OK, i have an idea for the wedding shower gift.
Get a nice bix box or basket, and fill it with a selection of small nice items that you think the new bride will find necessary during / after the wedding that she may not have time to think of. If she is going on honeymoon, or staying at a hotel, u might include some travel size luxury cosmetics or scented shower gels and shampoos. Definitely include some sort of wet wipes (freshening up). Maybe a couple of nice face towels (u really DONT wanna use hotel towels on your face!), even small snacks like nuts and chocolates and individually wrapped cakes and stuff in case they dont like whats on offer in the mini bar.
Also, things like make-up / nail polish remover and cotton pads and tissues.
Fill it with other stuff that u think she will like, u r her friend so u should know.
U can add something like a nightie slip or something too.
A gift like this is nice bcos its personalised and VERY useful too. That means that when its her wedding u can get her a proper gift.
What does everyone else think? All those of u who are married, can u think of anything that u needed / would have liked???
