Bridal Shower Gifts and Ideas
When you give a bridal
shower gift, you want it to be as special as you can possibly make it.
There are many ways to do this. The gift itself can be unique or the
presentation can be unique. Or both. Use your imagination and have fun
with it.
For a gift that is in itself unique, the bride-to-be will treasure a
hand decorated photo album with pictures of the couple during their
courtship. Another idea is an 'Anniversary Keepsake Box'. The box could
be made of a beautiful hardwood that is personalized for the couple and
used to put small items in that are special mementos of each
anniversary.
A special cookbook, like a gourmet cookbook or a cooking for two
cookbook makes a nice shower gift, especially when it is wrapped in a
pretty dish towel and decorated with wooden spoons fasten on with
ribbons. Another way to present a cookbook is to wrap it so it resembles
a decorated cake. This can done by wrapping the book in tissue paper and
using ribbon, bits of tissue paper and silk flowers to decorate it.
Want to give needed items but with a bit of flare? This can provide for
some fun. Small kitchen utensils, like vegetable peelers, kitchen
timers, and wire whisks, or spices and baking necessities, like
cinnamon, ginger, baking powder, etc., can be wrapped individually in
very pretty little packages and arranged nicely in a pretty bread
basket. Napkin rings with nice linen napkins arranged in them to
resemble flowers and placed in a beautiful glass or crystal serving
bowl. These are wonderful ways to present ordinary gifts in
extraordinary ways.
Other ways to present ordinary gifts in less than ordinary ways are to
present a set of coffee mugs in a basket that includes a selection of
samples of gourmet coffees, flavored creamers, teas and cocoa mixes.A
stovetop griddle with a selection of pancake mixes and syrups would make
a pleasing gift as well. A selection of ice cream toppings presented in
a basket with ice cream bowls and an ice cream scoop is another idea.
Try a romantic movie, gourmet popcorn and a popcorn bowl wrapped up in a
snuggly throw for a quiet night at home for the couple.
For a fun way of presenting ordinary items, you can try giving an iron
skillet or rolling pin labeled as 'husband training aids'. If you use
your imagination and keep in mind the relationship you have with the
bride-to-be, funny gifts and funny ways of presenting ordinary gifts
abound. A barbecue tool set with an apron that has a funny saying on it
is one of the ideas. Vitamin supplements packaged as a survival kit is
another.
Giving a bridal shower gift does not have to be ordinary. Even if the
gift itself is traditional, it can be presented in a very untraditional
manner. Have fun with it and use your imagination. The bride-to-be will
appreciate it and your gift will stand out from the others in her memory
as a result.
