12 Thank-You Gifts for Your Shower Hostess

By Wesley Shaw

We’re not sure which Southerner’s have a better knack for: entertaining or giving thanks to those who do. Southern ladies especially are made up of equal parts mini chicken salad sandwiches and monogrammed stationery (at least, we’re pretty sure). When we’re not throwing cousin Anna Kate a bridal shower to put the rest of the town to shame, we’re writing her a thank-you note for returning the favor for whichever of life’s events has presented the opportunity. What can we say? It’s simply the circle of Southern life. However, while a well-timed thank-you note is always appreciated (if not expected), there are certain occasions that call for a little something special to remark upon your hostess’s unwavering dedication to the cause of your Southern soirée. Whether it be a bridal shower, baby shower or anything in between (because Lord knows we can make up an excuse to throw a party), we have a few fabulous ideas for hostess gifts to properly express your thanks. While we can’t exactly knock a pretty bottle of rosé as an expression of gratitude, these thoughtful gifts are certain to leave a more lasting impression while perched in the home of your gracious hostess.
