Bridal shower gift ideas for a non-registered couple?
I'm going to a bridal shower on Saturday and the couple have not registered anywhere. What should I give as a gift? We are planning to do a card with cash for the wedding gift, but I want to give her something nice for the shower.
Re: Bridal shower gift ideas for a non-registered couple?
I disliked getting gifts not on the registry...but then again we had a registry.
Hmmm...difficult (and a bit annoying) situation you're in. My initial reaction was a gift card but it sounds like you really want to take a tangible gift. Perhaps a ring holder? My cousin gave me one at my bridal shower even though we didn't register for it and I have been so happy ever since and use it constantly!
Maybe a nice crystal or glass vase? What about a gift certificate for a couples massage? I could never turn down something like that- bridal shower or no bridal shower!

THIS!:

She'll be all like, "HUH?" but over time she'll realize she would readily trade one of her major organs / kids if she had to in order to keep this steamer.
Do you know if the couple already has "everything" (hence why they're not registered)? Is there anything you use that you think they'd enjoy/could benefit from? We use our hot air popper all the time but I don't know how much someone else would use it.
More tangible gift ideas: Candles (or oils/bath salts), board games, chocolate fountain, picture frames (digital?), quality pillows (like, memory foam), picnic basket (with blanket and a bottle of wine), beach towels.
As far as GCs go: I love anything spa related because I rarely would pay for it myself (mani, pedi, facial, massage). And restaurant GCs give DH and I a reason to eat-out.
I agree! I didn't register for a crystal vase and when I received one, I LOVED it! I keep mine on the kitchen table, and I love switching out flowers for different holidays.
Museum or zoo memberships are always a neat gift. Christmas ornaments are fun, too; I've done that several times.
