Mr. & Mrs. Cheese Plate
While many themed bridal shower gifts are cute, they’re not always the most practical. Luckily, this Mud Pie cheese plate will do more than collect dust. “My husband and I made a lot of charcuterie boards when we were first married, so this got a lot of use,” says Emily Racette Parulski, Senior Editor. “The cute Mr. and Mrs. design made it feel extra-special.”
Meal Delivery Service
In the midst of wedding planning, any bride will appreciate a shortcut. Which is why a meal prep service—like Martha Stewart’s Marley Spoon—is one of the smartest bridal shower gifts you can give. Each box is packed with the ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions for prepping gourmet meals. And with over 45 dishes to choose from each week, the happy couple is sure to find something that pleases their palate.
Happily Ever After Cake Server
For the bride who’s planning a fairytale wedding, this Disney-inspired cake server from Etsy is a must. She can use it to cut the cake with her very own Prince Charming.
Bridal Shower Card
If you’re gifting cash, help it stand out with a delightful bridal shower card. This one from Quilling Cards includes a darling lovebird design. And the intricate paper details make this card worthy of a frame.
Monogram Coasters
Coasters are such a practical gift, they don’t often end up on registries. But these beautiful personalized coasters, emblazoned with the couple’s details, are sure to garner a smile. Plus, the white marble hue will remind the bride of her wedding day every time she sets down a drink. Pick up a set of four on Etsy.
Flower Subscription
A monthly flower subscription? Sign us up! This bridal shower gift from Bloomsy Box sends over an original, deluxe or premium bouquet so she can count down the days until her wedding in style.
Card Keeper
For a gift that’s pretty and practical, consider this golden card keeper from Hallmark. It’s an elegant addition to the couple’s welcome table. And after the big day? The couple can use it to store wedding mementos, save money for a vacation or as a tabletop terrarium.
Dutch Oven
Every home needs a Dutch oven. And this 6.5-quart ceramic version from Caraway Cookware is a real stunner. We love the elegant cream color and extra-large capacity.
Ring Box
Bridal shower gifts don’t have to break the bank. And when the bride isn’t showing off her new bling, she’ll want to keep it safe in this Etsy velvet ring box. Choose from a variety of dreamy colors—like Baby Blue, Blush Champagne or Dusty Lavender—and add a monogram, too, if desired.
Recipe Binder
A new family means new recipes. Help the bride keep track of her favorites with Etsy’s custom ring binder. We love the floral wreath cover design and the ability to order pre-punched binder inserts.
Picnic Set
A pre-wedding picnic is perfect for couples craving some alone time. And this classic woven set from Pottery Barn has everything they need for a romantic date.
Birth Month Flower Robe
The bride will want a cozy outfit to hang out in when she’s getting her hair and makeup done. And this birth month flower robe from Uncommon Goods is the ideal blend of pretty and personalized.
Bar Tools
Top off the bride’s bar cart with this sophisticated bar tools set. Available from Pottery Barn in gold or bronze, this 5-piece set includes jigger cups, a strainer, spoon, bottle opener and holder. Cheers! We love giving this as a groomsmen gift, too.
Bundt Pan Set
Many couples already have kitchen basics by the time they walk down the aisle. But you can still gift them some fun, specialty tools—like this Nordic Ware Bundt pan set. We love that it includes both an iconic Heritage pan and a jaw-dropping Anniversary pan.
Bride & Groom Caramel Apples
Good luck finding a more stunning gift. These gourmet caramel apples are hand-dipped in Belgian chocolate, then decorated to mimic a wedding dress and tux. And, looks aside, trust us when we say treats from Amy’s Gourmet Apples are the best you’ll ever eat.
Marble Rolling Pin
On paper, a rolling pin doesn’t sound like an exciting gift. But in practice, this marble beauty from Sur la Table is a welcome addition to any kitchen. “Many couples have the basics on their registries, but why not gift an upgrade of a must-have product?” says Kaminski. “Working with this marble rolling pin is a real dream and bakers will appreciate this extra-special effort.”
Monogram Duffle Bag
While many couples register for luggage sets, the bride will appreciate having this monogrammed Etsy duffle bag to call her own. Available in over a dozen colors and with 10+ monogram options, it’s the perfect size for last-minute weekend getaways. (Or stashing a change of clothes for the wedding reception.)
Custom Map Art
We love personalized bridal shower gifts. And if the couple has a unique how-we-met story or has been in a long-distance relationship, this “Map of Our Hearts” art from Uncommon Goods is a beautiful way to commemorate their union. Customize this gift with a specific map style, names and a date.

Another kitchen staple, this Le Creuset tea kettle is a dazzling addition to the couple’s stovetop. Go for a classic white or cream, or choose from a myriad of other hues for the perfect bridal shower gift.
