Hostess gifts

My mom and four aunts are throwing me a shower this weekend, and I'm undecided what to get them for hostess gifts.  Are there any 'traditional' gifts for hostesses?  Any price range I should stick to?  I ordered them Envirosax bags (for groceries/shopping - I have some and love them), but I want to put a few things in them.  Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks!
Julia

    A nice bottle of wine perhaps? And some fancy crackers/chocolates? or some scented candles or bubble bath?

     I gave my hostess a tiffany bracelet, wine, and box of godiva chocolates (yum!)

    Love all of Bri's suggestions!  For my shower this weekend, I got a Coach bag for my FSIL and a bunch of Williams-Sonoma stuff for my FI's aunt who loves to cook- my favorite ever 25-year aged balsamic vinegar, a great California olive oil, bottle of wine, etc.  I spent a little under $100 for each. 

    My very traditional friend gave all her shower hostesses (like, 10 of them!) porcelain dining items- pitcher, serving platter, etc.

    Oh great idea on olive oil.  My hostess doesn't cook, but I'm filing that away as a good dinner party hostess gift!

    Bri has some great suggestions. I gave mine shower gel and body wash from Victoria's Secret. You could also fill it with a favorite food, and/or give flowers.

    My shower is this weekend too!  I'm giving the BM's (who are all hosting)  a set of DIY coasters that I made and a bath set (lotion, shower gel, puff).  For my mom (who is the main hostess) I got her a bag like you got your hostesses and bought her a MOB kit that is just full of anything she could need for the wedding.
