So your friend is tying the knot and you're already thinking about what to get her for the special occasion—whether it's next year or next month. I mean, from the wedding itself to the bridal shower and bachelorette party, there's most likely a lot of gift-giving involved. Usually, bridal showers happen the earliest in the lead-up to the nuptials, so we'll start with bridal shower gifts (first things first, after all). If the bride-to-be has a registry, that's pretty much the easiest thing to reference, but you might want to go in a more creative direction. 'Cause, ya know, it's not really a surprise if everything she receives is something she picked out for herself!

Not sure what to get? Opt for something that will help her start her new life with her partner. Think kitchenware, travel essentials (for the honeymoon, obvi), or some luxe bed sheets. Or, you can pick out something more personal, like an initial necklace or a custom stack of stationery. The goal is simply for the bride to love the gift—and hopefully use it more than just once. That said, here are 65 extremely chic and unique bridal shower gift ideas to browse. For those who accidentally wait to snag a gift until the registry is totally picked over, you have a saving grace (okay, 65 saving graces). Now get to it!
