Candles are such an easy and simple gift that you can’t go wrong with. Not everyone loves heavy or strong scents, so going for something a bit lighter and clean is always a win.
Self-Care Products
Self-care products are a great bridal shower game prize idea. You can find products that anyone can use!
This Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask is a hot commodity right now. It leaves your lips so hydrated the next morning. It would make the perfect gift!
Coffee Mug Set
These neutral toned coffee mugs are a classic and timeless addition to anyone’s kitchen. They would make a great gift for your bridal shower guests!

Who doesn’t love wine or a fancy wine glass set?! These wine glasses would pair great with a bottle of wine and make the perfect gift!
Makeup Bag
Makeup bags are always useful. There are many sizes and colors. You can definitely find one that anyone would love and I am sure it would be a huge hit!
Travel Bags/Totes
Totes and travel bags are always a necessity. And it never hurts to have more than one. This would make such a great bridal shower game prize!
Charcuterie/Cheese Board
Charcuterie boards are very popular right now! The one below, on the left, has a hidden drawer to store the cheese knives and fork! The perfect idea for a bridal shower game prize!
Travel Water Bottle/Can Cooler
A travel water bottle is a super simple gift idea. One of these would be a great addition to a gift basket or could be the perfect prize on it’s own!
Coaster Set
Coaster sets are great gift ideas. They are used often and are not necessarily something that needs to match the decor of people’s homes.
I won an Anthropologie coaster set at a bridal shower a couple years before owning a home. I was so excited when I got to add them to my new home just last year. This set below from Anthropologie is simple and modern, it would make an excellent prize!
Easiest Bridal Shower Game Prizes
There are a couple super easy bridal shower game prizes that don’t require as much thought as purchasing specific gifts.
First, we have gift cards. Gift cards are hands down probably the easiest item you could give as a game prize. And I don’t believe anyone would ever be disappointed about winning a gift card. Some great places would be Amazon, Target, Walmart or a popular local restaurant in your area.
A second easy gift would be to repurpose your centerpieces if possible. If you plan to use real flower centerpieces at your shower, you can give those away as prizes.
A friend of mine had orchids as the table centerpieces at her bridal shower. They ending up using the orchids as the game prizes. It was so simple and cost effective.
The last easy gift idea is a bottle of wine. This is a know your crowd type of gift. It can definitely be a fun prize. Especially paired with a wine glass set!
Gift Basket/Goody Bag
Gift baskets or goody bags that hold a few smaller items are another great idea for bridal shower game prizes.
Creating multiple gift baskets that have the same or similar items can be a lot easier for you. Or you can put completely different items in each basket. It’s totally up to you!
It may sound like more work. However, finding a few small items can be less stressful than finding one perfect gift.
