Unique Bridal Shower Gift

My mom is looking for a unique/fun gift that can be given to my cousin at her shower.. and it needs to be something that can be bought at a store

her mom already bought her the sweatsuit already and my mom got the red plate

anyone have any good ideas??

why does it have to be something bought at a store? because you don't have time to order something?

what about a channa plaque?

or a book of family recipes?

Or

she also got a basket with all household cleaning supplies. It was probably over $200 whole of stuff. Kinda out of the box but totally useful.

damn! i like the other ideas ladies have given (e.g. cleaning supplies, decorations for holidays)

how about a really nice address book with everyone's addresses from the family in it? i feel like that would be EXTREMELY useful

FOr my shower I got some cute things...

I got a gc for a Massage and a robe/slippers


A wine basket with wine glasses/candles/wine opener ice bucket ect.

My FSIL bought me a gc to get my nails done for my wedding day.


I thought they were all thoughtful and different.

My FML framed my invitation and added glitter and ribbons to it.... she also wrapped a rolling pin in white fabric and had Bride spelt on it and added ribbons to the end where the guest signed it... it was different and cute, but require being crafty and a little bit of time

Also my aunt took a pic of me and Fh off of Facebook and had it made into a painting... it was so cute and i wasn't expecting it at all

there's a really cute poem that goes with a basket of candles... like a silver one for the 25th anniversary... one for the wedding night...


Here's the poem:
A basket of candles that come in a pair,
of all different colors, for you two to share.

The white ones burn first, they are wrapped in white lace,
to celebrate the first night in your new chosen place.

The mauve pair is smaller, and thinner,
they burn with your first company over for dinner.

There are candles to burn Christmas Eve, before bed,
your first Christmas married, that’s why they are red.

The navy candles are for your first fight;
use them to burn when making up all night.

Pink candles will set the mood and pave the way
for your very first married Valentine’s Day.

Now when your first year of marriage is through,
the Ivory anniversary pair will light for you two.

By this time we hope maybe, just maybe,
you could burn the yellow ones on the birth of your baby.

And just when you thought you could put these away;
take the light blue ones for your fifth anniversary day.

Now just one pair left for the big '25',
the anniversary pair that will keep your love alive.

So congratulations both of you on the start of your 'forever',
may the two of you always be happy together.

And burn these candles just like I said,
but please don’t forget…blow them out before bed!

For my cousins shower, I bought her her luggage and filled it with HM stuff and shrink wrapped it open... It was a big hit but Idk how much more she wants to spend

She could consider a lladro figurine

She could do that wine poem thing or the the basket of candles

Yes this! I love this

a gift certificate for an excursion on their honeymoon. For my sister's shower we gave them a dinner out on the beach and a kyacking excursion for their honeymoon in Hawaii.

You can order it through their travel agent or hotel and then All you have to do is print something up on a piece of paper.

It is a red plate that is given at the bridal shower traditionally. Typically the plate has either 'You are special today' or the family name painted on it... it is often given with the poem below


May today be one of many red letter days
Times you’ll remember in so many ways
This gift is a tradition for you to start
A gift of love, straight from the heart
On days that are special that you’ll want to
recall
Set out the red plate to celebrate it all
Honor the person and their great feat
On this special plate, let them joyously eat
It may be a birthday, promotion, good grade
A Little League win or wise choice that was made
May your years together as husband and wife
Bring you countless special days throughout your life
These wonderful times will come and go
Keep the red plate at the ready as your blessings flow

Red Plate description

A laundry basket with a poem attached and filled with all the things in caps below....

Dear (Bride),
As you prepare for marriage,
I thought I’d let you in on a little SECRET.
Although, in physique, (Groom) might be BRAWNY
and have a really CHARMIN personality,
you may soon find out that he is no MR. CLEAN.
But don’t let that make you SHOUT.
Remember that he will always be there to SNUGGLE -
a best friend to fill your life with extra ZEST.
So please, continue to give (Groom) your ALL,
and your home never will be short on JOY!

or...

Dear (Bride's Name):
You are entering a new ERA
There will come a THYME in your marriage when you find (Groom's name) is not always MR CLEAN.
But dont send out the S.O.S because he may VANISH.
(Groom's name) will always bring you CHEER and you will find that he is you white DOVE.
When you are together you will find JOY.
So remember your PLEDGE and give him your ALL.
To (Bride and Groom)
The best of luck & Good Fortune in the years to come.
And may (Groom) always be your HONEY
