I need ideas!
-
I got my sister a pedicure and manicure gift card.
-
I gave mine a nice set of bath & body works goodies, plus her favorite wine
-
@Smurfette: Great idea!
-
I am in the same boat, and I need something inexpensive because there are FOUR of them.
I was thinking a nice bottle of wine would work?
-
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. I wrapped the pot it came in with tissue paper and ribbon to fancy it up a bit
-
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.
For the other shower I made bird feeders. It was super easy and affordable, which was great since there were multiple hostesses.
-
I made them each little bags of cute stuff. 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!
-
My shower is tomorrow and I got my friend a GC to her fav restaurant so she and her hubby can have a date night.
-
We don't do hostess gifts. I hosted their showers and didn't get a gift either.
-
Omg. Am I suppose to gift them?!! I totally didn't know that. Just had it last weekend. I still have time hopefully. Wow, I didn't even think about it.
-
@jh524: Mine was two weeks ago and I haven't given them anything yet.
I need to get my thank you cards done, too!
-
@rahlyrah: just sent out all my cards yesterday. 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 wonder if I should have something for them the next time I see them; which may be when baby arrives.... Hmmmm... I like the idea of a cute potted plant!!
-
My best friend got a bottle of Jo Malone perfume.
The evil hags aka friends of my mother in law (evil because they called me the night before my shower to tell me that my friend who was driving three hours to be there couldn't bring her 2 year old, very well behaved daughter) got wine. -
A pottery barn throw
-
We live in NYC so I got them Tiffany mugs with NYC landmarks (aka the cheapest thing Tiffany sells!).
-
I put together some stuff from Bath and Body Works.
-
jcrew necklaces -- i was able to get ones that matched each of their styles and they were on sale!
-
MIL and a really good friend hosted. Treated MIL to a massage and got friend a set of chevron throw pillows she really wanted from Etsy.
-
Um, I gifted them their first niece and granddaughter respectively. Haha. Oops! Gifts?!?! I've never given a hostess gift before and never received for the ones I've thrown.
-
Hostess gifts aren't done around here. Never even crossed my mind!
-
We don't do hostess gifts either! I host theirs and they host mines.
-
I know I gave boxes of chocolate dipped european cookies to the hostesses for one shower but can't remember what I gave my MIL/SIL for their shower. I know it was something small and thoughtful though.
-
My mom told me absolutely not to get her anything. So she got a granddaughter
-
A new coffee maker!
-
My SIL skipped gifting me when I hosted hers and I thought that was exceptionally rude.
Planning to get her nail polish related items (since I've gotten her hooked) and my friend who is hosting some LUSH items since she's obsessed, probably a gift box of some sort from there
-
I'm gifting one of my girls a pair of Reef sandals (she's been wanting one for awhile) and a purse organizer because she could really use one. Ha!
For the other, I'm thinking about putting together a shower/bath gift set (candles, shower gels, hand soaps, etc.)
-
I did little potted plants for my bridal showers!
-
I had three, I got them each a unique piece of jewelry off Etsy that I thought they'd like.
