Gift ideas for Bridal Shower...

Hi. I am helping my friends future sister in law plan a bridal shower and we are trying to think of gifts for the games played. She has already thought of the usual BBW stuff, candles... I thought about Starbuck GC. Is there anything else that is more unique or you would be happy to get as a small gift?

Re: Gift ideas for Bridal Shower...

  • Check in Michael's dollar section, I always find cute little gifts there. At the one in State College they usually have note cards, stationary items, stickers, I've also seen them have recipe boxes and other kitchen items. You should be able to put together a cute little bag of items for about $5 or less. Also try Target's dollar spot, they are always changing what they have and I always find cute things. These are the places I plan on looking for prize gifts for my sister shower next month.
  • The candle poem for a bridal shower. The poem accompanies a basket full of colored candles for the bride and groom to light when they reach certain milestones in their relationship.

    A timeless tradition, this bridal shower gift poem is a really sweet way to celebrate the couple's future together!

     


    A Basket of Candles For (Bride's name)

    A basket of candles that come in a pair
    in all different colors, for you two to share.
    The white ones burn first;
    they are wrapped in white lace
    to celebrate your first married night
    in your new chosen place.
    The green pair is taller, and also much thinner;
    burn with the first company you have over for dinner.
    The dark blue candles are for after your first fight;
    use them to burn while making up all night.
    Pink candles set the mood and pave the way
    for your first married Valentine?s Day.
    Now, when your first year of marriage is through,
    the cream anniversary pair, will light for you two.
    Red candles aflame, both your futures are bright;
    celebrate promotions you?ve worked toward with all of your might.
    By this time we hope, maybe, just maybe
    you can light the purple ones, on the birth of your baby.
    And just when you thought you?d put these away,
    take the light blue ones out for your fifth anniversary day.
    Now just one more pair left - for the big "two five" -
    the anniversary pair that will keep your love alive.
    Congratulations (Bride and Groom)
    on the start of your forever.
    May the two of you always be happy together.
    And burn these candles just the way we said,
    but please don?t forget: blow them out before bed!

    -- Candle Poem Bridal Shower --

    WhiteGreenNavy bluePinkCreamRedPurpleLight blueSilver - although the bridal shower candle poem doesn't mention this color directly, silver symbolizes twenty-five years of marriage. http://www.unique-bridal-shower-ideas.com/candlepoembridalshower.html 
  • those magnetic memo pads for the fridge are always a hit. cool markers/pens/pencil, small address books, journals...
  • I'm sorry I thought you meant a gift for the BRIDE :)
  • Depending on the crowd (not too conservative) and shower theme, wine (you can get decent bottles for $10 or less) or drink mixes might work.  My shower had a Mexican theme, so the prizes were margurita drink mixes.

    Anything edible tends to go over well.  Gourmet chocolates might be nice.

  • you could do girly dvd's. that's what they did at mine, you can usually find some cheap ones at walmart
  • My mom found some really nice crystal gifts at Ross and the like, for under $10, but worth much more.  She found really pretty candle holders and cute flower pots.
