Gift Card
-
If your baby shower host is difficult to buy for, a gift card to her favorite restaurant, retail store or coffee shop is always welcome. Consider a gift card to her favorite restaurant if she is a working mom who rarely has time to cook. A meal out can give her a night off. If she loves books, a gift card to a bookstore is the perfect way for her to stock her bookshelves with material she's been wanting to read. If your baby shower host loves trends, give her a gift card to her favorite store so she can purchase that new item she has her eye on. If your host has been known to hit the local coffee shop every day, a gift card can give her wallet some time off from those specialty coffee drinks. If you want, add a small gift with the card -- a bottle of wine, silk scarf, coffee mug or candle are all excellent ideas.
Home Decor
-
If your baby shower host enjoys decorating her home, give her a gift that she will always look at. A home decor gift will remind her of her contribution to your special day. A nice throw blanket and pillow, painting, kitchen gadget and coffee table book are all things she can use. A nice touch to accompany a home decor gift is to frame a baby shower invitation in a nice frame so she can always remember the special day.

Spa Day
-
For a relaxing and indulgent gift, get her a certificate to a spa for a day of pampering and rest. If your budget does not allow, a manicure and pedicure is always a nice treat. If you know the name to your baby shower host favorite hair salon, get a gift certificate so her next cut or color is on you. Throw in a conditioning treatment or head massage for an extra treat.
Gift Basket
-
A gift basket can include as much, or as little, as you prefer. Fill it with her favorite chocolate or candy, bottle of wine or liquor, movie, book, candles, stationery, pen and journal. Arrange the items in a unique basket, such as a picnic basket, vintage hat box or small travel trunk.
