I've got just over a month before my baby showers and am starting to think about gifts. One shower is being hosted by my MIL and SIL, and I'm not sure what to get them. Maybe put together gift baskets for each of them?
The second shower is hosted by my church. I'm assuming a nice card to each of the ladies who do the planning would be okay, but I'm not sure. At least 3-4 are the primary planners.
Thoughts? What should I do?

for my bridal shower, my mom, aunt and grandmother co-hosted. my grandmother didn't really, but said she did, so I got her a small gift anyway haha.
I got my aunt a small basket (from michaels? savers?) and put some origins fancy bath stuff in it. ginger scrub, etc. I put some nice hair stuff in a basket for my mom (stuff she won't buy herself - moroccan oil, etc). I spent ~$30 on each of them and it looked cute!

I'm going to keep my eye on this... was just thinking about this today, too. In the past, I have sent flowers to people who have hosted showers/parties for me but I will need something different for my shower.

I gave my one friend who organized a small shower for me and a friend a $25 gf to Starbucks since I know she loves it.
I plan on sending flowers to DH's who planned my shower yesterday.
My two SIL, BF and Mom are throwing me one this Sunday. I got necklaces from etsy for my SIL that have charms with the initial's of their kids names. I got a Bears hat for my BF and I'm not yet sure what to get my mom. She loves gardening so something to do with that.

My roommate from college and my sister hosted my shower. I gave my roommate a gift card to a local spa, a candle, and some hand lotion meant for gardeners since she likes to garden and spend time outside in her yard. For my sister, I gave her some goodies from Lush, including a couple face masks. I think I spent about $50 on each of them? Normally I wouldn't spend that much but my shower ended up being very large so I knew they both put a lot of time and resources into it.
