Best Friend Bridal Shower Gifts
1. Letters to the Bride Book
Since the bride is your best friend, you have to make this book for her. It will take the help of others too.
Ask her parents, grandparents, aunts, cousins, siblings, friends, and godparents to write the bride-to-be a letter and then send it to you. It can be about anything – funny stories, advice for the future, a poem, and so on. Also, ask for a few favorite pictures of the bride.
As the letters start coming in, assemble them in a scrapbook. Bada bing, bada boom – the most thoughtful gift ever!
Don’t forget a box of tissues.
2. Digital Picture Frame
She will be obsessed with this digital picture frame. It is so easy to use since she can load pictures to it directly from her phone.
She will love being able to see all the pictures from her shower, bachelorette party, wedding, honeymoon, and more.
Once you see this, you will want one too.
3. Wine Gift Basket
If your bride enjoys drinking wine then take a walk down the wine aisle and pick up a few different bottles.
Pair them with stemless wine glasses and an electric wine bottle opener.
4. Cocktail Shaker
If cocktails are more her speed then you have to get her this cocktail shaker set. This would also make a great gift for her husband-to-be.
Newsflash, not all the bridal shower gifts need to be for the bride!

Your bride will be able to beautifully arrange appetizers on this charcuterie board. It holds so much food and is perfect for when she entertains.

This candle line, found at Walmart, will have her home smelling like a spa in no time.
The frosted glass is so elegant.
Girl, these candles are so great and the scent lasts until the very end of the candle.

You can also get her an oil diffuser.
Girl, I am hooked on those candles I just mentioned but my sister swears by this oil diffuser and her home always smells so good.

After her wedding, your friend will enjoy putting together all the special items from her big day in this shadow box.
11. Ornament
Get the couple a wedding ornament for their Christmas tree. I can guarantee she will smile every single year when she hangs it on the tree.
12. Perfume
Keep your girl smelling her best with a new bottle of her favorite perfume.
If she doesn’t have a favorite yet, you have to check out these 2: Dior – Miss Dior and Valentino – Donna Born in Roma. They are delightful.
13. Pamper Gift Basket
On top of smelling her best, you want her to look her best as well and there are so many items to help with that.
Here are just a few rockstar products you can include: sugar body scrub, lotion, shower steamers, bath bombs, and nail polish.

Also, include a wedding day emergency kit. Girl, someone will need something from this so don’t forget it.
15. Personalized Stationery
I have to be honest, I am not much of a personalized anything sort of girl but this stationery, THIS STATIONERY, is so wonderful.
Gift her personalized stationery with her married name on it is so unique and she will be thrilled to use it.
You can pick from a variety of colors including matching her wedding colors.
Toss in a custom address stamp and elegant pens and this gift is complete.
16. Anniversary Journal
She will have the best time filling out this anniversary journal.
I wish I had this when we got married. 4 kids and 15 years later, anniversary celebrations with my hubby get a little foggy.
17. Cooking Gift Basket
Let’s jump into gift baskets. A cooking gift basket is a great place to start.
Get Pyrex mixing bowls and add items such as seasonings, sauces, infused oils, potholders, and a cookbook. This list could go on and on.
18. Pasta Gift Basket
My best friend gave me a pasta gift basket for my wedding and I still use some of the items like the colander, pasta pot, and pasta spoon.
You can also include pasta noodles, Spaghetti sauce, and Alfredo sauce.
19. Slow Cooker Gift Basket
A slow cooker is a must-have for every kitchen.
This is a phenomenal slow cooker, along with this slow cooker cookbook, slow cooker liners (so amazing!!!), and seasonings.
20. Baking Gift Basket
Now friend, if you want to go big (and I mean big) start this baking gift basket off with a Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer. This gift might be best if a group went in on it together.
There are so many baking items you can include: baking pans, muffin tins, pot holders, a whisk, spatulas, measuring cups and spoons, cookie and cake mix, sprinkles, and more.
We (all the bridesmaids) did this gift for one of my best friends and she still uses all these items.

Here is another gift that can be small or you can go all out with.
To start, get some of their favorite coffee (of course), coffee cups, Yeti Tumblers, and a coffee syrup variety pack.
Then if you want to take it to the next level, include a French Press or even an Espresso Machine.
22. Movie Night Gift Basket
If you don’t know what your best friend and her fiancé's favorite movie snacks are – ask her.
Also add in some popcorn, popcorn seasoning, and cookies.
To top it off, get her this cozy blanket. They will love snuggling under it.
I did this for one of my sisters and she said it was one of her favorite gifts because she got to relax with her fiancé.
23. Gift Cards
Don’t underestimate the importance of gift cards. Get her a gift card to get her nails, makeup, and hair done for her big day. You can also get her a gift card for a massage.
If you are feeling extra saucy, you can get her a gift card to Victoria’s Secret. This one works great as a bachelorette party gift too.
