Any good suggestions?

My baby shower is the last weekend in March, and I need to figure out what I am giving the hostesses.  I have a few ideas in mind (that I cannot share here as they occasionally read) but would love to know what you think constitutes a good hostess gift for someone who is throwing our puddin the most awesome party! 

All three of the hostesses were bridesmaids in the wedding- for that gift I gave them Herve Chapelier totes, pearl earrings, and monogrammed stationary. 

Please, please share your thoughts, ideas, or things you have previously done/received that have gone over well.  Thanks so much!!

  1. How sweet! Those are all great ideas for bridesmaid gifts. Not sure what your budget is, but how about this monogrammed pendant from Tiffany's? Or I like the little bow pendant too. Can't go wrong with a little blue box! Looking forward to others' suggestions too :)

  3. I definitely agree something monogrammed. Guess it all comes down to budget, how much are you looking to spend? How about a monogrammed frame? Monogrammed jewelry case? Accessories from Lilly Pulitzer? So many choices to choose from....good luck!

  4. What if you got them an orchid or other house plant along with a monogrammed table tray?

  6. A basket that might include items that she likes food wise or else some things that are for the purpose of pampering.

  7. have you seen wine coolers... not the trashy drink, but sort of a coozy you'd put around a bottle if on a boat or outside or something, get one of those monogrammed and a nice bottle of bubbles.

  11. You already have such great ideas, I don't think I can add anything, other than to chime in on the monogram idea. There are some beautiful monogrammed lucite trays, as well as fun vases. And I'm still partial to a personalized Tiffany Heart keychain.

    Good luck deciding, I know you will select something special!
