Baby Shower Hostess Gifts
Planning a baby shower requires a significant amount of time, effort and dedication from the hostess of the event. It is the hostess' duty to organize the baby shower and make sure that the expectant parents and their guests have an enjoyable time. After the baby shower is over, let your hostess know how much you appreciate her hard work by giving her a thank-you gift she will enjoy. Does this Spark an idea?

Household Gifts

Household gifts can be used by your hostess when she is entertaining her own guests in her home. Give her a variety of decorative scented soaps she can place in her bathroom for guests to use. She may also enjoy receiving an aromatherapy reed diffuser for entertaining because they freshen the air for months and resemble an elegant centerpiece.
If a practical item is more appreciated than a knick-knack, a stainless steel blender can be used often by your hostess to prepare mixed party drinks and other beverages. She may also get a lot of use out of a set of wine glasses or dishware. A fondue set is a gift she can use for large and small gatherings. She may also like a stylish apron she can wear when serving her guests.
Relaxation Gifts
-
A hostess who has been on her feet all day is likely to appreciate the gift of relaxation. Treat her to a relaxing afternoon of pampering at a day spa or beauty salon where she can receive a massage, manicure, pedicure and makeover. A less expensive idea would be to prepare her a spa gift basket filled with scented candles, shower gel, body lotion and a body sponge she can use for at-home pampering. A heated foot massager or foot spa also provides your hostess with soothing relief after a long day; pair it with a fluffy robe with matching slippers for the ultimate relaxation experience.

Food Gifts
-
Food gifts can be both practical and enjoyable to receive, especially if you know what your baby shower hostess loves to eat. Make her favorite meal and invite her over for dinner. If she has a sweet tooth, bake her favorite type of cake, cupcakes or cookies, and present the gift to her in a decorative box with a thank-you note. If you make your own preserves or homemade soups, give those as gifts. Fill a few Mason jars with differently flavored preserves and tie a bow around the jar to present it to her. Food-based gift baskets are another option to consider. Depending on her tastes, choose either a basket of fruit, coffees and teas, crackers and jelly, or cheese and meats.
Personalized Gifts
-
Personalizing your hostess' gift adds a special touch to the gift. Give her a handmade thank-you card made from card stock and decorative embellishments. Include a short note inside the card and a picture of you and her at the baby shower. Another option is to give her a scrapbook filled with your favorite photos from the baby shower. Be sure to include photos of her and her work.
Give your baby shower hostess a set of blank monogrammed invitation cards and envelopes that she can use for future events she hosts. She may also like a monogrammed tote bag in her favorite color or pattern. Personalizing one of the party favors from your baby shower for her is also an idea.
