OT: Gift ideas for bridal shower needed

Move to Japan...Easy peasy.

Well, on TV they say the Triphoria is what women want. LOL JK

I know when I buy for things like this I really like to get a nice family bible or family photo album.

anything you wouldn'd spend $25 on for yourself.  A nice can opener that cuts with out sharp edges or I just bought my daugher a egg maker.  you plug it in, fill it w the correct amount of water, poke holes in the top of the egss & turn on about 10 mins & you have the best soft, med or hard boiled eggs.  never over cooked no green ring aroung the yolk, just perfect eggs.
I was married 12 years ago & not much from my shower is still around,   the everyday dishes, bowls & mugs all broke in my ceramic sink, the towels got old & I used them as rags after a few years.  not much of it lasts so go with something that will last.  I rec staek knives that we still use and think of "Terri" everytime.  a beautiful sugar bowl & creamer set & it can be purchased at a second hand store, milk glass if you can find it. 

Did she not register?

If you have a restaurant supply store available you can buy a wealth of quality kitchen items for $25. Concentrate on stainless.  I love my one peice stainless ladles in all sizes.  They have great whisks for around $3.25.  The selection of spatulas for non stick cookware is great.  Oh, check out the wooden spoons.  Take your time.  :)  Loris
