  I did not purchase gifts for anyone. My mom, grandma,and aunt threw the shower...
  
  they would have murdered me if I spent my money on them (since we are paying for our own wedding)

  I bought my mom and I a day at the spa. She planned the majority of it. I wanted to get her something nice and I knew she wouldn't go by herself so I went with her. She loved it.

  Thanks girls. In my case, my mom and best friend are planning the shower together and my best friend will be doing most of the work, although another bridesmaid has offered to help. Should I get this other bridesmaid something as well, although she will probably put in 20% of the effort in planning?

  It's really a tough call.  I ran into a similar situation with FI's family shower, where his two sisters did all the planning but I knew his mom was helping out with the cost.  Just so that no one's feelings were hurt, I got the two sisters a nicer bath set at Bath and Body Works, and I got his mom a plant.  Just something small to say thanks, but not as big as the other hostess gifts.
