I’ve always loved putting together gift baskets.
There’s something so satisfying about curating items around a theme and watching everything come together.
When my cousin got engaged, I wanted to give her something personal and fun…but also practical.
So I created a themed basket instead of a single gift, and it was a huge hit.
Ever since then, I’ve been hooked on bridal shower gift baskets—they’re creative, customizable, and full of surprises.
1. Spa Day at Home Basket
This one’s all about relaxation.
Fill a basket with bath bombs, sheet masks, a soft robe, essential oils, and maybe even a mini bottle of bubbly.
Choose soothing scents like lavender or eucalyptus for a calming vibe.
Add a handwritten tag that says “For when wedding planning gets a little too real.”
2. Coffee Lover’s Basket
Perfect for the bride who runs on caffeine.

You can even include a French press or milk frother if you want to go all out.
Wrap it all in a rustic basket with coffee-scented candles for a cozy touch.
3. Breakfast in Bed Basket
This one feels like a warm hug.
