Are you searching for the perfect bridal shower gift this season? Before the big days of friends and family members comes a flurry of brunches, teas, and afternoons filled with celebrating the bride-to-be. While every event may be different, you do need a shower gift. Not to worry, we have the perfect formula to help you bring the best shower gift for each of your friends!

Something Nostalgic + Something Helpful + Something Beautiful = The Perfect Shower Gift

Something Nostalgic
The first component of your gift should be something that will remind the bride of your friendship or her new relationship. If she met her fiancé in Spain, a tapas cookbook or a gift card to a Spanish restaurant would be perfect! If the two of you spent hours at a particular shop or spa, a goodie from that establishment is a great way to remind her of all of the good times you have had as friends.

Something Helpful
If you’re already married you have amassed married knowledge your friend needs. Think of something that was difficult for you as a newlywed or something you wish someone had given you. A MissNowMrs gift card is a perfect component for your perfect shower gift. It saves the bride 13 hours of hassle on her name change! Instead of standing in long office lines and stressing about what form to file when and where, she’ll breeze through the process in 30 minutes! You will absolutely receive a thank you note for this gift!

Something Beautiful
Weddings are filled with beauty, so of course wedding shower gifts should have a beautiful component. This can range from a mini perfume with floral notes for her wedding day, to gorgeous wrapping paper in her wedding colors, to your favorite bridal beauty item. Again, think of your friend. If she isn’t into super fussy things, skip the lace and give her elegant stationary or an engraved business card holder in her new name.

We hope this formula helps you create perfect personalized bridal shower gifts for the amazing women in your life. Enjoy this season of love!

A bow tie is a bow tie right? Usually…unless it’s a Brackish bow tie. Then it’s a work of art, a piece of natural beauty, and part of an entrepreneurial story that began with a wedding.

As my own entrepreneurial journey was sparked by my wedding (well the name-change nightmare right afterwards) I had to share this amazing company with you, right in time for the holiday giving season.

Ben Ross was the groom who wouldn’t settle for a traditional groomsmen gift. He wanted something special and couldn’t find just the right gifts, so he made them. Literally…he handmade turkey feather bow ties for the guys who stood up with him at his wedding. They were gorgeous and unique.

Five years later, Ben and one of those groomsmen started Brackish and now make a line of hand-crafted feather bow ties. The operation has expanded to 50 artisans in South Carolina and the collection is stunning. So, if the man in your life wears bow ties (or you think he needs a statement piece for your wedding or work), I highly recommend a bow tie from Brackish.

Happy shopping nearlyweds and newlyweds!
