Gift question

What's a good gift to give to someone at their bridal shower who dosent have a registry?. Not a close friend. I plan on giving money at the wedding so I'm not sure if I want to give money at the shower as well. I would prefer not to.

Cash, gift cards, or you could make a basket with all sorts of things. Maybe a holiday basket? Or a wine basket?

I like the basket idea. Do you know where they are going on their honeymoon? I made a basket of honeymoon items, actually it was a monogrammed LL bean bag with the brides new initials, beach towels, sunscreen, and guidebooks for Hawaii, which was their destination. I think it was a hit.

That sounds great. I'll consider that. I would def do that for a close friend, I'm not sure about an acquaintance though!

Either a gift card or a basket...

I made a basket once with essentials, like can openers, pot holders, kitchen towels, maybe 2 coffee cups w/ hot chocolate/tea, etc???

Maybe a cooking one? A cooking book or 2, nice bottle of olive oil, measuring cups, etc???

Re: Gift question

I agree with everyone else... I would either give a gift card to a home store like BBB, Macy's, etc. or make up a basket... there are so many different ones you can do: pick any holiday, barbeque, honeymoon, etc.
