Hostess gifts

Show your baby shower host how much you care by giving her a well-thought-out gift. Here's a list of unique ideas for you to consider.

Maid Service - The gift of a clean house is the greatest gift of all. We suggest clearing this with the hostess before you schedule an appointment.

Flowers or Potted Plants - Gift your hostess with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. If the hostess has a green thumb, consider giving her a pretty potted plant.

Chocolates - Hands-down, no questions asked, you can't go wrong with chocolates! Give your hostess a unique artisan chocolate (we love B.T. McElrath found online) and she'll know that you appreciated the baby shower!

Wine and Cheese - Looking for a tried-and-true hostess gift idea? Present her with a duo of wine and cheese. Package in a pretty basket for extra points.

Gift Certificate to a Spa - Throwing a baby shower is hard work. Release the tensions of your hostess with a gift certificate to the spa.

Gifts that Relax - You may want to give 'relaxing' gifts such as candles, bath salts, incense, or aromatherapy.

Gift Certificate to a Restaurant - Do you know a great restaurant that is off-the-beaten-path? Introduce your hostess to it, or stick with an old favorite.

Cater to a Specific Passion - Does your host have a specific passion which defines her as a person? A coffee connoisseur would likely appreciate a fine coffee such as Jamaican Blue Mountain or Hawaiian Kona.

Trust your instincts on what baby shower gift to get your hostess. What matters most in the end is not how much you spend on the gift, but the amount of thought put into your ideas.
