I would give the hostesses a small gift each.

  I would definitely do a small gift. I’m still trying to figure out what to get mine, so if anybody has any great ideas, I’m all ears!

Here is another question regarding shower gift.  When do you present the gift to the hostess?  Do you do it in private?  Or right before you open your own gifts?

  I feel like many people do it at the end of the shower, somewhat in private. I attended a shower for my future cousin in February and she gave the gift when most people had left. She included a thank you card to each hostess and some items from Bath and Body Works.

How does that work if your shower is a surprise and you don’t know who is going to help throw it?  I have 7 bridesmaids, and I know my Maid/Matron of Honor is in charge, but don’t know for sure if anyone else is helping or even when it is…

I think that is a nice idea. Something else you can do is write them a hand written note thanking them for all they have done.

Yes, definitely get a gift for whoever hosts your shower, along with a nice card thanking them for their effort!
