Need gift ideas

Lelly

I have a friend getting married and the bridal shower is this weekend. It's her second wedding, no registry.  What do you get?  I need ideas please!

a bottle of local wine and a pair of wine glasses

Does she like wine?  I saw this somewhere and saved it off thinking I wanted to do it sometime.  This is a direct c&p so some of the stuff is filler and their particular wedding stuff, but you can alter:

 

A basket of wine.  Each bottle of wine was different and had a tag attached by a different color bow. Below are the inscriptions of each tag.  ;-)

1. Your Wedding night: (Shelburne Vineyard, Arctic White ? semi-sweet)
The night you have dreamed of it finally here.
The future surrounds you with hope and yet fear.
You?ve waited so long to find your true mate.
Sip your wine and toast to this very special date.
The night is meant for you both to share,
So enjoy each other ? you?re the perfect pair!

2. New Year?s Eve: (Champagne)
With sparklers and hats there will be lots of cheer
So hold up your glasses and celebrate this special year
As you reflect on the last year and welcome a new
Pucker up those lips - you know what to do!

3. First Married Fight: (1.5 L of Shiraz - this one was the BIGGEST bottle of wine - fitting, huh?)
When fights occur and tempers are steaming hot,
Pour a glass, take a sip, and be thankful for what you?ve got.
For a marriage without disagreements would be a real bore.
When all is said and done, you?ll love each other even more!

4. New Home: (Cab Sauv)
You?ve lived together now for quite some time.
In this day and age, that is hardly a crime.
But buying a home together is certainly new.
It will take money and work, that much is true!
So when the closing is done, this bottle of wine is to share.
But drink it down fast or those boxes will still be there!

5. First Anniversary: (Sauv Blanc)
You?ve been married a year ? one wonders where the time goes.
No longer are you newlyweds, but rather old pros!
We hope the days have found you both in good health and spirit.
Keep saying the ?I love you?s;? one always needs to hear it.
Now toast to this date as the first but certainly not that last.
And as you build your future, don?t ever forget the past.

6. First Baby: (Sparkling Cider in a pink bow and Hard Cider in a blue bow))
There is news that a baby will soon share your life to make Jess a mother, not only a wife.
You?ll experience the good times and sometimes the bad.
Jess, the loving mother and Tim, the dearest Dad.
So here?s one for Tim and for Jess a special glass?
Now sit back and relax as the nine moths quickly pass!

 

 

 

Good luck!

Can't do alcoholic beverages as she is a recovering alcoholic.  This is why I'm stumped! LOL

Hmm, are they going on a honeymoon?  You could always do something for their.  Arrange for a romantic dinner for 2 on the beach or an upgrade on their room (cost pending, of course!), an excursion they want to do or something like that?

MarcyIam

Or maybe a gift card and/or hotel GC for their one year anniversary?  Maybe to the hotel they're staying at (potentially) on their wedding night?

MarcyIam

Or maybe a chef of some sort to come in and cook meals for them their first week back from their honeymoon (or after their wedding if no honeymoon) so they won't have to cook and can just enjoy their time?  I know some that come in, cook a bunch of food and pop it in the fridge/freezer.  Delicious meals they just have to reheat?

This is what I was thinking.

Crotchless panties. Why am I the only one with a dirty suggestion?

I was thinking of something like this also.
