Hostess Gift Picks from Two Ellie

I hope y'all enjoyed Emily's picks yesterday! I thought her personalized suggestions were so perfect! Today, I have Paula from Two Ellie guest blogging...and she has some great ideas too!! I hope you enjoy her picks and if you haven't been to her blog, its a must read for anyone who loves design.

For me hostess gifts is not about the money spent but the thought behind it. To really take into consideration the loves of the recipient is key. Of course there are a few showers that can be thrown by your moms friends and you may not have the slightest clue to their loves, but I have that covered too.

For the organizer at heart or for the friend that needs to be that way. I Heart Lists letterpress is a perfect gift that encompasses beauty and practicality. Adding your favorite pen or a pretty pencil would make this gift extremely affordable coming in under $10.

How about a simple petite vase filled with flowers for the hostesses you may not have a personal relationship with or those showers that have an extreme amount of hostesses. I recieved this from a friend who I hosted a baby shower for and I still love it. Again, this gift comes in under $10.

Then you have the showers thrown by your best of friends. A book that fits each friends personality would be something they can have for the long haul. For the baker, for the gardener, for the design junkie. Inscribing each book with a heart felt note would make it all the better. This gift can be as cheap or as expensive as you choose.

This gift is for those that have a bit more dough to spend... letterpress recipe cards and box would be divine. Well, this one is definitely not cheap at $46, but it would be extraordinary.
