I was mortified when my mom bought me some lingerie. Thanks but no thanks, mom! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-help-with-bridal-shower-gift#post-1791075 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 09:23:18 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1791075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@alohaorchid: I would not want lingerie, books or sex toys from a family member. </p> <p>Can you imagine putting it on? Or using it? "Oh, you like this? It's from your sister..."</p> <p>Gross. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-help-with-bridal-shower-gift#post-1791016 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 08:59:42 +0000 swurlygurl 1791016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My Aunts made me a kitchen themed basket, and my favorite item in there was the 'Chicken Bible'. It tells you everything you need to know about chickens - how to clean them, cut them, cook them each way, etc. It's more than a cookbook - more like an instruction book about chicken.<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Chicken-Poultry-Bible-Christian-Teubner/dp/0785819088" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Chicken-Poultry-Bible-Christian-Teubner/dp/0785819088</a></p> <p>IDK if that'd fit somehow? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-help-with-bridal-shower-gift#post-1791005 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 08:57:24 +0000 alohaorchid 1791005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: This is another great idea, thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-help-with-bridal-shower-gift#post-1791001 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 08:56:46 +0000 alohaorchid 1791001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: I love both of these ideas!! I think we will use both of them... a candle for when they need to relax/feel zen/get freaky/whatever, gift card to a restaurant. Awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-help-with-bridal-shower-gift#post-1790999 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 08:56:19 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1790999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One direction: Lingerie, toys, and sex book (The Joys of Sex for instance</p> <p>another direction: date night focus- Netflix, pop corn, favorite candy or GC to nearby movie theatre, tickets to other things around town or lessons they can do together- cooking, dancing, pottery. Since these may little slips of papers or gift cards you can put them in pretty boxes like jewelry size and tie them together like a tower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-help-with-bridal-shower-gift#post-1790984 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 08:52:49 +0000 swedishfish 1790984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, what about a restaurant gift card for when dinner gets burned? I totally would've appreciated that. Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-help-with-bridal-shower-gift#post-1790981 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 08:51:24 +0000 swedishfish 1790981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My aunt made me a basket full of different color candles with a poem that explained when to burn them. It was cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-help-with-bridal-shower-gift#post-1790973 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 08:50:02 +0000 alohaorchid 1790973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister and I are trying to put a gift basket together for our soon to be sister in law for her bridal shower. We want it to be a mix of things she will need to survive the first year of being married, and we’re throwing some family related things in there too. But, other than a couple of inside jokes we have NO idea what to put in it. We're thinking things like hot sauce to spice things up, and wine for first fight, etc.</p> <p>Any suggestions?! </p>
