hostess gifts?

My shower is pretty top secret. I don't know what time or where just that its planned for the 25th. I don't even know if I know who all is involved in the planning to buy everyone a small hostess gift. I KNOW my MOH and cousin, M are working on things. M had asked me was anyone planning a shower because she wanted to help and so I gave her my MOH's number to get in touch and see what she needs. Do I just need to ask one of them or both is anyone else helping? Also if you were a hostess what kind of gift would you want? I can't afford anything big.

Re: hostess gifts?

  • I would ask them if anyone else is helping host the shower. I just had mine and there were 6 hosts! Yikes! So I got them all a few soaps & bath bubbles with a thank you card.

  • I would ask your MOH who is hosting. It wouldn't be giving away any details for your bridal shower, so I think it would be fine. If she won't budge I would think of who is likely to host the shower, then get them each something small, like a box of chocolates or a nice plant.

  • I think it would be okay to ask.  I got one of my hostesses a birdfeeder for their cottage, because I know they've been meaning to get one all summer but haven't gotten around to it. The other was my sister who is a huge sewer so I got her a cutting/measuring board.

    For my FI's mom whos hosting the other shower I have purchased a large coffee mug and some nice coffee since she's a huge coffee drinker. I also noticed all of her birdfeeders were empty last time we were there so I'll probably get her a big bag of birdseed too.

  • I think it's fine to ask. But you can always do hostess gifts after the fact (so long as it's within a few days I think) with a nice TY note.

  • I'm not doing a hostess gift.  I've never seen one done with any of my friends or family nor have I received one.  Mine is being hosted by my mom and BMs and I am spending a lot on the BP gifts.  I will send a thank you note obviously.

    If it was someone outside the BP hosting I would do a gift. Prob something like a yankee candle or wine, depending on who it was.
