My sister texted me tonight saying she’s going to a bridal shower and has no clue what to get the bride and wondered if I had any ideas. Because I’m in the wedding industry I totally should have ideas and lots of them, right? Well, I was a little embarrassed to admit that I didn’t have a blog post that could help her, but I promised that soon I would. So, here it is!
Super Adorbs Apron
I know it’s super sexist to say that now that she’s becoming a wife she needs an apron, but I’ll tell you a little secret: I didn’t cook until I was married. I mean, I knew how to make scrambled eggs and miso soup but I mostly ate take out from the Whole Foods deli because I didn’t know how to cook. So I would have LOVED an apron as a bridal shower gift! Check out this cute and colorful apron.
Colorful Nautical Notecards
These sweet nautical notecards are perfect for a bride getting married in Maine! I would freakin’ love a set of these and would totally use them. The handwritten note is coming back in style (thank god) and you might even get one of these as a thank you note if you give her this sweet gift!
Jewelry Organizer-Thingy
I need one of these soooo badly! This is the perfect give because it’s the kind of thing that your friend might not buy herself but she probably totally needs. My necklaces are a knotted mess and my earrings are all over the place. I would LOVE to get this sweet copper jewelry stand.
Framable Botanical Prints
I adore these! Every since seeing Alicia Florrick’s wall of framed botanical and bird prints I’ve wanted to do the same thing in my living room. I think they would look so pretty framed and laid out in a grid. Maybe get two sets so she can really make a statement. Would your bride friend like these beautiful botanical prints?
Otter Tape Dispenser
Ergmagahd! Apparently I’m just putting together a list of things I want because I MUST have this otter tape dispenser. He’s so dang cute, just look at that face! Another little story…this year for our anniversary I got my husband a card that said “We’re meant for each otter!” Cute, right? I know, and so is this adorable otter tape dispenser. I promise you, your friend doesn’t already have one. 😉
Everyone Needs Gold Bowls
Ok, yeah, this post is totally just a list of things I want. LOL! But, c’mon, who wouldn’t want these awesome gold bowls? They even have matching gold mugs, but I think I like the bowls even better. If she doesn’t want to eat ice cream out of them, then maybe she can use them for her hair ties or rings or keys or nuts or candies or…whatever.
Mrs. Wine Tote
And, because she’s becoming a Mrs. this little canvas wine tote would be a perfect bridal shower gift! And a wine tote is yet another useful item that people don’t usually buy for themselves. And, you can totally put a bottle of champagne in it and tell her it’s to bring to the bridal suite on wedding day! What a thoughtful gift. Give her this miss to mrs. wine tote and she’ll know you really “get” her.
Little Retro Nightgown
It’s traditional to get the bride some lingerie for her bridal shower, so why not get her something cute she can wear on her honeymoon. This cute little nightgown could fit most figures and is super flattering and totally sweet. C’mon, it’s not like you’re getting her leopard print g-strings.
Studs are The Hoops
Is she into jewelry? Studs are making a comeback, so maybe get her this charming set of pastel-y colored earrings. Every time she wears them she’ll think of you. And if you’re wondering what to get *me* for Christmas, I’d love these!
You Need More Sleep
You didn’t think I’d make it through a whole post about gift ideas without throwing in something with cats on it, did you? Maybe you don’t know me well enough yet. I’m a proud, crazy cat lady to two sweet cats, Felix and Bean. They even have their own Instagram account where you can see the life they live in Maine. So, yeah, I, like, really love cats! Hey, maybe your friend does to! Get her this funny cat advice book.
I truly, honestly love every item in this post. I’m also part of the ModCloth affiliate program and the links on this page are affiliate links.
