| My stepmom and her mom are the ones throwing me my shower this weekend. Am I supposed to buy them a gift? Any ideas? |

| I threw my friends baby showers. One of them brought me a gift card and the other one just gave me a thank you card. Its the thought that counts. When my friends gave me a bridal shower, I did give them a gift (purse). I just thought it was the right thing to do. Gift cards always work out best. Have fun at the shower. |

| A small little something would be nice to show your appreciation but I've found that a hand written thank you is sometimes better. Make is meaningful and genuinely voice what you feel. |

| Yes, you should get them something as a thank you. I got my friends a pedicure gift certificate and a card. |

| I had a suprise baby shower (that my husband had for me, yes I have the best husband!!!) so I didn't get him a gift. I don't think its neccessary. Just send a very nice thank you card! |

| Yes, I got gifts for the women who threw my baby shower. It's not obligatory, but I took some time and got what I think are meaningful gifts (engraved picture frames and grandparents'/family history scrapbooks) tailored for each woman. They all spent a lot of time and money on my shower, and they did a great job, so I felt they deserved it. |

| My two aunts planned my first one. I made them each a little giftbasket with stuff I picked up from walmart...lotion, bubble bath, candles. Didn't cost me more than $25, and they really appreciated it. I also got my mother, and (ex) MIL a grandmother's gift (Stupid lil magnetic picture frames) they weren't expensive, but very appreciated too. I'm remarried now, so I'm thinking of just getting my new MIL a gift for this baby (it's her first grandchild) and will still get my aunts who are planning this one (next weekend) a little something..maybe a Yankee Candle or whatever |

| I have suited the 'thank you' gift to the person. It's not about the amount you spend - but just the thought to say thanks.I got my aunt a flower arrangement of pink tulips (she loves tulips and the colour pink), and my sister-in-law hates any flowers or knickknacks so I got her some funky little pants for her baby-on-the-way (her second) and a DVD that I know she likes. She liked both those things and my aunt loved her flowers.I've heard of others giving flowers, cookies/chocolates, a little knickknack/candle, plants for inside/outside, and home-baked foods (or bakery goods).I don't think you're SUPPOSED to buy them anything - it's not some major faux pas if you don't (as far as I know!) - it's just something nice that you can do to give them that extra thank you for doing that for you. I find that most of these thank you gifts are anywhere between $20 to $40. |

| My mom and my sister give my baby showers, and I have always taken them to lunch as a thank you. Perhaps it is different when it is not a family member giving you the shower, but I believe it is generally you showing your gratitude in some way that counts; I am not sure it has to be in the form of a gift. |
