Work Bridal Shower Gift

One of my colleagues is getting married in August, and we are throwing her a shower. She and FH have been living together for a while, so they aren't registering for any houseware stuff. She had said that they had planned to register for part of their honeymoon, but I can't find that registery - and I'm not sure if they ever even did it. The wedding has been planned really quickly.

We'll probably end up getting her a Visa gift card or something to use on her honeymoon - but we'd like to get her something else as a gift from the office.

She and her FH met lindy hopping and dancing is a major part of their lives, if that helps?

Any ideas?

if you are looking for something small since you are getting the VISA giftcard, what about a gift certificate to snapfish or shutterfly and a photo albumn for their honeymoon pics

maybe some luggage - or make-up kit.
where are they going - if its warm - maybe some sun tan lotion, towels, flip flops. maybe a book on their destination

or combine some stuff - find out the cuisine in the area - get a cookbook, some ingredients, a new pan.

not sure how much $$ you are collecting but maybe a camera to take with them?

maybe a spa day so she'll look pretty and relaxed for the wedding?

picture frames - wedding/HM theme.

Thanks, so far these are great!

They are headed to Italy on their honeymoon - not sure where in Italy.

As for wine, I don't think they are big drinkers.

I love the Visa card idea! that would be SO great for their HM!

My co-workers chipped in and gave me a Fortunoff gift card for my shower - I loved being able to spend it the way I wanted to Chat Icon I got some great stuff!

a Visa card would have been even better Chat Icon

The visa gift card is a great idea!!!

In my old office we used to get the employee a gift from Tiffany's like candlesticks, a bowl or a frame.
