Unique Bridal Shower Gifts
Creative gifts that won't break the bank

Whilst bridal shower etiquette says that a shower is the place to bestow wedding gifts on the bride for her future home/life with hubby, these days, many people also take along small fun gifts like wedding shower favors, keepsakes or simply something borrowed, something blue.

Creative Bridal Shower Gifts

Sure, the bride won't be surprised if you give her the Magimix food processor or latest microwave she wants.

But at least she won't end up with 10 toasters or 5 juice extractors because she was either too shy or too lazy to get down the homewares store and set up her registry.

But gifts at stores are usually pricey, even if the couple have tried to keep the average price of an individual item down.

That's where creativity comes in!

Bridal Shower Gift Basket

• Put together a gift basket of useful, must-have items that a bride-to-be just can't do without.

• Maybe a basket of small kitchen utensils like a potato peeler, garlic crusher, wooden spoons, a grater, a spatula and a kitchen knife.

• Or how about some gardening gloves, packets of (easy to grow plant) seeds, a trowel and some garden twine?

• Or just make her feel like a pampered puss with an aromatic basket of essential oils, a towel and some bubble bath

Personalized Bridal Shower Gifts

Take a look at wedding favor online stores for fun personalized items that are great value gifts at bridal showers.

Or why not cook your own gifts?

Jars of homemade chutney or bottles of chilli oil infused with your latest crop of habanero chillies are great presents.

Print out labels with the names of the bride and groom on your PC for cheap and thoughtful gifts that will always please as they are made with tender loving care.

Tip: Wedding favor stores are great inspiration for tiny gifts that are really useful
