Gifts for the Hostesses with the Mostesses

(Let’s Just Pretend that Mostesses is a Word, mmkay?)
Since our shower was hosted by my maid of honor, my mom (and dad) and Mr. Candy Corn’s mom, I set out to get them gifts that said “thank you for being such rockin’ chicks!”
First up was my mom, who received a set of blank note cards with pretty flower impressions and a candle that just seemed so “her.”
For my future-mother-in-law, I bought her a candle & plate set that I thought would really match the decor in their ocean-themed bathroom (sometimes bathrooms need love too!).
Last but not least, I gave the hostess with the mostess (Melanie, my maid of honor) a photo album in our wedding colors so she can keep her Kodak moments from the wedding in a safe spot. How cute is that bird card?! Oh, Target, I love you.
How did you say thank you to your wedding shower hostess?

About Me: I enjoy people watching (especially in New Jersey malls), obsessive collecting, drooling over contemporary art, browsing flea markets for vintage finds and eating an absurd amount of cheese. In my Philadelphia abode, I create mixed media artwork and one-of-a-kind home accessories in the company of my farmer-tanned fiancé, our Westiepoo (Betty White), our three rabbits (Cadbury, Willie Nelson and Applesauce) and our two frisky chinchillas (Ethel Funk and Maude).
I like the title of your post, especially since one of my favorite websites is actually hostesswiththemostess.com, so I guess at least “mostess” is a word, lol. Where did you get the first gift bag though - the kraft one with what looks like a spider mum on it? It would go perfect with my wedding style!
