Easy and Affordable Hostess Gift Ideas – That Also Make Perfect Baby Shower Prizes
I don’t know if you’ve seen these Bubba coffee mugs or not – but they are amazing! And they make a wonderful gift!
This short and cute mug holds 10 oz of any hot or cold beverage and keeps it hot or cold – this is my biggest problem in the morning. I make a nice hot cup of coffee, get busy and forget about it, go to drink it after an hour and it’s cold. (I found this one at Walmart, but you can probably find it on Amazon, too.)
Add some k-cups (I used hot chocolate ones), wrap with cello and tie with a bow – and there you have a simple but awesome gift or prize!
People always need dish towels – and they have some really cute and stylish towels out there now – I always get mine at TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Home Goods, Target or Walmart.
To the dish towel you can add things like: a candle or some scented melting wax, a spoon, hand soap, colorful cleaning gloves, etc.
Bundle some colorful body scrubs and a fizzy bath bomb and you have an easy and affordable hostess gift idea! This is great if you need to buy for a few hostesses/helpers, or buy to give away as prizes. I got them at Walmart, but again, Home Goods, TJ Maxx, etc., are always great places to find bath supplies.
Some body wash and some bath puffs make for a great thank you gift or baby shower prize idea! Simple and something everyone will love!
