Hello everyone, My friend is having her bridal shower this weekend (late to ask i know but humor me please) I just wanted some ideas for an extra something special that i can get her. I already got her some stuff off her registry but wanted to know if you guys got anything at your showers or could think of anything that isn't really expected but still very nice. I was thinking about going to Things Remembered but cant really decide on anything. TIA

It might be too late for this, but one of the gifts that I LOVED and thought was so original was a huge basket of holiday decorations... they started collecting them months before, obviously, but maybe you could start her with Halloween? Just a thought! Another cute thing I got was a beach bag filled w/ a bathing suit for me and DH, towels, sunscreen, aloe, etc. and we took that entire bag on our HM with us!

One of the gifts I got was our BBQ stuff..She put it in a basket and got the ingredients for smores too. She wrapped it in celophane and put a big bow on it. It was so cute! Another one that we got was from FMIL. She knew we wanted a grill but FH couldn't make up his mind about it so she put in the card a picture of a grill and gave us the money for it. She also put together all these other little gadgets from 'As Seen on TV'. She got the hamper we registered for and filled it with all this stuff. I loved it! Under the lid of the hamper she put a huge piece of foil and it said 'As Seen on TV'.

I did this at my SIL's shower it was nice...You make a basket of candles and read the following: A Basket of Candles For [insert 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 [insert Bride and Groom's 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!
