Baby Shower Hostess Gifts

Baby Shower Hostess Gifts

The hostess or hostesses of your baby shower spent a lot of time planning everything. In fact, they probably devoted several weeks and quite a bit of money preparing for your shower. They picked the theme, chose the menu, sent the invitations, ordered the cake, and gathered all of the other supplies to give you the perfect baby shower celebration. Now it's your turn to give them something to show your appreciation for all of their hard work! Check out the following ideas. Remember, you don't have to spend a fortune to show how much you appreciate the baby shower. Your gift can be thoughtful and inexpensive!

Gift Certificates

One of the best gifts you can give is a gift certificate. Gift certificates allow others to do things for themselves that they might normally do. In other words, it gives someone an excuse to splurge without actually spending anything! You can buy gift certificates for almost anything, such as the following:

• Day Spas-How many of us would love to get a thirty or forty-five minute massage, but we'd never pay for it ourselves? This is why a day spa gift certificate makes the perfect baby shower hostess gift!
• Beauty Salon-Do you know a great beauty salon? If so, why not share your find with your hostess? She'll love it! You can give her a gift certificate for a manicure, pedicure, waxing, or anything else she'd like to have done.
• Book Store-One of the best and most versatile gift certificates is a book store certificate. If you don't have a favorite book store nearby, you can always give an online certificate to places like Borders or Barnes and Noble.
• Coffee Shops-Coffee shop gift certificates are also excellent baby shower hostess gift choices.
• Restaurants-Do you have a favorite restaurant that you'd love for someone to try? You really can't go wrong if you give a restaurant gift certificate.
• Movie Tickets-Be sure you purchase two tickets so the hostess can take a guest. Maybe she'll decide to take you!

• Candles
• Scented soaps
