Last Saturday, I attended my 2nd bridal shower this year. It was for my sorority sister and my name twin. And it was a Honeymoon themed shower. Normally themes help give you ideas for what to give as a gift, but this one turned out to be challenging for me. I like my gifts to be unique and something that I have obviously put my time and thought into.
I spent days mulling over what to give as a gift. There were many ways I could have taken the gift: something straight off the registry, something a little scandalous, or something unexpected. Yeah, I chose the 3rd. But struggled with what that was going to be.
I know that J2 ( that's her nickname in sorority ) and her hubby were planning a trip to Jamaica, but that it wouldnt be right after the wedding. So I kept that in mind as I tossed around gift ideas. At first, I thought about a gift certificate to a restaurant in the Outer Banks where they are getting married and spending a few days after the wedding. But then I worried that my taste in food wouldnt be the same as theirs. Next, I thought about a gift certificate for a couple's massage at one of the spa's down there. Again, I worried that it wouldnt be something they would use or feel comfortable doing. Then it hit me.
I hit 3 places and ended up with this....
an ice bucket, champagne toasting flutes, a bottle of champagne & dark chocolate sauce to dip strawberries in
The finished product....
And I threw in a gift card to Victoria's Secret to finish the gift.
I figured it would be something they could use whenever they wanted. And who doesnt like champagne and chocolate dipped strawberries?
