Five on Friday: Bridal Edition


Spring is on the horizon and before we know it--- summer will be here! And that means: Wedding Season! This weekend I will attending a bridal shower for one of my best friends and college roommate. So, I decided to make this Friday's blog post about bridal/wedding gifts! I have chosen three top items that I received as a gift and use VERY frequently (and they are budget friendly items!). I have also chosen two items from Etsy; I just love personalized and monogrammed things and Etsy has tons of great options if you are looking for more of a unique wedding gift!
Enjoy your weekend!!


1: Oxo mixing bowl set.

(Found at Target for $24.99)



2: Crockpot (best invention ever!) I love the one I received with a timer
as well as my three crock one. 

(Found at Target for $49.99)







3: Small step ladder. This comes in handy SO much!

(Found at Target for $34.99)


4: Mr. & Mrs. Beer and Sangria glasses (how cute are these!?!).
(Etsy shop: ScissorMill for $25.00)



5: Wood sign with last name.
(Etsy shop: CRSWoodDesigns for $41.50)




Along with the 5 on Friday ladies I am also linking up with:

The Grits Blog


Do you have a favorite wedding gift that you received? 
Were you given a personalized item? If so, what was it?
Do you have any other tips for buying the perfect wedding gift?


Here is my friend and I in Mexico last year (when I got married!!)
Can't wait to spend some time with her!!

Thanks for stopping by!! Have a great weekend!! 
:)

  1. I have that crock pot and I love it! I think I need a trip to target because my mixing bowls somehow became dog bowls, and I'd love some new ones!

  5. Those Mr and Mrs glasses are so cute! I received a similar set of wine glasses that had our Mr and Mrs + last name and wedding date. It was such a unique gift idea and something we can pull out every year on our anniversary! Visiting from the link up!

  7. What a perfect idea for a post! And I agree 100% with your choices. We actually got the first three items and you're right, I use those all the time! And I never got one but I love the signs with "est" and the year. My best friend got one when she got married and I loved it! Maybe I'll just order myself one :) Hope you have a great weekend!
