  I don't think you need to get your FMIL a gift. It's a hostess gift. She's not a hostess.

  
  

  I wrote my hostess a heartfelt note. I also gave her a bottle of wine and a bunch of her favorite bath products.

  I'm such a heifer. I never even thought about hostess gifts. I just wrote them a TY note.

  I had two showers.  The one my mom's friend hosted, I got her a beautiful flower arrangement.  The one my MIL hosted I got her an edible arrangement.

  You do not need to get your FMIL a gift if she is not hosting.
  
  I think it's really sweet that you want to give your hostesses gifts.  I like the idea of writing them each a heartfelt note and getting them wine or a gift card that you know they will enjoy.

  Thank you so much ladies. I think I'll probably do the heartfelt note and a bottle of wine!

  Flowers or a nice flowering plant is usually my go to for that sort of thing...with a nice thank you note, of course!

  If she's not a hostess, then no, you don't need to get her a gift that's meant for the hostesses.

  For my sister-in-law's shower, which was hosted by a family friend, my mother and I bought the hostess gifts.  However, my SIL did send thank you notes.
