So your friend is tying the knot and you immediately began thinking about what to get them to mark the milestone occasion. Relatable! First things first, let's make one thing clear: From the wedding itself to the bridal shower to the bachelorette party, there's likely going to be a lot of gift-giving involved. If the bride-to-be has a registry, that's pretty much the easiest thing to reference. But if you might want to go in a more creative direction, because, ya know, it's not really a surprise if everything she receives is something she picked out for herself—we’ve got you covered.
Not sure what to get? Opt for something that will help her start her new life with her partner. Think kitchenware, travel essentials (for the honeymoon, obvi), or some luxe bed sheets. Or, you can pick out something more personal, like an initial necklace or a custom stack of stationery. The goal is simply for the bride to love the gift—and use it more than just once. That said, here are 60 extremely chic and unique bridal shower gift ideas to browse. For those who accidentally waited too long to snag a gift from the registry, relax, you have a saving grace (okay, more like 60 saving graces). Now get to it!
