Couples shower gift ideas are limited only by "their" imagination. They probably have a set style, and may have registered their wishes at some local stores. Go over the list to get familiar with their choices. This should help you select a gift that you're happy with, and fits your budget.
The invitation may ask you to bring a gift that goes along with the bridal shower theme. In this case, still choose an appropriate gift based on the couples likes, and your price range. Even if it isn't stated, choosing a gift related to the theme might help you narrow down your choices.
Sometimes, it's easier to categorize the couples shower gift ideas. This will help you narrow down your options to a specific area. So, let's take a look at some of your choices:
• Necessities: If they are young and just starting out, many basics will be needed and appreciated. These include items like a toaster, blender, iron, crock pot, mixing bowls, and cooking pans. They may also have selected a pattern for everyday dishes, or silverware.
• Paper supplies can include napkins, facial tissues, paper towels, and toilet paper. A supply of decorative paper plates, cups, and napkins will also come in handy. These aren't extravagant, but they will be used.
• Gift certificates can be a great choice. It will give you a chance to cater to their specific needs or hobbies. So, give it some thought and get creative! Some people don't like to give just a gift certificate. If this is you, put it in a usable container and add a small gift related to the certificate.
• Romantic: a spa service is always appreciated. A spa weekend could be given by more than one person. A personal gift basket filled with soaps, lotions, and candles looks impressive and will be used. Dinner at an upscale restaurant could be their favorite or one they always wanted to try. A day cruise, within a reasonable distance from their location, could be a great experience. All fit this couple shower gift idea category.
• Linens: Tablecloths, towels, sheets, pillow cases, blankets are basics but don't need to be boring. You can never have enough of these items. In fact, duplicates are often welcome. In a luxurious material, they are an elegant choice.
• Outdoor Items can include a grill, a cooler, a portable ice machine, and picnic blanket. A set of chairs and table with umbrella is a good gift for several people to go in on. Colorful outdoor pillows can be a fun choice. Wind chimes, planters, outdoor games, and a picnic basket are other options.
• Give a Personalized Gift by adding initials, embroidery, engraving, or monograms to your selection. Some items might also be hand painted.
Get creative
• A custom designer stamp is a personal and practical gift. Choose the couples name and address, initial, or monogram. You might purchase one for each.
• An instructional dance video, with a variety of steps, may be just the right idea to prepare them for their special day. Modern dance, ballroom, Latin, jazz, and country are some of the choices available. Dance lessons at a local studio is also an option.
• "How To" books or software: There are many "How To" software programs available.
Choose one that goes along with their interests. It is sure to be appreciated, and used often. Some people still prefer a physical book that they can refer to and make notations. You will probably have an idea of their choice.
• Themed: you can choose a gift that both will enjoy, and use together. It is also okay to buy separate gifts, if necessary. For instance, if it's a sports-themed shower, he may like playing golf and she may be into tennis. Choose accordingly.
• Cooking classes: These will be appreciated, especially if they are both just learning to cook. You'll also find different types of cuisine classes offered, and those geared just toward appetizers, entrees, or dessert.
• A pass to an Outdoor adventure like a local hiking trail, nature park, or zoo. You could add a journal to track future adventures.
• Tickets to a Winery tour or tasting, can be both fun and educational.
• A gardening tool set, seeds and plants, potting bench, or a garden bench are some of the ideas for the couple who either loves to garden or wants to learn. Many are trying to grow their own fruits, vegetables, and herbs, even if only on a small scale.
