Re: bridal shower gift for friend
The most thoughtful gift I received from my bridal shower was the 12 bride's ornaments:
Bride’s Christmas Tree
A lovely tradition from Germany is the “Bride's Tree”. It is believed that a couple's Christmas tree needs twelve specific ornaments for happiness in their life journey together. The twelve ornaments & what they symbolize are:
Fish ~ Represents Christ's blessing
Teapot ~ Represents hospitality
Bird ~ Symbolizes joy & happiness
Angel ~ Symbol of God’s guidance
Rabbit ~ Reflects hope & peace with nature
Fruit ~ Symbolizes generosity & plenty
Heart ~ Symbol of true love & love in the home
Pine Cone ~ Represents fruitfulness, eternity, motherhood & fertility
Flowers ~ Symbol of good wishes & beauty in the home
Rose ~ Symbol of beauty & affection
House ~ Represents protection & family shelter
Santa ~ Symbol of goodwill, giving & sharing

Re: bridal shower gift for friend
You could do a trunk filled with decorations for her home of all the different seasons.
Another idea, they sell sets of candles, when the couple has their first fight they light it, when they move into their house they light one and so on, very cute!
