At this stage in my life, most of my friends are either getting married or having a baby. I am asked to a lot of showers and sometimes I struggle with what to give as a gift. Yes, you can take the easy way out and go online shopping on a registry (yup, I do this often!) but that is not your only option for gift giving! If you step outside the guest of honor's registry though, it HAS to be a fabulous, well-thought out gift....which can be exhausting! Who has the time for that?! I recently found an AMAZING online store called Navy & Lavender...all their gifts are unique, affordable, and they offer a lot of "themed" gifts like gifts for the spa lover, gifts for the chef...all it takes is a few clicks to buy these sets and the recipient of your gift will think you slaved away putting this together for her!
These are a few of my favorites for bridal shower gifts (or for any type of gift for your favorite girl! Please take note, anyone looking to buy me a gift for my upcoming December birthday...!!!):
For the couple that likes to cook together, this set comes with a feminine apron, a grilling apron, matching oven mitt, pot holder, and a super cute dessert pan for $105...

For those of you that crave anything related to a spa, massage or facial (seriously...anyone planning on getting me something sometime soon??), this set called Just Calm Down is great at $100 and includes his-&-her spa slippers, a lavender candle, foaming bath and body cream...

For the couple that loves being outdoors, get them a gift that allows them to eat outdoors on the go! This Picnic in the Park set includes everything you need for your meal together, but still is compact and really cute! Not to mention only $70! Put some sandwiches in there or cheese, fruit and wine and you are set!

The last set is my favorite and just perfect for me (Do you think my husband is reading this?) For your girlfriend that loves to relax and drink a cup of tea, this Perfect Hostest set, $65, has a clever tea cup and saucer that nestle into the tea pot. In addition, two beautifully embroidered napkins, two tea bag "rests," and a clever little start-funny-conversations card game complete the set. So, so cute and perfect for a bridal shower or birthday!

Ok, here is the best part of this post...Navy & Lavender has agreed to give one of our lucky Stylewhipped readers a Perfect Hostest tea set!
