Holiday Gifts for the Bride
No Wedding Gifts Allowed!
It’s that time of year, the holidays! Keep reading for a list of gift ideas for the future bride in your life. These aren’t early wedding gifts, but presents that will help support her or take her mind off wedding planning all together. This holiday season, celebrate her, not the wedding to-do list.
Take Care
A Spa Day - Who doesn’t need a spa day? Help her stay stress free with a massage gift card or spa day pass.
Treat her to a Mani Pedi - Not only will this help keep her nails and hands looking great, but a mani can be so relaxing, it’s all about that hand massage!
Facial - It’s a general rule of thumb that you should not get a facial right before the wedding. But in the months leading up the wedding a regular facial will keep the skin glowing and ready for makeup.
For a cozy home gift consider a guided reflection/journaling book or an at-home spa kit.
For the One Who’s Got It All Together
A ring cleaner - A ultrasonic jewelry cleaner is a great gadget, or stick to the basics with a ring cleaning kit. This is a great gift that will get lots of use, not just for the rings, but all of her jewelry.
Jewelry Storage - Help keep her jewelry safe and sound with a proper jewelry box. And if she already has one, a ring bowl or holder is super useful in areas like the kitchen and night stand.
Portable Phone Charger - It may seem random, but with all the holiday errands, wedding to-dos, and upcoming travel, keeping the phone charged is a lifesaver. I’m always surprised how many people don’t own one, mine gets lots of use.
For the Bookish Bride!
A Coffee Table Book - A great coffee table book is such a thoughtful, personal gift. Skip the wedding planning books and choose something that reflects her style, her interests, or even the wedding theme. It’s a subtle way to say, “I see you.”
Reading Accessories - Make reading even more enjoyable with some book friendly goodies. A reading light, bookmarks (maybe customize it), a throw, a book valet, or a readying pillow.
Kindle Lover - A page turning remote paired with a kindle holder is the ultimate in reading luxury. Imagine turing the page without having to leave a cozy blanket all winter long.
Eat, Drink, and Be Merry!
Cocktails - It’s never too early to test a signature cocktail. Make “research” fun with a cocktail kit paired with a recipe book, or a local cocktail/mocktail class gift card is a great night out with friends or fiancé.
Distract - How about something to take the mind of planning for a bit. Maybe tickets to a musical coming to town, a paint night, or a gift card to her favorite restaurant.
This holiday season, remember gifts for the bride should be about her, not her task list. There will be many events that are all about the wedding and planning, a gift that sees her as a whole person is truly meaningful. Happy holidays!
