Shower Gifts

I know that this is really far in advanced but I have just been told by my maid of honor that her and the rest of the girls are going to be throwing a surprise shower. I want to get that gifts for going beyond and doing this for me because I really appreciate it! They are some of the best bridesmaids ever! I am at lost of what to get them. I want it to be something that they will use. I am doing something individually for their wedding gifts but I want it to be something separate. I was thinking if I could think of what to get them now I might be able to find things on sale or what not. I just want to have the gifts on hand because like I said, it will be a surprise so I want to be prepared and not rushing around to find things at the last minute. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!!

My friends gave me gift cards to my favorite food and hobby places along with a heartfelt note that just reassured me why I love them (each one I get brings tears to my eye). So really that's what I usually get as a gift and I love it.

I'm confused though, if it's a surprise shower, wouldn't it seem weird that you had thank you gifts ready and waiting?  If it really is meant for a complete surprise, as in they tell you to show up at someone's house and they are there for your shower, I think it would be odd.  And if that's the case I would just give them something extra in their BM gift and include in the TY card how much you appreciated everything they did, especially the shower.

I totally agree with this. Play it low, and after the shower call and thank them, maybe offer lunch or cocktails. Or just add to the gift you give them as a BM gift. 

For some reason a massage sounds like an awesome gift right now.
