Shower host gifts?

[Deleted]

I hosted one with friends last weekend and she got us all a coffee cup from anthropologie. I love it.

I got mine a small box of good chocolates and a bottle of wine each. Wine is good.

Baby shower is coming up in a couple of weeks, and I need to get something for the hosts. I don't even remember what I did last time because it was seven years ago.  I think I did bottles of wine.  Give me suggestions.

Bottle of wine
Specialty chocolates
Nice candle
Picture frame
Something unique to your locale
McDonalds gift cards

ETA - dammit puddleofgrace, you beat me.

I gave gift cards to BB&B for one shower. That seemed to go over well.

I did cute little potted house plants.

Ooh, I kind of like this idea.  I love the mugs at anthropologie.

Thank you guys for all the suggestions!  Maybe I'll do cups with chocolates in them.

We were all very happy with them. They are so fun and I love drinking my coffee out of it

Have fun at your shower!

You are getting a baby shower for your second kid? :::clutches pearls:::


JOKING. Wine is always an awesome gift, maybe with some chocolates?

I love looking at my mug from anthropologie, but I hardly ever use it because it's difficult to hold w/ the handle and sucks with hot liquids (which is what I mostly drink at home). But it's very pretty!

FTR - this is the one I'm talking about.

Bottle of wine sounds splendid to me.

My sister and my bff hosted mine and I got them wristlets from Coach. I think they were about $60, but since I only had to buy 2 of them it wasn't a big deal.

I love the mug filled with chocolate idea!

Body an bath stuff, things I know she specifically loved and a bangle from BR.
I would have added in an anthro mug had I thought of it. I love that idea!

Oh, as a gift, I'd love wine. I have enough crap. Bring on the wine!
