Around the Clock shower gift ideas needed - 1 pm

Hello ladies!  I was invited to an Around the Clock wedding shower (I'm assuming it's co-ed for the bride and groom since both DH and I were invited).  We got assigned 1 pm.  Of course my dirty mind is thinking of "afternoon quicky" stuff, but I am not very close with the bride or groom, so I don't think that would be appropriate.

I would appreciate any feedback on gift ideas.  My DH suggested getting a throw blanket to signify an afternoon nap.  I thought about getting a tea kettle and some teacups.

Thank you!

Re: Around the Clock shower gift ideas needed - 1 pm

  • I like the idea of a blanket for a nap.  Of course I'd also think that could fall under a lunch time so if there is something lunchy on the registry I'd go that route.
  • Something Picnic-y, Maybe a cooler or a picnic set?

  • Are they sports fans?  1:00 at our house is football in the fall!  You could get beer mugs, chip and dip bowl, crockpot (for chili), or other entertaining ideas.
  • A panini press - the one for a stove top
    Iced Tea pitcher and glasses or an iced tea maker
    Apron and kitchen utensils
    Gift card to trader joe's or whole foods and a cute picnic basket

  • A bottle of wine and some fun wine glasses with a note that says, "It's 5 pm somewhere!"

  • I've never heard of this...how does it work? Maybe I'll use it the next time I'm throwing a shower. THANKS! Big Smile

  • Whatever you do try to get something from the registry.  If you go off registry make sure to include a receipt.
  • Thanks for all the ideas!  They are big football fans, so I might go with that theme.

    To the PP who asked what kind of shower this is ... the theme is "Around the Clock" so each guest is assigned a time (listed on the invitation) and it is recommended that a gift be given related to that time of day.  So if the assigned time was 7 am, a coffeemaker might be a good gift, or if it was 9 pm, a pair of slippers and a bathrobe :)
