My bridal shower is tomorrow. We've already received a few wedding gifts and honestly, every time I'm handed a gift I can't believe that I'm marrying my favorite person and people are buying me gifts for it. It just seems crazy!
A close friend of my future mother-in-law is throwing the shower, which is beyond generous. It's a lot of work to throw a party, especially a shower, I think. I mean most, if not all, of the guests are people she's never met before. I am so so grateful.
I've been trying to come up with a sweet gift to bring her as the hostess.
Here were a few of my ideas.
After our moves this summer, I've sort of been feeling like we have so much "stuff". So I thought maybe it would be nice to get her something that she could use rather than something that would add to our growing collection of "things".
Last weekend while in Napa, I stopped at my favorite olive oil company (aptly named Napa Valley Olive Oil Manufacturing Company) and picked up a large bottle of their amazing olive oil and their pomegranate balsamic vinegar {so delicious on salads especially with strawberries or peaches}.
A friend I used to work with, always wrapped her packages in fabric swatches. It looked so pretty and so unique. And with inspiration from this pin, I decided to wrap my gifts in pretty dishtowels from Anthropologie for an added gift.
I wrapped each bottle in a dish towel with raffia and then included a recipe for my favorite meyer lemon olive oil bread.
Hope she likes it!
Happy long weekend!
