Unique Wedding Gift Ideas

Wedding shower gifts are sometimes hard to be creative with. Yes, there is the typical “by off the registry” gift, but what if you wanted to do something a little more creative?

When I was a bride-to-be, my sister had given me a bucket full of cleaning supplies. I still use it to this day! I thought it was such a creative, yet practical gift. I realized that even though I typically get registry gifts, I have deviated from the norm.

If you are looking to expand your gift ideas for showers or weddings, here are a few ideas that may inspire or get those wheels turnin’.

Wisdom Cleaning Bucket:
Buy each of these cleaning/household supplies and attach a little card with each of these sayings on it:

• Pledge – Honor the pledge you made before God to love each other – try to put the other first before yourself.
• Bounce dryer sheets – Keep your marriage fresh and new – expanding your interests and communicating what is in your hearts.
• Trash bags – When something hurtful happens – forgive it and trash it – never to bring it up again!
• Aluminum foil – Preserve your love for all the days God gives you – enjoy your common interests and respect your differences
• Scrubbers – Scrub anger from your marriage never go to bed angry at each other.
