The Best Bridal Shower Gifts for Every Kind of Bride

You're not gonna let the bride use just any old drugstore body lotion on her big day, are you? Give her a way to moisturize more indulgently with Tocca's new Olio Sublime Profumato Scented Dry Body Oil. Available in four of Tocca's most beloved scents — Cleopatra, Guiletta, Stella, and Florence (seen here) — this dry body oil sprays on in a non-messy mist, leaving skin glowy and ever so lightly fragranced. 

We're not saying the bride's teeth have to match her dress, but who would appreciate having their most stunning smile while walking down the aisle? Laughland's At-Home Whitening Kit makes it super-easy with its personalized whitening gel, whitening light, and smartphone adapter. After just a few treatments, which last five to 30 minutes — totally up to her — she'll see brighter teeth that will truly beam in her wedding photos. 

The honeymoon may still be a few weeks away, but she can start enjoying those getaway vibes right away with the Vacation High Ceiling Resort Lobby Luxury Scented Candle. Inspired by that moment you walk into the hotel and realize you're not in Kansas anymore, it exudes notes of fresh-cut flowers, glossy magazines, and ocean breeze for 85 hours. (So she'll have plenty more to enjoy when she's back from her trip and wants to reminisce about her romantic getaway.)

It's never too late — or too early — for a bride to commit to a skin-care routine that will get her glowing for the wedding and beyond. Sunday Riley's Go to Bed With Me Complete Evening Routine is truly everything she needs for noticeably smooth, bright, moisturized skin: Ceramic Slip Cleanser, Pink Drink Essence, Good Genes Lactic Acid Treatment, A+ High-Dose Retinoid Serum, Luna Sleeping Night Oil, 5 Stars Retinoid + Niacinamide Eye Serum, and Ice Ceramide Moisturizing Cream — basically an all-star lineup of Sunday Riley faves.

Whether she's outdoorsy or indoorsy, the bride will love a Caminito Blanket Roll. They come in tons of chic color combinations and patterns — the gold- and pink-striped Mareo Oro is seen here — so they look fantastic when she and her new spouse are cuddling up on the couch or picnicking in the park. We especially love that it comes with a monogrammable handle.

The B on this Limited Edition Cosmetic Bag stands for Balmain, but in this instance, it also stands for bride. Inside the chic case is a fantastic bridal shower gift for the gal who loves to pamper her hair wherever she may go. The indulgent lineup includes three Balmain Hair Couture products perfect for taking on a honeymoon — Texturizing Salt Spray, Leave-in Conditioning Spray, and Argan Moisturizing Elixir — and a velvet scrunchie so stylish, she may just try to make it work with her wedding look.

This cute, mint-green gadget may look like a steamer, but it's actually a life-saver. In situations where ironing isn't feasible, or when she just doesn't feel up to the task, the Black+Decker Advanced Handheld Steamer releases wrinkles and freshens up fabric in seconds — all kinds of fabric, in fact. It comes with attachments for removing lint, improving the appearance of upholstery, and gently steaming delicate fabrics (say, wedding dresses).

Some brides will gladly leave their manicures to the pros, but if your friend is more of a DIYer, she'll love the Lilac Blossom Gel Manicure Kit by Le Mini Macaron. It comes with a pretty pastel purple gel polish and the cutest little LED lamp you ever did see in a matching color. With the mini nail file, 10 remover wraps, and detailed instructions that come in the kit, she'll have everything she needs to do her own gel manicure.

Droplette is the perfect device for the skin-care-loving bride who wants to take her routine to a new level before the big day. The brand creates its own formulas made to penetrate skin more deeply than traditional application methods, thanks to the sleek gadget's micro-infusion technology. (It combines fluid dynamics, the piezoelectric effect, and Fick's laws of diffusion — very science-y.) It feels like a futurist spa treatment available right there in the bathroom.

