| My friend and her mother are hosting a baby shower for me. She's a childhood friend so her mother is like family to me. They have been so incredible and have been taking care of everything for the shower. I haven't had to do a thing, despite my frequent offers. I know they have been in contact with my mom and MIL and have been planning all sorts of things for the shower. I'm so touched and greatful that they are doing this for me. I'm thankful that they are taking care of things financially for the party, but more importantly, they are putting all the effort in and doing all of the planning. I know they really wanted to do this for me and they are having so much fun with it, but I really want to show them my graditude. How can I thank them?? I'm looking for ideas that show thoughtfulness, as opposed to just buying a fancy gift to say thanks. Any advice? |

| It might be nice to give them a gift of something they could do together--like a restaurant gift certificate where they could have a mother/daughter lunch or something like that? That idea could also translate to mom/daughter massages at a spa as well. I don't know if they both live in the area though. I just think that's always nicer than giving "stuff". |

I like that idea! I like to send people flowers too. Maybe a few days after the fact. I'm sure it would suprise them and be much appreciated. OP, you are so thoughtful to tihnk of this! |

| What about a gift certificate for a manicure at the Red Door Salon? |

| I did spa gift certificates for mine - enough that they could get a nice massage if they wanted, but it allowed them to choose the service or services. One of my hosts was my sister, who had just had her own baby and was hosting long distance, so I couldn't do something where we could all get together |

One of my best friends gave us each a tube of hand cream and a pair of monogrammed cashmere gloves. What an awesome gift!
