I thought flowers and wine but she'll be leaving a week later for Mexico. Do you think a week would be long enough to enjoy the flowers or should I get her something else?

Gift cards are always nice if you can't think of anything else.

The flowers would be nice. Its the gesture that counts. If you are still worried get her the wine and maybe some fancy chocolates.

If she's going to Mexico, get her a little wicker/rattan bag and put some sunblock, a beach towel, and a beauty magazine in it, or something else you think would be of use to her on her trip. I hostessed 2 baby showers and never received a gift from the recipient, so I think anything thoughtful is a great gesture!

Gifts for the home, like a vase, wine glasses, etc are usually a safe bet.

Wine and music/book/perfume, depending on what she's into. A nice picture frame or candle is sweet.

A great gift would be something all girls like, candles. She can use them when she returns home. Or you can get her something to take with her to Mexico. Make a basket full of lotions, body wash, luffas, etc. like a homeade spa kit. Or you can purchase a collection of fragrances and lotions from Bath and Body Works or Victoria's Secret. VS usually has a 6 for $35 sale. Who does not like that? http://www.victoriassecret.com If you wanted to you could call the hotel she is staying at in Mexico and have flowers and wine delivered to her room upon arrival with a note from you. She will be more than suprised. But check the prices because this could be expensive.

A framed picture of the baby, when it's born, would be nice. You could include some flowers as well.
