Shower Thank you gift

My mom keeps insisting i have to get the women that throw my shower a thank you gift. I intended to send them all cards for throwing me a gorgeous day- but I didn't intend on getting them gifts.My mom said I have to do this, because when she threw my cousins shower my cousin had custom made earrings made for my aunts.

Well, I have 10 people throwing my shower!! THat's a lot more than 3 people like my cousin.

Any ideas for a cute $10-$15 gift for each lady?
I'd like to do something standard for all of them
They are my bms and aunts

Re: Shower Thank you gift

  • on ebay, I got 7 totebags with the girls' first initial in white and their names in their favorite colors.  I only have 6 girls, so I got the 7th for myself.  I use it for everything.  it's great quality, has a side pocket AND all 7 cost a total of $48 (shipping included). 
  • if it's not in your budget, why not bake them something nice as a little thank you to go with the card?

    otherwise, manicures?

  • I was going to get the people throwing mine each a small plant and write a nice thank-you card, although I like the making-jewelry idea since it's already something I do.
  • For my first shower (thrown by FMIL and FSILs) I got them a card and a gift certificate to Olive Garden (they love it)!

    Not sure what I'm going to do for next shower (thrown by MOH/Sister and Aunt/Fairy Godmother - my Godmother passed away years ago, and my Aunt stepped in and we refer to her as my Fairy Godmother).  I've been looking for sister things for my sister, and probably get my Aunt a giftcard :)

    I am in a little different situation because I don't have quite so many people throwing my showers.

    My two friends are throwing one in St. Louis, which is where we live, and for one I'm getting her a cool book on entertaining from BHLDN and the other I haven't decided yet.

    For my sister (MOH) and BM who are throwing the shower in Columbus, OH, which is where I grew up, I am getting each a cute necklace that I found at Nordstrom. One is a charm necklace with a message about friendship and the other is a necklace in the shape of Ohio, which I thought my sister would like because she lives in Germany and it will be a nice reminder of home :)

  • This inspired me to get on the gifts.  I just ordered bath gift sets from Philosophy.  They were $36 each, which is higher than you wanted to spend.  What if you get them each a cute body wash in any price range you feel comfortable and maybe a pouf or something shower related and say, thank you for my shower here's something for yours.  I googled it and that's a cute idea that came up.  Play with the wording because I know it sounds weird.  Good luck!
