Shower/Bachelorette Hostess gifts

So my shower is this Saturaday and my bachelorette is the weekend after. I've put together hostess gifts for the shower. Do I need to do something else for the bachelorette or is one gift ok?

As an FYI, the hostess gifts are very shower-oriented. I stole another knotties idea and went to B&BW and made up gift bags with a tag that says "I hope you have as much fun in your shower as I did at mine!"

This must be a cultural/regional thing. I've never heard of shower/bachelorette hostess gifts before TK.

I really don't get the concept of giving a gift to someone who is gifting you a shower/party. It's kind of like writing a thank you note to someone who wrote you a thank you note.

Truly, a beautiful thank you note should be more than sufficient.

I didn't do gifts for the bach party; I wrote each of my BMs a nice thank you note. For my shower, I gave each hostess a gift that was about five to ten dollars; a candle, cute coffee mug, nice hand soap. I think you're fine with whatever you can afford and feel is appropriate, just be sure to write a thank you note for each.

I don't know that I'd offer a physical hostess gift for a shower or bachelorette party (especially since it probably wouldn't be opened at the party), but certainly I'd write them a note of thanks, and I might offer to take them out for a special meal or give them perhaps a gift card at a place that would be special to them.
