What was your favorite non-registery shower gift?

My godmother's daughter is getting married and I need to get a gift. Everything has been bought off her registery, I don't want to just give a gc. Any ideas?

Another was a blanket with our names and our wedding date

I got some decorative serving pieces, not too fancy that I wondered when I would ever use them...

I love them! I have a ceramic thing with 3 small bowls on it in all these vibrant colors. I use it to put out olives, roasted peppers, and artichoke hearts in when I do lunches with guests.

non-registry was definitely from my aunt--- it was 2 white terry cloth robes personalized w/ each of our names rolled up and put in a wicker basket --- it was labeled using regular printer paper but had photos of me growing up--- she gave us that and photo coasters--- I love both of them!!!

My spice basket.

My MOH asked everyone to submit a recipie and bring a long a container of whatever spice is needed for it.

I got some common ones, some I barely knew what to do withChat Icon and some expensive ones... it really helped stock the pantry. They can be expensive to buy all at once when you move.

A woman that my mother works with, whom I've never met, made us a quilt with our bedroom colors. It's beautiful, and so touching, that someone would put so much time and effort into something for someone she doesn't even know. We don't sleep with it, but it hangs over our bed (when it's made).

Some people are just so thoughtful, and that's what makes it a wonderful gift.
