl and platter. All items were from C&amp;B, they box it up for you and tape a gift receipt to the inside. <a href="http://m.crateandbarrel.com/hexa-platter/s220384" rel="nofollow">http://m.crateandbarrel.com/hexa-platter/s220384</a></p> <p>ETA I spent 30-40 each but if it we just one host I would spend up to $100. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-thank-you-gift-for-hostess#post-2135274 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 13:47:35 +0000 avivoca 2135274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought my friend a dozen cookies from a well-known bakery in my area. It was about $30 and I knew she would enjoy them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-thank-you-gift-for-hostess#post-2135273 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 13:47:18 +0000 Adira 2135273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom hosted my baby shower - I gifted her with a coffee mug, chocolates, and a gift card to Starbucks. I maybe spent $50 total. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-thank-you-gift-for-hostess#post-2135272 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 13:46:50 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 2135272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a spa gift card for one hostess and then a little gift bag of new home things (matching serving bowl for her china, tea towel, door hanger) for the other hostess who had just bought a house, plus a spa gift card. I just wrote a thank you note for the hostesses of my work shower though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-thank-you-gift-for-hostess#post-2135266 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 13:40:57 +0000 Mommy Finger 2135266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For my aunt or DH's aunt that both threw me a wedding shower, I sent them flowers afterwards. My SIL's threw me both a wedding and baby shower and I got them necklaces both times. I found a pretty one I thought they would like on etsy for the wedding shower and an initial necklace with all of their kids' initials for my baby shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-thank-you-gift-for-hostess#post-2135234 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 13:20:08 +0000 mrsjyw 2135234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've done gift cards, spa day, sorts of gifts with a heartfelt card as thank you gifts :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-thank-you-gift-for-hostess#post-2135229 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 13:17:46 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2135229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I haven't had my shower yet, but I have hosted about 5 for various friends, and have NEVER ONCE gotten a hostess gift, just a thank you card for the actual shower gift I bought. The friends who are throwing my shower are both guilty of this, so no, I am not getting them anything, just a heartfelt thank you note. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-thank-you-gift-for-hostess#post-2135213 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 13:01:02 +0000 raspberries 2135213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you give a thank-you gift to the person who hosted your shower? How much money would be appropriate to spend on it?</p> <p>My BFF is planning a shower for me in my home town (about a 10-hour drive away from where I live now) and has really gone above and beyond - I want to give her something to show how much I appreciate it, but I have no idea what to do! </p>
