i have a shower i have to go to ( i am one of the BM's ) and i was thinking i wanted to make a basket of stuff...would you like either of these?

BBQ Basket - with things for the grill and outside stuff like BBQ set, pitcher and cups for outside, maybe marinades, utensil caddy, etc...all packed in a cooler

Honeymoon basket - things like travel stuff..lotions, aloe, sunscreen...just married flip flops...beach bag, newlywed shirts, etc

i was thinking maybe getting a custom cooler like this and filling it

I would say BBQ basket because i know myself and I am so picky about lotions and stuff I use on my body that I would prefer the bbq one! Great idea!!!!

If the couple loves to grill, I say go for the BBQ basket because I know I would love that gift!

I think doing themed baskets is very nice and creative. Almost every shower I've been too (bridal/baby) I have tried to find coordinating gifts on the registry to make baskets and they always love them.

Either gift sounds cool. I think it depends on the person, if she's the more laid-back type and loves get together, the BBQ basket would def be a great gift for her. If she's more into spa, aromatherapy, cosmetics, and being pampered, then the honeymoon basket would be perfect.

Re: woudl you like this shower gift?

i would rather get BBQ basket
i'm very very picky when it comes to lotions, etc., unless you really know them well and know what they would like
