To be honest, I stole this idea from my Mom. Thanks, Mom!
I love giving tool kits for wedding shower gifts, especially if she is a young bride and isn't likely to have many tools yet.
Stereotypically, men get upset when someone else uses their tools. Well, if the bride wants to hang a picture or install something, she now has the right tools to do so, without waiting until her husband comes home or for his help.
Brides say they love and use them.

Kid's Kitchen Supplies
I got this idea from organize.com and changed it a little.
If you are shopping for a little one who loves to help in the kitchen, think about getting an apron with some "tools" and a cookbook. You can get a whisk, spatula and a wooden spoon. Pick a kid's cookbook that includes easy-to-make recipes.
The one on Organize.com includes a sand timer, mixing bowls, measuring cups, measuring spoons etc.

Photo Books
I love making scrapbooks but they take a lot of time, supplies and patience. That's why I'm now in love with photo books from Shutterfly.com.
I made one for myself after my wedding. I had about 500 digital pictures and I needed a way to sort, organize and display my favorites. So, I turned to a website that could do that for me easily. My first book took a long time as I figured out how it worked, picked out pictures, arranged them and added captions.
When all was said and done, I loved my new book. My mom and mother-in-law also loved my book so I made one for each. Each book became easier and easier as I mastered the tools and tricks of creating them.
Both moms loved their book. My mom showed off hers to our family during her cross-country trek with my dad.
Shutterfly has new "embellishments" or "stickers" that are captions and decals. They are have huge variety of them that come in different lettering, colors and designs.
Be creative!
