Bridal shower gift help

I have a shower next weekend that I just found out about because the invite got stuck on the mail, so a lot of the stuff on the registry is gone. She has 2 cutting boards (same board different sizes) that I was going to get but that seems blah on its own. Anyone have an idea for something cute (and cheap) to go with it?

This is a tough one
Only thing I can think of is maybe more kitche stuff. Cute kitchen towels (Christmas tree shop has some really fun ones) maybe place the cutting boards into a basket or big mixing bowl and throw a couple towels in there and a rubber spatula for the bowl, etc

Stack the cutting boards, add some cute tea towels, wooden spoons, maybe a good veggie peeler, cheese slicer and cheese knife, tie it all together with tulle or some wide ribbon.

I don't know if you're superstitious or if he bride to be is. If you are, no knives. It's bad luck to give someone knives

You could have the cutting board engraved with their names and wedding date

They say that if you pay the person for them (pennies will do) it takes the bad juju off. You were supposed to give them to her as "payment" My family - we take no chances. You need knives, buy them yourself lol

At this point id probably do a gift card. Not as fun but probably more useful.

What if you did cute personalized aprons for bride and groom. Or if they're both sports fans, etc you could get rival aprons. Williams Sonoma had a lot of stuff like that on their website.

I just ordered from things remembered personalized wine glasses they have a special buy one get one free on select styles. It came out to $58
My sister got the same ones monogrammed and hers came to $35 so she is adding a bottle of wine to go with her gift. Just an idea for you that isn't too much $ and they will have forever

Also I did in store pick up so I didn't have to pay for shipping and they were done the same day I ordered them
