10 Bridal Shower Gifts Everyone Will Love
Best Bridal Shower Gifts for Any Couple
These unique, special and thoughtful bridal shower gifts are sure to be appreciated by any couple, even if they are not on their registry.
1. Basket With Kitchen and Home Items
This is a great gift idea that any newlywed couple will get a lot of use out of. The basket can be used for storage while the items you put inside can be used for cooking. Some items that are especially perfect for putting in the basket include: whisk, spatula, cookie sheet, cooking wine, towels, oven mitt, tongs and a ladle. There are tons of possibilities, so have fun with what you put inside to accommodate their specific needs.
Tip: If the couple already lives together then they probably have a lot of these things throughout their home. To find out what they need, take a few minutes to look at their registry. If all else fails, then look at their cooking area the next time you visit.
2. Personalized Wine Bottle
The bride and groom can drink this bottle on their anniversary or just during a special date night. A personalized wine label will make it even more unique, especially when it has their names and wedding date printed right one it. You can make these labels yourself or buy one online, so it is up to you how it is made.
3. Spa Gift Certificates
Weddings are stressful, which is why this gift is such a thoughtful idea. The best part is you can choose how much the certificate is for so you can fit it within your budget specifically. You could even go in with a few other people to give the couple a luxury spa experience they will not forget (and definitely need).
4. Kitchen Appliance
If the bride and groom are going to buy a home or are going to move in together, then they will likely need home items. Kitchen appliances in particular are always appreciated, especially if the couple does not already own many of them. Some ideas for those who have a large budget include: oven, fridge, microwave or espresso maker. Ideas for those looking to spend less include: toaster oven, blender, waffle maker, food processor or coffee maker.
5. Money
Weddings can become expensive, especially when those little expenses start to add up. If you are not sure what to give, you cannot go wrong with money. The couple will be incredibly thankful and will likely let you know what the money goes towards for the big day.
6. Cookbook
A cookbook may not be the first thing you think of when it comes to bridal shower gifts, but this would pair nicely with new kitchen appliances or kitchenware that is in the gift basket. Think about it. Now that the couple is getting married, they will be cooking together often. Instead of stressing and fretting over meal planning and dinner ideas, a cookbook gives them the opportunity to explore food in a structured and organized way. This will also make for a fun experience for the couple!
7. Personalized Pillows and Throws
Why not give a gift that is extra special for the couple to cuddle up with? Whether it be a throw blanket, or pillows for their couch or bed, these items are sure to create a cozy home atmosphere. You can customize pillows with photos or words. For photo ideas, maybe do a collage of the couple. For word ideas, you can use a romantic quote, or something like having one pillow saying "Mrs." and one "Mr."
8. Bath Robes
A bath robe feels like a hug after taking a hot bath or shower. People are easily able to step into them without the hassle of wrapping a towel and they offer warmth and comfort. Why not get the couple a matching set? White and creams are classic colors, but you could even do grey, black, or brown. To go one step further, you could even have the robes personalized with the couple's names, or a saying like, "Just married."
9. Picnic Basket Set
Imagine sitting on a blanket in the grass on a crisp spring day with the fresh air blowing across your face. To make it even better, you have a great spread of food and drinks in front of you. This cannot be possible without a picnic basket set! Look for one that includes a wicker basket, plates, cutlery, cups and insulation. Not only is this a delightful way to relax, but it makes for a great date too. Maybe they will even share it with you!
10. Picture Frames
After the wedding, and even the bridal shower, the couple will have a ton of photos to add to their collection. This makes picture frames a great gift idea. There are different designs, styles and colors to choose from, but we recommend silver or white as they are the most modern and simple. Feel free to give the couple the frames alone, or you can even give them filled with a photo of the two lovebirds. You can also get the frame engraved with a romantic saying or their names to make it even more special.
