Help me with a Special shower gift

My SIL and brother's shower is this weekend and I want to do a thoughful gift. Something along the lines of 'for your wedding night...' 'First Anniversary'....'First fight'....'First baby'...

Can you guys think of something cute like this?

Thanks

Re: Help me with a Special shower gift

I have something reallllly cute for first fight
There's something called the Apology goblet. Do a search for it.
What it is, is you get a glass goblet, and have it inscribed the words 'I'm sorry'

The card given with the gift could read something like this . . .


Bride & Groom names,


You are probably wondering why you would receive just one glass as a gift, but this is a very special type of glass. It is called the forgiveness glass and it has just one use. As in any marriage, small arguments, disagreements, and even large scale fighting occurs. With these also comes tears, harsh words, walls of silence, etc., and happiness is gone.
When you two are angry with each other, one of you should get the glass, fill it with any fluid, from water to champagne, bring it to the other and the two of you share forgiveness. It does not matter who was right or wrong, do not count those times. Instead count the blessings you two are sharing as husband and wife. As our Lord said at the last supper this cup is shed for the remission of sins. He has set the example for us.


We give this gift to you as a token of our love for the both of you. Of course, we hope that of all your gifts, this one need not be used too often. May God bless you two and your life together.


This tag should be attached to the glass . . .


This is a very special goblet,
as you can surely see.
Etched upon it's glass,
are the words 'I'm sorry'.
Serve it as an offering,
with the drink of your choice,
as a symbol of surrender,
in an argument with raised voice.
Share it with your loved one,
as you both gulp down your pride.
And return to a made-up world,
where you enjoy the partner by your side.

You can do a search for different candles that would go for each event. Then give it to her with a letter attached saying something sweet for each one. I heard of someone doing something like this and it sounded sweet. Also, try bridal advantage.com

Re: Help me with a Special shower gift

i went to a shower and the MOH made 4 movie baskets, one for each season and filled them up with things related to the season.
for example, winter - hot cocoa, marshmallows, romantic movie, warm blanket and slippers
summer - sunscreen, flip flops, beach towel and a beachy movie

and so on.. each basket had a cute poem attached to it..

Re: Help me with a Special shower gift

You can do that idea with bottles of wine.. wine for you first Christmas, first Valentine's Dat etc..

Re: Help me with a Special shower gift

you can do a wine basket for them. each bottle is wrapped with different color tulle or ribbons. and has a little poem for each

Wedding Night- (white tulle)

The night you have dreamed of is finally here.
The future surrounds you with hope and yet fear.
You’ve wanted so long to find your mate.
Sip this wine and toast this date.
The night is meant for you to share.
Enjoy each other a perfect pair.

First Dinner party- (gold tulle)

As you open your home to all of your friends to entertain and eat.
It’s a place for old friends to catch up and new ones to meet.
When the night is over two great hosts can share this bottle of wine.
But don’t sit down yet pull up your sleeves because now it’s clean up time.

First fight- (black tulle)

When fights occur as they sometimes will and tempers are steaming hot.
Pour a glass take a sip and be thankful for what you’ve got.
For in a marriage if everyone agreed it would certainly be a bore.
And by asking for my friend's help, GROOM is surely in for more!

Christmas Eve- (red and green tulle)

A wise man turned to a friend and said wine is better than beer.
And now is the season for friends and fun and lots of holiday cheer.
So pop the cork and relax a bit and when the night is through,
kiss goodnight, close your eyes and Santa will be good to you.

First Anniversary- (cream tulle)

Tonight you’ve been married a year one wonders where the time goes.
No longer are you newlyweds, soon you’ll be pro’s.
I hope the days have found you both in good health and spirit.
Keep saying I love you one always needs to hear it.
Now toast this date known as the first but certainly not the last.
And as you build your future don’t ever forget the past.

1st Baby-(pink and blue tulle)

The news that a baby will soon share your life will make you a mother not only a wife.
You’ll see it through good times and sometimes bad.
BRIDE the loving mother, and GROOM the dearest dad.
Now GROOM must drink this one alone, and BRIDE with empty glass.
Sit back and relax nine months they quickly pass!

I have a poem for a 'basket of candles' at home. I'll post it when I get home tonight if you are interested. I give it every shower, and it's always a hit. I've also made a towel cake and stuck candles all around it to make it a cake filled with candles. I wish I had pics, but I never thought about it when I made them.

Basket of Candles
For bride's name

A basket of candles That come in a pair
In all different colors, For you two to share
The white ones burn first
They are wrapped in white lace
To celebrate your first married night
In your new chosen place
The green pair is taller, and also much thinner
Burn with the first company, you have over for dinner
The dark blue candles are for after your first fight
Use them to burn while making up all night
Pink candles set the mood and pave the way
For your first married Valentine’s Day
Now, when your first year of marriage is through
The cream anniversary pair, will light for you two.
Red candles aflame, both your futures are bright.
Celebrate promotions you’ve worked toward with all of your might.
By this time we hope, maybe, just maybe
You can light the purple ones, on the birth of your baby,
And just when you thought, you’d put these away
Take the light blue ones out-for your fifth anniversary day.
Now just one more pair left-for the big 2 5
The anniversary pair that will keep your love alive
Congratulations bride and groom (enter names)
On the start of your forever
May the two of you always be happy together
And burn these candles
Just the way we said
But please don’t forget-blow them out before bed!
