THREE UNIQUE GIFTS TO BUY FOR A BRIDAL SHOWER

Everybody buys china, kitchenware and bedding. They ooh and aah in respect, but it's all so predictable. Now it's your turn. She's opening up your gift, eager in anticipation. She knows you're the type to put a little thought into a bridal shower gift. Wait a minute. What did you buy?

Let's go back in time a few weeks to when you were trying to decide what you could possibly buy for a bridal shower. Price wasn't so much an issue, but originality was. But not too much originality, because you know the bride-to-be is usually picky about presents.

Indeed, it can be a scare shopping for a unique and much appreciated bridal shower gift. But chances are if you choose any of these gift ideas, your choice will be the talk of the party.

1. Victorian Romance
Buying according to a romantic theme is sure to be a popular choice-all the more so if it's not the theme of the party. That way, you look much more inventive. Products like bath oils, candles and holders, perfume, wine, make up, purses and lingerie are all available in the Victorian Romance theme. Buying one or more of the items in a collection is sure to bring a little class to the event. Just don't show up dressed as Queen Victoria if it's not a costume party..





2. Evening Wear
Clothing for bed isn't just limited to skimpy lingerie. Consider buying her a bathrobe or an evening gown made of high quality smooth material. Buying sexy lingerie is only good for one thing, usually the spouse's pleasure. (You also run the risk of offending her if she has modest tastes) But an evening gown or bathrobes are comfortable at all hours of the day. Bonus points for getting the bathrobe monogrammed with some familiar initials.





3. Free Tickets
It's hard to find fault with the gift of free tickets. Love the show or hate it, everybody likes a free night of entertainment. For best results choose a theater show that will appeal to general interest, such as a concert or well known musical. Warning: If you decide to give her free tickets to a cruise or exotic vacation with travel arrangements in place, expect a monster hug.

She opened her present and was wowed! Your gift was the talk of the bridal shower. A very good thing you put some thought into it!
