Hi Moms,
I am invited to a bridal shower for a family member of my ex-husbands he is deceased. This family member and her mom buy presents for my son(her cousin) and my young daughter. I haven't figured out why but they come to all her birthday parties and shower her with gifts. i want to go and get something but not have it be too personal but nice. Financially she is better off then me and money is no probelm in her own words.
I have no clue what to get please help. Thanks in advance H.

What can I do next?

I think a nice, and different type of gift, that's not expensive but is still thoughtful, would be a nice Christmas ornament (assuming they celebrate Christmas). You could even have it engraved with their wedding date and names.

Definitely go with a registry item. If no registry, I like the Christmas Ornament Idea. We really liked some that we received for our wedding with our names on them, and then when we had our daughter, we were able to order one for her.

Check her bridal registry. That's why it's there. :)

My go to wedding gift when there isn't a registry is 3 bottles of wine marked with 3 anniversaries plus some accessories to fill out the basket. I think I originally saw the idea on the Today Show years ago and it was supposed to be 1 yr, 5 yrs, & 10 years. But we tend to make it Wedding Night (Champagne), 1 yr (white) & 5 yr (red). We either do local or something that has been recommended by a friend that's in our price range. Mix it up & make it work for your budget.

Good Luck!

I always do crystal votives and scented candles. We have a Mikasa store her at our outlet store so the prices are pretty good and it looks like I spent a lot.

Not to hurt anyone's feelings, but please do not purchase a frame or photo.

I have assisted so many people with writing down their shower and wedding gifts, frames and Photo Albums are given by the dozen.. At my own father and step mothers wedding, they were given soo many it became a joke, 13.... 14.... 15....

Please consider purchasing something from their actual registry. These are the things they REALLY want.

If you cannot afford anything on the registry consider something personalized like a Monogrammed entry mat, Personalized Bar items, Blankets, etc.. I love shopping on this website.

What about a nice picture album for her new wedding pics? Or a spa package at a day spa? Mani/pedi or massages? I am not sure your price range--but those would be lovely.

Here is a website that I love. It helps to get my brain thinking about gifts. You can punch in who it is for, occasion, age, price range and so on.

Find out where she is registered, then browse the list to see if any items spark your interest. You can then search for the item online for a perhaps lesser price. When you find a site with the same item for less you can do a google search with the term "free coupon code for abc site" and enter in on the checkout page. The discounts range anywhere from 10% to 30% off or a flat $ amount if you spend $25 or more etc.. and even free shipping on a lot of them.

If you know what scent she likes, you could get her a lotion/perfume set. Otherwise a gift card for where she gets her hair cut or nails done.
