Baby shower hostess gift

My aunt (aunt A) is throwing me a baby shower and my sister, SIL, cousin and other aunt (aunt B) are helping organize it. 

Aunt A is using her home, providing the food/beverage, and invitations.  For the bridal shower she threw me I gave her a spa GC, so I want to get her something different this time. Ideas? 

I'm not sure what my sister, SIL, cousin or aunt B will be doing, but I would still like to get them a gift for helping out. I found these on Etsy, and thought I could do the bag with some little things to fill them like some nice OPI nail polish.  Thoughts?  Ideas? Too much? Too little?

Re: Baby shower hostess gift

  • I think the bags and OPI nail polishes are perfect and really cute for summer.

    Could you do the same type of thing for your aunt, but add some extras to the bag (since she's hosting)? Or is that not her style? If not, what type of things does she like?

    She would use the bag for sure.  I could do a few more nail polishes and some nice MAC eyeshadows too.  I think she would like that.

  • I think the bags are cute.  I like the idea.  I was contemplating doing something similar for mine - which included OPI nail polish.  When I posted on here about doing that, a bunch of people dissed on the idea of nail polish as a present, saying it was too personal, so I'm curious what kind of response you'll get.  I ended up going with some really nice floral arrangements for my hosts.

    Yes, I agree with this.

     

    For my 1st shower, I just got my cousin a really nice GC to Target.  She loves Target and it kinda was an inside joke with us.  For shower #2, it was hosted by all my Aunts (5 of them), so I got them each a really nice box of handmade chocolates.  I know all but one of them appreciated the gift.   But my thought was I can't please all the people all the time.  And I have I no idea what I am going to get my SIL and MIL of this last shower on Sunday.

    Yes- I think that would definitely work!
