I did that for a friend that had no registry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridal-shower-gift#post-1773713 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 09:39:36 +0000 psw27 1773713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is interesting to have a shower but not make a small registry for that. Maybe just get her a gift card to Macy's or another department store - that way she can get whatever she wants (whether it be household stuff or new clothes for her honeymoon!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridal-shower-gift#post-1773710 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 09:39:19 +0000 lawbee11 1773710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No boxed gifts?? Yikes. I love me some cash, but I'd never put that on an invite. </p> <p>Maybe a gift card to Crate and Barrel?</p> <p>ETA: What about this KS bangle?<br /> <a href="http://www.katespade.com/I-do-idiom-charm-bangle/WBRU7321,en_US,pd.html?dwvar_WBRU7321_color=040&#038;cgid=ks-jewelry-bracelets#start=37&#038;cgid=ks-jewelry-bracelets" rel="nofollow">http://www.katespade.com/I-do-idiom-charm-bangle/WBRU7321,en_US,pd.html?dwvar_WBRU7321_color=040&#038;cgid=ks-jewelry-bracelets#start=37&#038;cgid=ks-jewelry-bracelets</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridal-shower-gift#post-1773707 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 09:38:44 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1773707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a couple go-to bridal shower gifts if the registry doesnt have anything in my price range or whatever. One is the here comes the bride set from philosophy and one is the "mrs" necklace from exhalation on etsy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridal-shower-gift#post-1773704 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 09:38:22 +0000 regberadaisy 1773704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hm. That's hard. Are they moving in together? Is there anything frivolous you know she wants for the wedding but probably won't spend the $$ on? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridal-shower-gift#post-1773695 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 09:36:06 +0000 autumnlove 1773695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend is getting married in September and her wedding invite says "we kindly request no boxed gifts" so I know they want cash as a wedding gift. </p> <p>Her bridal shower is next month and she has no registry. :P She is very shy so I don't think she would like lingerie. I guess I could give her cash/gift card but that seems kinda boring as a shower gift? I usually buy a small houseware item (off a registry) or lingerie for other friends. </p> <p>What do you usually give your friends at their bridal showers? </p>
