This luxurious silk chemise features a V-neckline, a bias cut, and thin, adjustable straps. In general, it’s much easier to buy a slip-style lingerie piece for another person because it’s not too fitted. It comes in an inclusive size range and falls to about the mid-thigh. Available in black, creme, and ruby, this slip will be her go-to lingerie during the honeymoon and beyond.

This gorgeous candle is handmade in France using traditional techniques (the original Trudon company goes back to the 17th century).

She'll use this chic travel case from Anya Hindmarch when she travels, which makes it a great gift to give her ahead of a destination wedding and honeymoon.

Made from recycled jacquard nylon and leather, the bag also features a mirror with a holder, a sturdy top handle, and zip-around fastening.

This luxurious silk pajama set from Olivia Von Halle is a classic shower gift that she'll love (and get a lot of wear out of).

FAQ

• What are some unique bridal shower gift ideas?

  Anything personalized makes a lovely bridal shower gift that will stand out from the crowd. Experiential gifts like a certificate for a spa day or a self-care gift basket are also things that will be much appreciated by a busy bride.
  

• Should you bring a bridal shower hostess gift?

  It's a good idea to bring a small hostess gift for the person who is holding or organizing the bridal shower. Gifts could include a pretty candle, a bouquet of flowers, or a bottle of bubbly.

• Do I have to bring a bridal shower gift to the bridal shower?

  It's possible to send a larger bridal shower gift ahead of time, as you would do with a wedding present. But because the bridal shower is smaller in size than the wedding and presents are usually opened at the event, it's nice to come with something in hand.

• How much should I spend on a bridal shower gift?

  Since the bridal shower is a little more casual than the wedding, the price range is also a bit more flexible. Expect to spend between $30 to $80 on a bridal shower gift (on the lower end if you are not particularly close to the bride and higher if she is a good friend or family member).
