As the big day draws near, the bride-to-be will be turning her thoughts to her bridal shower party and will be thinking about saying thanks to her guests for showering her with gifts and attention by sending them home at the end of the party with unique bridal shower favors.

Your maid or matron of honor will no doubt have put in weeks of planning to make sure that your special celebration goes perfectly.

Whether you and your girlfriends are planning to spend the weekend at a spa being pampered, or are looking forward to a night on the town, your closest friends will have put lots of time and effort into your send-off. In return for all the love and treasured treats you’ll receive from your work colleagues, girlfriends and family at your bridal shower, you will want to treat them back with unusual and entertaining little tokens of appreciation.

With so many ideas around, you’ll need a little help in choosing the right gift for the right person. Aunt Mabel will surely delight in the Love is Brewing Teapot timer, while your manager will enjoy using the Heart Calla Lily pen, thinking of you when she puts open to paper. Your best friend will adore the miniature purse bottle stoppers, while your youngest bridesmaid will take great delight in the Pink Polka Purse manicure set. If you’re going away somewhere for the night, your girlfriends will appreciate the gorgeous monogrammed cosmetic travel bag and jewelry pouch. If you’re off for dinner and drinks, why not treat your friends to a pretty mirror compact for their purse, or if you’re staying home, how about some fun Poker Wine charms for your wine glasses?

Girls love candles and candle favors are a great way to say thanks. Unique bridal shower favors include pretty keepsakes such as the Lavender Gel, Wedding Gown and Martini Glass candle sets which are bound to be winners. And for those who love soaking in the tub, what better way to relax than by adding a few Pink Rose soap petals to the water? Or how about sprinkling in a handful of Sunny Daisy Bath confetti or taking the plunge with Perfect Heart Scented Rose soaps with a dainty silver charm? Kitchen accessory favors are a fabulous and highly original gift for the girl who loves cooking! Choose from melon ballers, peelers, The Gratest of Love mini cheese grater, A Slice of Love pizza cutter, Heart-y Beginnings egg and pancake mold, ice cream scoops, measuring spoons, Whisked Away heart whisk, cake servers, cookie cutters, spreaders and much much more. All come with a special love theme or message to add a little love to the pot!
