Handmade Gifts are Meaningful

You can combine something simple that you make yourself with something that you buy.

You could buy keepsake boxes and tuck some item inside that you made yourself. If you have a poetic flair, for example, you could write a poem in her honor. If you like to sew, you could embroider her initials on a handkerchief.

Make a charm cake for your bridal shower and put high-quality charms in it. Gift each bridesmaid with a charm bracelet. Charm cakes are one of the traditional activities held at bridal showers. Each guest pulls a ribbon attached to a charm in the cake before it is frosted. The charm she receives will predict whether she will be the next to marry (a ring charm), have a baby (a baby charm), receive money (a dollar sign charm), and so forth. She can start her charm bracelet with this charm.

You could make a personalized CD of songs that you both love.
