Gift for a wedding shower?
My SIL-to-be's shower is tomorrow night. She's a little bit conservative, so my standard gift of edible panties and "literature" is out.

Any "nice" ideas?

1. Boxing gloves and a year's supply of Valium
just kidding. I would give her a planter with 10 different herbs already growing in it.

3. Bath towels?
Is she registered anywhere? Hard to go wrong if you get her something she wants.

5. Yeah. At Target.
I can't get there, though. It's out of town and the shower's tomorrow night.

9. Whatever you can grab at the hospital gift shop.
"What? You didn't want a ceramic bear holding a bunch of balloons that say, 'Get Well Soon'? Tough cookies!"

12. Create an experience for the two of them, as a couple:
give them an assortment of romantically-geared items so that they can create their own special night together.

Some ideas:
a very nice aromatherapy candle, (with lavender, ylang/ylang, rose) in a special candle holder
nice bottle of wine or champagne
CD of Brazilian music
fancy boxed chocolate truffles
gift certificates to a local hot tub place, or for a couples' massage, or for a nice dinner somewhere

Have fun! :hi:
