    I'm starting to get excited about my baby shower this Saturday (even though I'm not a shower girl!).  I'm feeling like it's more focused on the 'baby' than me.  Or maybe I'm just foolin myself like that :)

    BUT.... I haven't even thought of hostess presents.... and need to get on that.  Any suggestions?  It's getting too late to be too crafy and DIY but maybe some sort of 'themed' gift I can pull together??

    Thanks!

    I took my 5 (!) hostesses out for pedicures and S&TC 2 :)

    Who is your hostess? If it is a mother or mother-in-law maybe a grandma themed gift with different things to do with the baby as a grandma? Maybe something for their home for when the baby visits?

    If not, I love the pedicure idea or a spa gift certificate. Or a gift with all relaxing, spa treatments? There is also the idea of sending a thank you note and flowers post-shower if you are really running low on ideas and time.

    A thoughtful note and flowers are always nice.

    It's for two of my friends.  I'd love to 'take them to the spa' but one is ALWAYS traveling for work.  I think a 'spa' themed gift basket with a gift certificate would be fun.  Or I might give them 'cash' (in the basket) with a made up gift card insisting they use it for spa spoiling.  One girl goes to a special 'rolfer' and the other can go somewhere when she's in Texas for work.

    Too bad I didn't think of this and go to ULTA last weekend when I was in a real city.  All we have is B&BW.  But I guess it will have to do!

    Thanks!

    I like the idea of a spa basket.

    What about a girls day out - mani, pedis and lunch, your treat? This way they get spoiled AND you all get to spend time together.

    I always love fresh flowers or a flowering plant as a small gift!
