And actually my shower was two weeks ago too... Duh. Well, I don't live near where I had my shower and I prob wont go back for awhile.

I like the idea of a cute potted plant!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-gift-your-baby-shower-hostesses#post-822882 Fri, 31 May 2013 18:51:13 +0000 Ra 822882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jh524: Mine was two weeks ago and I haven't given them anything yet. :)</p> <p>I need to get my thank you cards done, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-gift-your-baby-shower-hostesses#post-822879 Fri, 31 May 2013 18:49:01 +0000 jh524 822879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg.

I got gift bags, mini candles and hand sanitizers from Bath and Body Works, truffles from Godiva, and little nail files, a compact hairbrush, nail polish, and a mirror from Ulta. Each bag ended up costing me about $13 each, which was great, since I had 4 hostesses to buy for! They loved the bags, and they were surprised to even get a gift! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-gift-your-baby-shower-hostesses#post-822676 Fri, 31 May 2013 16:17:57 +0000 rattles 822676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sisters hosted me one in Texas where we grew up but none of us currently live. We love this pecan coffee we get there, so I got them each a pound of that. The shower had an owl/bookworm theme, so I put the coffee in a Tervis tumbler with owls on it and put a pretty book with each.</p> <p>For the other shower I made bird feeders. It was super easy and affordable, which was great since there were multiple hostesses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-gift-your-baby-shower-hostesses#post-822644 Fri, 31 May 2013 16:09:42 +0000 swurlygurl 822644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For one shower I got them a bottle of wine. For the other shower I got them a nice flowering plant to plant in their yard.
