Unique Bachelorette Party Gift Ideas

Any ideas for a unique gift that doesn't fall into the lingerie / bath and body product / sex toy categories? You are all so creative so I wanted your input. This is for my sister in law. Thanks!!!

  • Does she like to drink?

    I like to do theme gifts:  cute shot glasses, shot/liquor dispenser, and a small book with shot recipes or margarita glasses, pitcher, mix and a bottle of tequilla, or martini glasses, shaker and gin.  I'm sure you get the idea. 

  • Like the Spa GC idea

    I could scan her registry to see if there is anything fun on there

    They love Detroit and exploring it.  Wonder if I could play up on that.  But, this gift should be about only her right?

  • I like everyone's ideas - I would suggest the same thing. Or maybe a movie themed basket or a spa pampering one. That's all I can think of. If she is into books, maybe a book basket of a gift card to a favorite book store, new bookmark, some lil snacks, cozy blanket or slippers, etc.

    Exactly. Which is why I like the spa idea, or Charity's book-themed basket is a great one too.

  • OK, I was thinking about something from one of the hotels they are staying at in Spain.  Like a massage or something.  How risky do you think I am being in purchasing something over the phone like that with a credit card?  I've never done this in a different country. 

     I know I sound antiquated here but I have to ask...

  • How about a prepaid Visa or MC with that amount that she can take with her instead of you calling and get all razzled. Wouldn't that be easier for you and her?

  • I had someone give me a big totebag full of things to be used for the honeymoon (towels that had been embroidered with our names and our destination, a bathing suit cover-up, big bottle of aloe vera, sun tan oil and lotion, sunglasses, flip-flops, etc.)  I really enjoyed it and we used every bit of it.

    I was going to suggest a bag of stuff of some sort with honeymoon stuff.

    This isn't unique but how about nice pjs that are a tad bit sexy but something she would be comfortable wearing every night. 

  • You can get custom wine bottle labels done up at Cascade Winery and since you happen to have access to their engagement pictures, I think you could come up with some really cool designs.

    You could get her a GC to the spa that MGM Grand in Detroit.  My mom says that place is fantastic and it's in Detroit. 

    I would be nervous about getting something at an international hotel, especially if it isn't a chain.  It could be totally fine, but I would be nervous risking it.  It would be nice for her to have a gift card for a spa treatment that she coud use when everything is over. 

  • I like the spa g.c. or a nightie idea.  Something cutesy, but not overly sexy like gvsu suggested.  That was one of the best gifts I got at mine, a little nightie I could actually wear every night.
