Host/Hostess Gifts

So it's that time in my pregnancy when baby showers are being planned and I have to start thinking about Hostess gifts for each of my showers.

I think possibly the most difficult "hostess" gift I will have to deal with is that my boyfriend's work is throwing us a shower. It mostly is coming from one woman but I'm not sure if I should just get her a gift or if I should get a group gift for those he works with.

Also, any great ideas, since I'm reading a lot of people buy expensive gift cards for theirs, would be helpful.

My town has a gourmet dressing and olive oil store and next time I need a hostess gift I intend on getting something from there. Depending on if it's just dinner or something more personal like a baby shower would affect the gift you get.
Spa baskets are nice, although sometimes played out they are usually appreciated esp. if you can throw in something you made yourself like bath salts,soap,herbal flower bath soaks, etc. Wine is always a safe bet, although maybe not so appropriate considering the occasion.
You could also consider getting something she likes just a nicer(more expensive) version so for candles try Yankee, Woodwick, Molton Brown, etc.

If I think of more I will update, congrats on the baby!
