Not mom related. But what gifts ideas do you guys have or have done for a bride? I’m in my friends wedding this October. And I’m not sure what to get her. I know what to get as a wedding gift for the happy couple. But as a bridesmaid to the bride I want to get her something. Little about her they are a young couple who just bought a house. No kids. She is not a girly type of person. So make up and stuff like that is not for her. She is kinda into comics and horror movies. Any idea is welcome. Thanks guys!
I agree with the personalization gift. When my daughter’s bestie got married ( they were friends since 4th grade ) I filled a nice glass jar ( could also go with a vase) with gummy bears. Her favorite candy
Get something that will remind of something fun you 2 did together…good luck
Nightmare before Christmas holiday decorations… start a collection for her
Gift card to a food place.
Get her a gift certificate for a massage! They’re expensive and it’s something people don’t normally get for themselves. Or do something awesome and make her a bunch of freezer meals, it will make her life easier. Hire her a maid and while she’s cleaning take her out for lunch and shopping for a new outfit.
I got my best friend some lingerie and panties from Victoria’s Secret.
Etsy has a lot of personalized things that can be hung on the wall, like their last name and year
That would be a best friend gift from you to her. Maybe a comic book of fun times pre-wedding? Something to display on a shelf or wall. Something that celebrates who she is to you, or you are to each other, or just who she is stand alone outside friendship or marriage.
I agree with the massage thing, nobody is ever mad about one of those. I’m not sure what your budget is but something unique she’d probably love is a horror/comic themed photoshoot with a local photographer.
How about a murder mystery dinner certificate. Several different gift cards for various things…movies, groceries, clothing, spa day, etc etc.
Get her something sexy to wear
Make a personalized basket. Maybe a movie theater affinity card, comics, microwave popcorn bags, reusable water bottles, movie theater-type candy, that sort of thing.
My go to gift is a “day of” bag that can be used as a travel kit later.
Get a nice, decent sized makeup/travel bag. You can even order a personalized bag. Fill it with safety pins, small sewing kit, tide pen, facial oil towels, tylenol/advil, small first aid kit (bandaids for blisters), Bobby pins, travel comb or brush, airplane bottles of alcohol, etc. Anything you can think of for if something goes wrong and you might need it on wedding day when you’re already stressed about a million other things and not thinking about the small things. Like I said, can then be used for the honeymoon or other travel afterwards.
I always get lots of compliments on it.
Do something like a gift basket but put things in it that resemble her as a person.
A self care basket. I recently had a woman (also not super girly and into horror) tell me that was her favorite gift. It can be full of face masks, body scrubs, candles, bath/ shower bombs, maybe a nice blanket or robe to go with it. You can add a gift certificate for a pedicure or a massage if you want to go that extra mile.
Edit to add: you can probably find horror themed items for all of this btw. I know I’ve seen horror bath bombs and candles for sure. Blankets as well! Could be a fun themed basket.
Get a story of your friendship made into a comic book?
Something they both can use a good bottle of wine or cash
I’m at my last resort rn. I’m worried sick. I’ve been homeless a couple weeks now and been staying at a motel with my 3 kids 9 yr, 6yr & 2/12 yr old. We have to check out at 11am if I can’t come up with $70 and I have literally messaged and asked everyone I know. I even went to groups that supposedly help and it’s all been scams. I’m begging for someone to please help me. This is 100% true and not a scam. I can answer any and all questions if anyone wants to message me. We have no where to go tomorrow if we have to leave here. I have cash app and Venmo please someone helps us please
Get a custom picture of her and her husband done in comic book style?!?