We're celebrating love, so these Ninfa Handmade Heart Earrings are an on-the-nose — or, rather, on-the-lobe — way to express how happy you are for the bride. The red glass charm dangles from small, gold-plated hoops, creating an adorable way to accent any outfit. (And if you want to give the bride her "something blue," they come in a powder-blue hue, too.) 

The Moroccanoil Mediterranean Escape Set is even more ready than the bride is for her honeymoon. This cute and convenient set comes with four travel-sized Moroccanoil best-sellers — Hydrating Shampoo, Hydrating Conditioner, Hair & Body Fragrance Mist, and the original Moroccanoil Treatment — in a vibrant turquoise case that she'll use long after she's done with the products.

Lingerie is one of the classic bridal shower gifts, but it doesn't have to be the risqué kind if that's not the bride's style. Anyone who loves undergarments that are as pretty as they are comfortable will appreciate the Her Highness Lace Brief 3-Pack from Bloomers (available in sizes XS to XXL). The brand's best-selling panties — which featured a high waist, invisible scalloped edges, and four-way stretch lace — are bundled as a trio in black, white, and pink for whatever mood she may be in.

For the bride that plans to do her own wedding makeup, a thorough and high-quality set of makeup brushes is essential. No wonder Trademark Beauty and makeup artist Tobi Henney named this set The Essentials Makeup Brush Collection. It comes with a dozen indispensable, soft, and beautifully designed brushes: an eyebrow brush, a smudge brush, a pencil brush, a flat brush, a small powder brush, a concealer brush, a crease brush, a highlighter brush, a blush brush, a contour brush, a foundation brush, and a bronzer brush — literally everything she could possibly need and then some.

If you're going to raise a glass to the bride, make it a gorgeous one. The Alana Kay Art Cocktail Glasses are absolutely stunning, with six colorful designs inspired by the artist's own resin paintings. ("Spark" is seen here.) Because they're sold individually, you can get her a mixed set, a matching pair for her and her soon-to-be spouse, or just one to remember you by every time she drinks from it. (And we know they're not technically champagne glasses, but why not accompany your drinkware gift with a bottle of the equally vibrant Moët & Chandon Nectar Impérial Rosé?)

Has she been using the same tweezers for as long as you've known her? Now is the time for an upgrade. Give her the gold standard — in rose gold: the Tweezerman Rose Gold Slant Tweezers. Famous for its ease and accuracy, this classic tool can be engraved with up to 15 characters in four different fonts to make it an extra-special gift.

We're not saying she should bike down the aisle, but the Retrospec Kinney Mixte City Bike sure would make a pretty entrance with its stylish design and eggshell finish. But even if she saves it for other, more cycling-friendly occasions, the bride will love this seven-speeder for its high-tensile steel frame, smooth-riding commuter tires, and easy-to-mount frame. (It's also available at Amazon, but stock may vary.)

At first glance, Maskee is a little off-putting, but we're not kidding when we say every bride needs this clever contraption on her wedding day. Available in red, black, and blue, Maskee brilliant prevents makeup from transferring onto clothing, while simultaneously preventing clothing from messing up makeup. She'll be so thankful for it when the gown goes on, and she'll continue using it while getting ready long after she's said "I do."

The bride doesn't have a signature scent? There's still time for her to choose one that she'll always associate with her wedding day, and the St. Rose Eau de Parfum Discovery Set will help her find it. This six-piece flight comes with a range of scents that cover every kind of taste — woody, fresh, floral, etc. We especially love Juliet in White — with its heart of jasmine, rose, and bergamot — for a bride.

Sure, the Béis Weekend Travel Bag is obviously going to be what the bride reaches for as a carry-on for her honeymoon, but imagine how much use she'll get from it for years to come. An organizational legend, this canvas godsend has pockets for everything, a generously roomy interior, a shoe compartment, and the option to carry via handles or cross-body strap. Don't be surprised if you spot it behind the scenes on the big day, full of wedding-day must-haves and emergency supplies.
