It seems like someone we know is always getting married. Whether you’re a loyal member of the bride tribe or the blushing bride-to-be, honoring the big day consists of a lot more than just the wedding ceremony. From the bachelorette party to the bridal shower, planning memorable pre-marriage celebrations doesn’t have to be stressful! See our bridal celebration ideas below.
If you’re looking to plan an epic bachelorette party, why not an adults-only trip to Disney?? Kristy celebrated her sister-in-law’s upcoming nuptials with a weekend in the happiest place on Earth and had a blast! She recommends going without kids to Disney at least once in your life, because the experience is so different when you don’t have to worry about the little ones.
Make sure you grab matching magical tees, fun coordinating mouse ears, and, if you really want to get crazy, princess-themed outfits for going out at night!! We all know the bride is royalty, so what better occasion to show off your queenship.
After all of that celebrating, you’re probably going to want a little help recovery. These bachelorette party survival kits make the perfect gift for all the gals! Your bride and bridal party will be as good as new in no time with these essentials.
For a bridal shower, you’re going to want to gift something practical but something the bride wouldn’t necessarily buy for herself. How about this: a mini wine fridge with a customized wine subscription! Who wouldn’t want delicious wines delivered right to their door, especially with all that stress of wedding planning?! Don’t forget your “Miss to Mrs.” banner in case anyone forgot who all those gifts are for.
A “bride” silk robe is a must. Whether she wants to wear it on her wedding day or lounging around her house while she dreams of being the future Mrs., this is one bridal tradition you don’t want to forgo.
Games are a bridal shower must! This ring game is a fun way to get everyone involved and share a few laughs over some healthy competition.
These party favors are perfect for your bridal shower guests! Kiss the miss goodbye with Hershey’s Kisses and champagne lip balm. Pucker up!!

It’s graduation season! Cue “Graduation” by Vitamin C (that song is definitely a classic). This is an exciting and emotional time for our graduates as they look back on all of their accomplishments and memories made and head toward the next big chapter in their lives. Give them a gift that will set them up for success at their new job, their new apartment, or their new school. Whether you’re shopping for a college graduate, a high school graduate, or a seriously sophisticated kindergarten graduate (we recommend the cookies for this one) we have got an awesome selection of gifts that your graduate will love.
Kitchen Gifts
For the one who spends all their time in the kitchen (we see you and we’re with you), these kitchen essentials make for great gifts. Brew a cup of coffee, blend a smoothie, bake some healthy fries, and bite a delicious cookie. Food is a gift to the soul, and these are our gifts to you.
Coffee Maker (shop from here, too – check your Kohl’s wallet for additional savings!!) • Toaster Oven | Instantpot | Air Fryer | Cheryl’s Cookies | Swell Water Bottle (grab it here, also) | Blender (more options here)
Tech Gifts
For the tech whiz, these gifts are totally trendy. A new laptop, noise cancelling headphones, and a smartwatch are perfect for helping your graduate stay connected and in the zone. Gift an Apple AirTag so they can easily locate all their new electronics.
Laptop Case | Laptop | Firestick | Smartwatch | AirTag | Noise Cancelling Headphones | Bluetooth Speaker
Gifts to Plan and Organize
For the grad who loves to plan it out, write it down, and put it away, these organizational items are ideal. Storage bins and desk organizers are serious space savers, and a gorgeous planner will make scheduling something to look forward to.
Desk Organizer | Rolling Wardrobe | Planner (check out these grad-specific planning accessories, too) | Storage Baskets
Miscellaneous Gifts
And if you want to give a useful utility gift, a tool kit, bed in a bag set, or a nice piece of jewelry are always great options.
Bed in a Bag | Tool Kit | Towel Set | Watch (shop clearance styles here, also) | Jewelry
