4. Cookbook
[amazon box=”1452166714″ description=” ” rating=”4.8″]
Help her supplement and spice up her date nights with a few new recipes! We’ve linked one that is marriage-themed, but really most great cookbooks will work in this case. It can even be placed as a kitchen decoration when the bride’s not using it. We recommend choosing one that is dinner-specific to ensure that the focus stays on celebrating, rather than maybe sporting a new cooking hobby. But hey! Anything works!
Sample Customer Review…I love this cookbook, let me count the ways!
1. All the recipes are incredibly easy. They are written to be cooked by newer newlywed home cooks.
2. All the recipes have a low number of ingredients.
3. I love the concept of the book itself. I have been married for a while but this is the first time I have been able to get my husband in the kitchen!
4. This book is stunning. You will pull out your book presentation stand for this one, it’s a great conversation piece and beautiful decoration for your kitchen!

Not only will it help the bride and her entourage with any issues along the way, but the bag is also absolutely adorable and the perfect accessory for the bride’s purse.
Sample Customer Review…I loved this set! I used them the day of my wedding and they held everything I needed. I used the Bride Bag for my touchup makeup and the Emergency Bag for fashion tape, safety pins, Bobby pins, Excedrin, etc. which came in handy! Best of all, they’re super cute and durable.

Sample Customer Review…Very nice slippers! They are well made, soft, and comfy. They fit my 7.5 feet perfectly. However, if you have size 8, I would order a size up since when I ordered size 7-8, my 7.5 feet just completely fit the slippers.

I got it for our destination wedding weekend since we would be in and out of hotel rooms, running errands, and entertaining, so I needed a bag to carry all of my things – including my very heavy 15in laptop I never go anywhere without. This cute tote carried it all and a whole lot more! The canvas material was lighter weight than I was expecting, but it held up perfectly all weekend! Also, the sparkly bride lettering made it so easy for my bridesmaids or anyone to spot and grab for me!

13. Custom Stamp
[amazon box=”B08F27221C” description=” ” rating=”4.7″]
Not only is this a super cute gift for the bride to use, but it will be very helpful after the wedding for thank you notes and future mail being sent out. Not only will they help speed up the mailing process for the bride, but they are a cute design for mail to announce a marriage!
Sample Customer Review…We use this stamp with a gel-type stamp pad and it works great and leaves a lasting impression (pardon the pun). It is a great size for stamping return addresses on #10 envelopes (standard business). The stamp came promptly, well packaged, and exactly as ordered. There is a brass button on one side of the handle to show correct alignment. I really like this stamp. We ordered two and have used one with a cloth-style stamp pad with good, clean results.

Sample Customer Review…Bought this for my sister because she loves having little bags for her makeup and other things to keep in her bag or suitcase or car. The bag is a nice canvas material and seems pretty durable. The zipper is a nice one, doesn’t seem like a cheaply made one. She loves using it and it’s a cute design.

15. Pet Lover’s Bandana
[amazon box=”B07T9MT2Z7″ description=” ” rating=”4.7″]
Got any pet lovers? This bandana is the perfect way for their furry friend to enjoy the special day that is ahead of them! There’s no better gift than a gift that allows for one of the couple’s furry friends to be included in the wedding festivities.
Sample Customer Review…I got this for my pup after me and my fiancé got engaged and it’s adorable! It is absolutely more for “show” rather than for warmth and comfort for your pup, so do not get this thinking it’s going to provide any sort of warmth, etc. it’s not sheer at all and the letters look of good quality. I love it!

16. Personalized Cutting Boards
[amazon box=”B01313ZQ7E” description=” ” rating=”4.7″]
A cute new way to show off a bride’s new last name is the perfect gift! These boards can be engraved with the special date of the happy couple’s wedding which makes it an even more thoughtful gift. This gift is perfect for brides from their maid of honor- especially if they love charcuterie!
Sample Customer Review…This is a beautiful cutting board. It’s a great gift idea for anyone who doesn’t like to see their name “in lights”? All kidding aside, the website was very easy to use, at first, I thought it might be tricky because the name I was using is hyphenated. But nope, it fits easily and there really is no limit on what you put to personalize it. They offer many designs from more simple to more frilly which I liked. It’s just beautiful. It also arrived quickly! Highly recommend. From great product to great customer service and great website.

17. Essential Oils Diffuser
[amazon box=”B085M11L9B” description=” ” rating=”4.6″]
Oil Diffusers are absolutely essential for relaxation, which is something a very stressed bride would appreciate. Lowering stress is very important before the wedding so the bride can enjoy it to the fullest extent, so why not give her the gift of relaxation? This gift can be paired with a set of essential oils of her favorite scents.
Sample Customer Review…I got this diffuser a couple of days ago and I was in love. It is small but powerful. The wood grain is complementary to any decor and the thread of light that wraps around is very beautiful. I’ve never used a diffuser before and have read that the scent of essential oils doesn’t always spread throughout the room. I have to say that this was not an issue with this diffuser. Within 10 seconds of turning it on, I could smell the oils coming out. Definitely a great purchase and I will likely purchase another for my daughter’s bedroom

18. ‘Bride’ Robe
[amazon box=”B07656WD3Q” description=” ” rating=”4.6″]
If the robe fits…This robe will definitely fit your blushing bride and will be a dressing room staple with all the preparations for the wedding day. The gift of relaxation and comfort is always unmatched.
Sample Customer Review…I ordered these robes in navy blue for my sister’s wedding and they all fit wonderfully. The sizes are true to size and the robes are adjustable with the outside ties and the inner ties (for someone who may be very small). The quality of the robes was beautiful, letters stayed on as well. Will order again for sure!

19. Location Necklace
[amazon box=”B0792R9WGB” description=” ” rating=”4.4″]
This necklace is a more thoughtful and meaningful gift because it gives the bride something she can wear daily as a happy memory of one of the best days of her life. This necklace contains the latitude and longitudinal coordinates of the wedding venue, or any other location of your choosing! Putting this necklace in a beautiful gift box will make it something she will never forget and always treasure.
Sample Customer Review…I got this as a gift for my girlfriend, I was super happy with how it came out. I opted for the hand-stamped rather than the engraving and it looked great. I did the Roman numerals of our anniversary on the front, and the coordinates of where I asked her to be my girlfriend on the back. She’s been wearing it more than the diamond necklace I purchased her 2 years back.
