1. Cook Book or Coffee Table Books
I wanted to do the Reese Witherspoon book for my baby shower hostess gifts, but knew a couple people already had it. SO I went with the newest Half Baked Harvest book (link below). Everyone was pretty excited about it so I think it will be useful!
Any of these would be great options. I loved the idea of the Little Citrus Cookbook – it’s super unique and would be SO adorable with a note that said “thanks for showering our little cutie”. Note, it is pretty small in size and for the same cost, I thought the HBH felt like a nicer gift. But you could always pair the book with a citrus olive oil or something too!
