Help - hostess gift(s) for a work shower???

I totally wasn't expecting work to throw me a shower, but I just found out today they are!  They were going to make it a complete surprise, but decided they should make sure I don't schedule any client appointments for that time, lol.  I have NO idea who is in charge (i.e., the hostess)!  I'm guessing it won't be a big thing with food and decorations, probably everyone will chip in for a gift or two.  But I honestly don't know what to expect.

Do I need to get a hostess gift?  What if there is no single hostess, do I get everyone a little something (there are 8 ladies in my office)?  Or would a nice thank you card after the fact suffice?  Help, I am clueless!

    I had a small group of ladies throw me a shower at work, and I just gave out thank you cards to everyone after the fact- if they all chip in, it's not necessary to give each on a gift I wouldn't think.....

    I would say that a Thank You card will suffice.  Maybe bring them in some cookies after the fact with a nice thank you note.
