How much to give bridal shower host gift?

Am, on June 22, 2019 at 8:39 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 4

I want to get my sisters a gift card to their favorite spa as a thank you for hosting my bridal shower. Massages at the place I am getting the gift card to are $140. Can I get a $100 gift card each as an appropriate amount to thank them for the shower OR $150 each to cover the full spa treatment cost? Thanks!!

    Oh man I would do $150 but I don't know how on a budget you are because that's also quite hefty. But $150 makes sense

    Try looking at Groupon! I found a $38 massage for FH for Christmas, and it was originally $97

    That’s a very generous gift!
    I personally would give the whole value of the massage if I was giving it as a gift— I don’t like the idea of giving someone something that they have to pay for/they can ONLY use if they spend some personal money.
    Though I suppose it’s different if they do actually go there frequently on their own. This is a gift that someone like me would *only* use if I got the full value— I wouldn’t generally pay for a massage but I’d be open to trying a free one if it were gifted !
    I do think a $150 hostess gift is extremely generous so there’s a flip side, as even 100$ to me is more than enough to spend on the gift. So I don’t think you have to spend $150 on each....But a gift that is only a partial gift gives me pause no matter the value. So I guess the most important factors are: if they’d go and pay their own way without the gift— thats important! Also if there is *any* service at the spa that is within the budget? If those things are true, in *that* case, I’d think it could be okay.

    I would cover the cost of the full treatment. I think it's kind of odd to give them a very nice gift like that, but then they have no choice but to shell out $50 in order to use the gift? IDK, if the cost is an issue I second Groupon, or just finding a slightly cheaper massage place!

    Great gift idea btw!
