Bridal Shower gift help

So I am going to an "Around the House" bridal shower.  Our invitation has: bedroom as the room we are suppose to bring gifts for.  Everything on the registry is over $50 for the bedroom, and honestly- I just want to take something cute- but not $50 worth, and even that would only be the "top sheet".  I got two mongrammed pillow cases.  Any other ideas for a little something to add to the gift?

Re: Bridal Shower gift help

  • What about some candles for setting the mood?  I was also thinking a throw pillow for the bed would be nice.  Or a picture frame that they could put a wedding picture in.  There are also those linen sprays that could be a nice addition.  Or maybe a throw blanket, if you could find one cheap?  Or could you just buy nice pillows to put in the cases and tie a big bow around them?
  • I agree with Elissaann-- to go with the monogrammed pillow cases, what about two pillows?  I've seen some at Kohls that aren't the worst at $5 each.  And one can never have enough pillows!!

     If you don't want to do that, perhaps one of those cooling eye masks--you can usually find some at TJ Maxx or Marshalls for $10 or less.  OR, perhaps you could embroider a little door pillow (you know a pillow that has string that hangs from your door knob) that says something funny like "if the room is a rocking don't come knocking" or "newlyweds--privacy please."  You know, just something fun and cute and playful--but not in too naughty a way, just in case Grandma Pearl isn't into all that.  Stick out tongue

  • since you got pillow cases (cute idea btw!) how about adding some pillow or linen spray. bath and body works hs some great scents. love the lavender!
  • OR what about a travel alarm clock?  Assuming they are going somewhere neat for their honeymoon, something easy to read and program might be a neat little gift.  And I'm sure you could find something cheap somewhere.
  • Or a little more scandalous, perhaps a cute or sweet pair of undies and maybe sew a little blue bow on them? 
  • Love the ideas ladies!  I was just not thinking "outside the box".  I like the idea of putting pillows in the pillowcases.  I've got a nice tote to put everything in- so I will probably add some linen spray and an alarm clock.  Thanks for your help!
