Quick gift for a bride
>> Wednesday, May 26, 2010
I haven't had much time to sit down and write blog posts like I used to. But, I hope that I'll make some time soon. (Just pretend that you miss me. It's good for my self-esteem.)
Anyhoo - here's a peek at a gift I gave to a friend getting married this weekend. I just wanted to get her something small, and I think this would be a perfect gift for a shower. (I think I would pair this with some cooking utensils, measuring spoons and/or a cookbook.)
I'm getting much better at working my embroidery machine. It's such a great thing to have to make ho-hum gifts really sing.
So now you know what my favorite shower gift is -
Do you remember your favorite shower gift?

I would love this!! I am getting married in October! :)
So adorable! So clever! A gift she will always remember.............my favorite wedding gift? OMG....I think I'd have to look at my wedding book. How terrible is that? Guess I didn't get a monogrammed apron, eh?
Fantastic!!! My very favorite wedding gift is my electric wine opener - silly but wonderful ( especially after that first bottle when they get harder to open :)
Love this, such a great idea. I wish someone gave me something like this. Aprons are so expensive!
You should show your apron. I love aprons and have about 20 links saved for ones I'd like to make. If only I could remember to put one on before getting flour on my shirt. Shower gift? my dishes I guess.
i'm not certain what my favorite shower gift was at the time. i think my favorite now is the gourmet cookbook. http://www.amazon.com/Gourmet-Cookbook-More-Than-Recipes/dp/0618374086 the name is misleading--it *is* recipes from throughout the history of gourmet magazine, but it's very approachable and informative and really, a cooking bible. love it.
my favorite wedding gift was a gurgling cod. =) http://www.shrevecrumpandlow.com/history/gurgling_cod.aspx it's a pitcher in the anatomically-correct codfish shape, and it makes gurgling noises as water moves around. it's ridiculous but practical and, in a clean white, totally fits our aesthetic. i think it's great. =)
I need to get married first! I get bought a heart locket pendant whenever I'm a bridesmaid. It's like a little tradition. I love lockets. x
great idea! so perfect and yes - new brides always love mrs. xxxxx all over :) apron = perfect. plus, even if i had one, it's never the end of the world to have an absolutely adorable 2nd one!
hmm, my favorite shower gift? anything from our registry, hah!!
Aww...so cute and personal! These were the colors of my wedding!
Let's rewind back to 2005. You are invited to my bridal shower. Please bring cute personalized things. Thank you.
My favorite gift? Is it bad if I say a case of wine?
Wait, you have an embroidery machine? Did I miss this announcement? I want to know what it is! Calming down now, I love this gift - it's practical, personal and will be used all the time.
wow you did a great job! I'd love to do that for my sister as a wedding gift (next weekend) but I have no clue where to even find a fabulous apron!
HA! I was just opening my Google Reader thinking, "I feel like it's been a while since Kim posted!" Life has gotten so crazy I have no time to read other people's blogs, much less post on my own. Hence all the picture posts! Your gift was adorable, that is a great idea!
That is such a sweet gift!! I would have loved that!
I second Emily's comment!! Please tell us more about your embroidery machine!!!!
This apron looks amazing. What a thoughtful gift. I would love to give/ receive one of these.
My favorite shower gift?
My mom gave me a cake serving set that has fabulously sparkly handles!
That is a great gift Kim! I would have loved to get this set when I got married!! AND HELLO? You have an embroidery machine? You could totally go into business. ;-) The pink on green is A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E.
Awesome gift! I'm so envious of your embroidery machine!! I don't remember my favorite shower gift. :s Maybe my set of Calphalon pots and pans from T's grandma???
What a fabulous idea!
I so want an embroidery machine....for the sole reason of doing things like this. What a great gift!
any ideas for new moms and babies?? I am trying to think of cute baby shower gifts!
