Bridal Shower Gift Ideas
by: Melanie Doetsch
You’ve been invited to the bridal shower –what
fun! You already have a wonderful wedding gift, but you aren’t
sure about bridal shower gift ideas. The first rule of thumb
is that a bridal shower gift is generally a bit more personal;
that is, it focuses on the bride rather than the couple. So
think in terms of her likes and dislikes as well as the theme
of the party.
Many times you can get your best
bridal
shower gift ideas simply by reading the invitation closely.
Will they be “showering”her with gifts for her
honeymoon trip? Then think about where she’s going and
what she’s like. If they’re skiing in Colorado,
you have a head start. Think about a luxurious cashmere scarf,
snuggly slippers, or perhaps a wonderful bottle of schnapps
and two crystal glasses for in front of the lodge’s fire
in the evenings!
Is it a kitchen shower? Think about her favorite types of food
and go from there. If she likes baking, a basket of the little
necessities is nice –extracts and flavored oils, measuring
spoons, muffin tins, and a pastry brush for instance.
Anything personal is always nice, since in the coming weeks
the bride will be rushing about like mad. Giving a gift of
relaxation is a sure-fire hit. A pedicure and manicure gift
certificate, a massage or day at the spa are all wonderful
gestures.
Is the bride practical? Put together a great little “everything
basket”to keep by her phone or on her desk that has all
those things you can never find when you need them: A few nice
pens, clear nail polish, postage stamps, a small bottle of
her favorite perfume, a nail file, a change purse with a few
bills and some change, a notepad, a small screwdriver, tape,
and anything else you usually need at a moment’s notice
and can’t find! Tuck in some decadent chocolates for
emergency fuel and you’re set!
