Hostess gifts?

aimee58 · August 2012

So I know I'm a slacker but tomorrow is my first bridal shower! FI's aunts are hosting it; there are 4 of them. Any hostess gift ideas to share? I'm drawing a blank.

I have gifts for my bridesmaids, my 2 Aunts and my Mom. For my bridesmaids I bought them each a brooch that they can wear on their dress, for my Aunts I bought them each a silver pearl bracelet, for my Mom I bought her a necklace with black and white swarovski crystals on it.

Some other ideas I considered- gourmet chocolate, wine, candles, wine glasses, picture frames, gift card for dinner somewhere, gift card to a spa.

Yay! Have fun at your shower. Mine is tomorrow too! (And sorry but I don't have any ideas. I never heard of giving the hostess' gifts until TK.)

Me either...but I feel like I just never noticed that they were done.

I got them all Starbucks cards and made little cards that said "THANKS A LATTE". They all seem to like them, but I wish I'd done more. :-/

You know I have been wondering about this too...now that I think of it..I'm not sure that giving gifts to the hostess/s is common practice here..I don't think I've ever seen it done. I hosted a baby shower and didn't receive a gift this year. Usually showers I've been to you play games and the guests win gifts. Like I have a shower coming up next month that is planned by fi's Church. There could be anywhere from 5 to 15 people working on that. Most of them I probably don't even know.

oooo....I've been inspired!! I think I'm going to do a coffee mug with good coffee in each or a starbucks card! Thanks lehc!!

I didn't get them gifts. I just wrote them very nice thank you cards, and thanked them individually the day of the shower.

It doesn't seem to be common here, either. However, I really like the 'thanks a latte' idea, and may use that! I wasn't expecting any showers, but friends of FI have said they would like to do something (they like me! lol) and a friend of mine texted this morning and said she would like to at least host a sprinkle. I really only have family to invite, and will definately want to thank her!

FI's aunt is hosting my shower, which is also tomorrow. She is a Starbucks fiend, so naturally I'm getting her a starbucks giftcard. I think I will steal the Thanks a latte line. Its cute!

I'm going to get everyone a bottle of wine. I ordered these fun bottle carriers from Etsy but the seller has yet to get me a date for arrival. Shower is tomorrow so it looks like I'll just be getting gift bags for them instead. So annoying.

I don't think its common here either but it's a nice gesture so I have been giving them. There's a local shop that sells muffin mixes in little fabric bags that look like the fruit. Like banana nut mix is in a bag that looks like a banana, etc.

I got them hostess gifts. My bridal shower ins't till Sept but its not at someone house they rented a place. So I thought I would get them something little. I ordered off of Etsy.com Bridal bags nice for putting things for the wedding. All with their monogram first initial.
