Gift for Bride

I'm the MOH for my cousin and I want to get her something nice for the shower, along with the usual shower gifts, since she lives in FL and I won't be there. Something sentimental that she will like, any suggestions??

Here you go:

According to the old German tradition, the
tree of a newlywed couple should include
these twelve ornaments to insure blessing
and happiness for their life together........

An Angel - God's Guidance in the Home
A Rose - Beauty and Affection
A Rabbit - Hope and Faith
A Teapot - Hospitality
A Pine Cone - Motherhood and Fruitfulness
A Santa - Unselfishness and Goodwill
A House - Shelter and Protection
A Fruit Basket - Generosity
A Bird - Happiness and Joy
A Flower Basket - Good Wishes
A Heart - True Love
A Fish - Christ's Blessing

The nicest gift I have seen was a set of four baskets, each one containing items for a season. The MOH included mugs, plates, photo albums, ornaments, decorations, personalized items, etc. for each season of the year. I thought it was so creative and useful!
