What can I bring for my friends shower..something special??
I know this is a wedding related question but I need ideas...
My best friend is getting married and I am a bridesmaid. Her shower is coming up and I want to make her something special. I dont know what to do for her. I am not that crafty at all, so if its something that can be ordered, that would be even better. I am going to buy her something off of her registry as well of course but I wanted to bring something extra...any ideas??? TIA

How about something personal. What does she like? What are her hobbies? I just went to a shower where the bride loves taking pictures and someone gave her the most beautiful photo album. I liked how it was a really personal gift.

Re: What can I bring for my friends shower..something special??
I liked that candle basket that I saw on LIW - it was a basket of different colored taper candles with a poem describing the significance of each. I'll see if I can find it.....
Just found it!
A Basket of Candles
For ___bride name___
A basket of candles That come in a pair
In all different colors, For you two to share
The white ones burn first
They are wrapped in white lace
To celebrate your first married night
In your new chosen place
The green pair is taller, and also much thinner
Burn with the first company, you have over for dinner
The dark blue candles are for after your first fight
Use them to burn while making up all night
Pink candles set the mood and pave the way
For your first married Valentine’s Day
Now, when your first year of marriage is through
The cream anniversary pair, will light for you two.
Red candles aflame, both your futures are bright.
Celebrate promotions you’ve worked toward with all of your might.
By this time we hope, maybe, just maybe
You can light the purple ones, on the birth of your baby,
And just when you thought, you’d put these away
Take the light blue ones out-for your fifth anniversary day.
Now just one more pair left-for the big 2 5
The anniversary pair that will keep your love alive
Congratulations bride and groom (enter names)
On the start of your forever
May the two of you always be happy together
And burn these candles
Just the way we said
But please don’t forget-blow them out before bed!

my future mother in law made me 12 different baskets for every month of the year for holiday stuff. you could just make up one big basket with different holidays in it. i also got a big cooler filled with patio stuff like plastic cups and things like that with a bottle of wine in it too.

My BMs did this for me and I loved it. They read the poem out loud at my shower. They gave me each set of candles as they read the poem. I thought it was really sweet.

i think this is kind of cute:
If she is going to be moving to a new area buy her this book and go around to her "new" areas take out resturants and fill it up for her.

I have heard of people buying three bottles of champagne: one for the wedding night, one for the first house purchase, and one (non-alcholic) for the news of your first baby. You could make up a nice basket.

Re: What can I bring for my friends shower..something special??
My MOH got me all different types of lingerie and hung it on a clothes line. It was sooo cute! She also put different types of underwear, candles, towels, etc in 3 hat boxes and made me up a huge basket of kitchen utensils - all were GREAT ideas!
I got her a similar basket of lingerie and also got her a gift certificate for her and her DH to get a "couples massage" at the spa of their hotel while on their honeymoon.
Good luck!
