• Spa
Pampering Shower
The couple receives matching
robes from the host or hostess and guests bring all
the necessary items for an in-home spa pampering.
Think fluffy towel sets, sea salt, bubble bath, candles,
lotion etc. The group could even pitch in to send
the couple to a favorite spa for his-and-her massages.
• Garden or Backyard
Barbeque Shower
Guests shower the couple with all the essential items
to help them enjoy their backyard. Gift ideas include
BBQ tools and spices, patio furniture, gardening/landscaping
supplies,
gift certificates to home improvement/gardening stores,
live plants, rose bushes, etc. This is perfect
for a couple who is already well stocked with the
typical gifts of dishes and linens. Also great for
those moving from an apartment to a house!
• Stock
the Bar Shower
Everyone is
assigned a different kind of liquor,
like vodka, brandy or tequila. As gifts,
guests
not only bring their assigned liquor,
but the appropriate glasses to serve them
in.
Guests can also bring bar ware, like
corkscrews, funky coasters and chip ‘n
dip servers.
• Electronics
Shower
Most newlyweds would like
to upgrade the TV or stereo equipment
that’s
gotten them through their college years.
An electronics shower
is idea for the techno-couple
that lusts after the latest DVD player
or video camera on the market. Pick
one big-ticket item, like a CD
player, and have other guests bring
stacks of discs to stock
their music library.
• Bon
Voyage Shower
Guests shower the couple
with all the essential items for enjoying their honeymoon,
from disposable cameras to maps to luggage. If the
trip’s location has already been determined,
restaurant gift certificates are a fun treat.
