  The maid of honor, bridesmaids, family and sometimes friends, throw bridal showers. The showers are usually only for women, though coed showers with the bride and groom are also an option. Usually the bride and groom register for gifts from different stores, but you also have the option of bringing something more uncommon. Instead of buying another vacuum cleaner, toaster or sheets, bring her an uncommon bridal shower gift.
  
  

Personalized Photo Gifts

• Purchase or make a personalized photo for the bride that includes her future husband. Most photo stores offer simple gifts, including coffee mugs, T-shirts and mouse pads. Another idea is a blanket, which features different photos of the couple on the front. For a bridal shower, consider purchasing a gift certificate for the blanket. After the wedding, the bride takes in her photos and the shop custom prints the photos onto the blanket, making a one-of-a-kind item. If you live near a beach, draw the names of the couple in the sand, with a heart around it. Take a photo of the names in either black and white or color and frame the finished print.
  
  

Relaxation Set

• Make a sensual body kit that includes everything the bride needs to relax and unwind from the stress of planning a wedding. Gift her a kit that lets her pamper herself: Include lotions, scented candles, room sprays and even linen sprays in chamomile and other soothing scents. Add bubble bath, bath oil, sponges and an eye mask so she can pamper herself in a warm bath.
  
  

Late Night for Two

• Offer her an uncommon gift that’s also for her future husband. Craft a late-night-for-two gift that includes everything the couple needs to enjoy each other after the wedding. Start with lingerie--the racier the better--and then include other racy items. Look for edible body paint, which typically comes with a brush so the couple can paint it on themselves. A champagne bucket with a bottle of champagne or sparkling wine and two glasses is another good choice. Add a sexy game for two, such as a dice game where each roll determines what the couple must do or a racy version of truth or dare. You can even add a bottle of massage oil, which lets the couple help each other unwind while planning the wedding.
