Bridal showers are a ti­me to pamper the bride, and it is always a kind gesture to bring the bride-to-be a bridal shower gift. While it is nice to give the bride a gift that will be useful in her new marriage such as a blender or other appliance, why not take some time to get her a unique bridal shower gift? It is better to give her a gift that is more personal and special to her as a person rather that something that will remind her of her new wifely duties. Here are some bridal shower gift ideas that are original, thoughtful, and also sentimental.

☆ Flower Vase: This is a perfect addition to decorate a new home while at the same time reminding the groom to always bring his bride flowers!

☆ Cookbook: Every new bride is going to have to learn to cook for two, so a cookbook is the perfect bridal shower gift.

☆ Photo Mat and Frame: It is a great idea to put a picture of the bride and groom in a frame with an over-sized mat. This leaves room for all of the guests to sign their names and also makes a great keepsake from this happy time.

☆ Personalized Pillow: Have a photo of the bride and groom printed on a decorative pillow. You may also choose to have their names and wedding date embroidered on it as well.

☆ Toasting Glasses: Every newlywed couple does the traditional toast at their wedding reception. Why not give them a nice pair of glasses?

☆ Gift Card: A gift card to a nice restaurant or store where the bride loves to shop is a great bridal shower gift idea that allows the bride to pick out exactly what she wants.

☆ Personalized Stationary Set: The bride will love a nice stationary set that has her initials or full name on it!

☆ Gift Baskets: A bridal shower gift basket is a good bridal shower gift idea that is very thoughtful and something the bride will really appreciate. Here are some cute ideas for creating a bridal shower gift basket.
