Are you wondering what to give for bridal shower gifts? Do you want to give the best bridal shower gifts that are useful, too?
I hear ya!
Well, you’ve come to the right place! We did all the digging to find wedding shower gifts that are useful so she’ll have something fun and unique to open.
Fun tip: get her gift wrap personalized, like this by SoSweetPartyShop!
Everyone wants to give the best gift at a bridal shower: something the bride will think is sweet, functional, or useful for the wedding day itself.
We’ve all seen common bridal shower gifts: the kitchen towels, the mixing bowls, fine china, and those best-selling small appliances. While those are always awesome (and much-needed) gift suggestions, there’s something special about finding a present off-the-registry in lieu of something more tailored to the bride.
While most people turn to the traditional wedding registry to do all of their gift shopping, we’re thinking a few unique gift suggestions are in order… so we made this HUGE list!
In this curated list, you’ll find the best bridal shower gifts for the bride (mostly from Etsy) that are not available at your typical big-box chain stores where registries are created. (P.S. You can make an Etsy registry, for real! Here’s how it works.)
Many of these are things she may not know exists — but she’ll be glad to have.
From Mrs necklaces to tote bags, cozy slippers to bridal robes, jewelry to perfume, signs to cooking gifts, we found a little bit of everything to make the bride happy.
We’re also sharing a few wedding gifts for couples, just in case that is more of a perfect gift for you.
Don’t forget the card!
