Is this a cute idea?
For a bridal shower gift?
buying 2 laundry baskets and filling it with a bunch of different size towels and washclothes
also getting the kitchen towels she registered for and having my MIL make those kitchen angels (She is actually real good at them- if anyone ever wants one FM me)
and then spending like another 30 or so dollars on a registry item....
Or
should I just take all the money and put it towards 1 registry item...
I just like themes.... and she did register for towels.... and I feel you can never have enough laundry baskets...

I like the idea, but I would only do a few towels and then fill it with other fun stuff ....some other things from her registry perhaps....it will be like a smorgasboard (sp?)....

Re: Is this a cute idea?
Are the towels off the registry? If not, I say put the money towards one registry gift.

Re: Is this a cute idea?
I like the first idea.
But if you are up for suggestions - I have one. My question before I tell you is - when is the shower? soon? cause if it is it might not work.
A friend of mine did this for a friends bridal shower and I loved it.
She made little basket for each of the holidays.
For instance - Valentines day - she bought little things for valentines day.
Christmas, Halloween, 4th of July, Thanksgiving, etc.

My mom did that for me -- she was shopping forever for stuff. It was great though - I literally had everything as the holidays came around.
I am a big theme person too. I hate just going off the registry. Love anything that you can put in a basket and wrap in cello.

Re: Is this a cute idea?
I loved the creative stuff too..she will probably be getting lots of stuff off of her registry..IMO..those gifts are boring to open..

Love this idea...I did a modified version for my cousin...I got the kitchen towels and potholders and oven mitts..for the different holidays.
I really like your idea--I wish I had registered for more towels and it's something you always need...just make sure they're neutral.

Re: Is this a cute idea?
Why don't you do a whole laundry theme?
Laundry basket or hamper
towels
detergent & fabric softener
iron
hangers

Well she is register for all the kitchen towels that we'd need to make the angel...
and then registered for 3 bath towels.... the rest would just be extra.... but you can never have enough- I was also thinking of throwing beach towels in there... she didnt register for them... but I KNOW she dosent have them... she prob. just didnt think of it..
I know I never thought to register for beach towels, never bought any when we moved in together, and then this summer I plan on going to the beach... and had no towels...

Beach towels are a great idea - we didn't have any either
