If you’re looking to gift something off-registry for a bridal shower gift, there’s no better insurance that she’ll love it then if it’s personalized. Whether it’s her initials, a monogram, or the most favorited, something with her soon-to-be last name, she’ll love it.

1. Personalized Rustic Wood Locking Triple Wine Box
(Steven and Rae Designs)
Every first milestone in a marriage deserves to be celebrated.

This set of wine boxes features three wood personalize boxes – one to open on their 1st anniversary, one for the 5th anniversary, and one for the 10th anniversary. Each compartment comes with a lock and key. The boxes measure 15″ x 15″ x 4″ and fit one standard bottle of wine.
