Question Hostess Gifts: Baby Shower

Hey GCers, I need a little help coming up with gifts for the hostesses of my baby shower. It's in two weeks and I don't really have any great ideas.

Mainly, I need gifts ideas for my mom and my sister, but I also need to get gifts for my step-mother in-law and the lady at whose club house we are having the shower.

Some additional information:
My mom works for a department store, so no perfumes, soaps, body lotions, candles, wine, etc for her or for my sister. My sister just had a baby four months ago, so she's already given my mother a lot of baby picture frames, "grandma" plaques/momentos, and an engraved necklace and bracelet. My sister got a couple of spa treatment from her husband for Christmas, so that is out, too. For my bridal shower, I gave my mom and sister edible fruit "flower" arrangements and gift cards to their favorite stores, so I'd like to avoid those things if possible.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

For the woman who is providing the clubhouse - how about a Lush gift? They come beautifully wrapped and are sooooo wonderful - www.lush.com
For your family - how about a gift certificate for a picture book? You know, the ones where you put them together on-line with your pictures and then are mailed a hardcover book. Your mother and stepmil can wait for your baby's arrival and make a wonderful brag book, and your sister could make one of her baby now. www.picaboo.com is one place - I think shutterfly and kodak do them, too.

Bump because I need some similar ideas for hostess gifts (three friends and a cousin). I was thinking about flower baskets for them to plant or hang at their homes. Any other ideas about hostess gifts for May baby showers would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe a gift certificate for family photos after the baby gets here?

Grandmas NEVER have enough frames for grandkids!!
