Bridal Gift Hamper Ideas and Inspiration
Your best friend’s big day is approaching, and you’re on the hunt for the perfect bridal hamper to celebrate her upcoming nuptials – have no fear, this handy guide can help.
Bridal hampers should be thoughtful, whether that means filling the basket with useful bits and pieces for the bride or gifting a present bursting with their favourite treats. We’ve curated a guide to either creating or buying the perfect bridal gift hamper for your best friend, sister or loved one. Read on to discover bridal hamper ideas to suit every kind of woman in your life on her special day.
What to put in a Bridal Gift Hamper
The world is truly your oyster when it comes to packing a bridal gift hamper full of goodies. Amidst the stress of wedding day planning, it’s always a nice idea to pack your bridal shower gift hamper with products that will make their life easier in the run up to the big day, or thereafter.
As a rule of thumb, keep these factors in mind:
A Treat
Add a luxurious item you know your bride adores but doesn’t usually treat themselves to as a lovely surprise. For example, their very favourite bottle of champagne to pop on the first day of the honeymoon!
A Treasure
Include a gift that is everlasting, something they can keep and remember this special time in their lives. Maybe a picture of the couple in a beautiful frame, or a Christmas decoration as an ode to the wedding day.
A Helping Hand
Sprinkling in a few useful products to your bridal hamper gifts is sure to help your bride breathe a sigh of relief post wedding glow. This could be as simple as a quality face mask, or a travel box for her new ring.
A Pamper Hamper Before I Do’s
Gifting a pamper hamper packed with essentials for a DIY spa night is a classic gift box idea for a reason! Either build your own or buy a ready-made bridal shower gift hamper brimming with goods to help your bride detox after the wedding planning. An example of a treat to add to your pamper hamper is our Bottle N Bar Gin & Chocolates Gift Set. Tuck into the delicious bar of chocolate and sip on your tasty bottles of gins whilst relaxing with the girls.
Things to include:
-
Face masks
-
Skincare headband
-
Bath bombs
-
Essential oils
-
A candle
A Few of Her Favourite Things
Nothing puts a smile on a loved one's face quite like going the extra mile, so listening to your bridal bestie and combining all her favourite products is an excellent idea for a bridal gift hamper. Think about her favourite bottle of alcohol – is it gin, or does she prefer a high-quality vodka? Pair this with a sweet treat that you know she loves like her top sweets or chocolate brand.
Finish off this thoughtful DIY bridal gift with a keepsake product, rather than all perishables. This could be as simple as a fuzzy pair of socks to where to a snowy honeymoon, or an extra special tea towel printed with moments from the wedding day!
A Ladies Honeymoon Survival Kits
During the lead up to the wedding, time to plan for the big honeymoon always seems to slip through your fingers and leave you a little frazzled. Help your bridal friend out with a complete kit of honeymoon essentials that she’s sure to thank you for!
