My daughter is having her bachelorette party and I am invited. Well I know what type of gift I am supposed to get but for the life of me I can't buy something like that for my daughter*L* I have been to tones of them and laughed while buying gifts but this is my daughter. She already got her honeymoon nightie so that isn't an option for me to give. So what should I get her? I never thought I would have an issue like this but oh my gosh she is my daughter*L* What naughty gift would you give your daughter???

Lol. I think I would have a hard time with this one too if I were in your shoes. You could try to make it funny and give something like some aromatherapy massaging oil wrapped up with a little pair of baby booties... like a hint, hint. I think you should feel flattered that you were invited.

Maybe just another set of nice jammies? Not necessarily sexy ones but some nice silk ones or something?

I like the idea that everyone else is giving about a nice romantic dinner voucher or basket . It sounds like a nice idea and then you don't have to worry about getting something that you are not comfortable with but that your daughter in law should love . Get what you think is appropriate and don't worry about what you are expected to get . This should be a time to enjoy and not a time for you to be worried that you will get the wrong gift . I am sure your daughter in law will love whatever you pick out .

I personally couldn't buy my daughter a very naughty gift, but there are still lots of romantic gifts that you can give her like his and her matching terry robes, scented candles, a bottle of champagne. I love scented bath scrubs as well. You could buy her a funny gift instead if you feel uncomfortable getting her anything intimate. Frankly, I think it's great that you were invited. My mom wasn't invited to mine so your daughter must really love being around you.

Everyone has given some great suggestions and I agree that you don't have to go "naughty" and could get something along the lines of a gift certificate or a basket full of items to pamper. Lotions, body wash, scrubs, massage oil are all nice gifts. Maybe even a day at the spa would be nice. Congratulations on your daughter's upcoming wedding! I wish her years of happiness and love.

A gift certificate for the store in question. That way you're following with the "theme" of the event, but you don't have to know what it is she's getting.

If she already has her nightie how about a silk robe. What about a bubble bath and lotion basket.

How about a lotion or sexy perfume. You could get warming lotion or something to add to a romantic bath. It would be a little suttle but still be the same idea.

Get her a gift certificate to VIctoria Secret or another place like that. that way, she can get what she wants, and you don't have to be the one to buy it for her! My sister did this for me for my party, and I really appreciated it, as there were some last minute things I wanted, but simply couldn't afford at the time, due to the costs of the wedding. Good luck. And congrats!

When my daughter married,I was in the same boat as you....and yes,she too already had her honeymoon nightie.....I just bought her another,more sexier one,explaining that she can be expected to wear the same one throughout the whole honeymoon....it went over better than I expected.....I think she would have been just as embarrassed to receive as I would have been to give

I was the mother of the bride at one time. I knew her friends were all getting her the *naughty* gifts. There was no need for me to get her more. I got her a nice gown with a matching robe and slippers. It was something nice enough she could answer the door in and not be showing off anything. But it also was not something her grandmother would be wearing. LOL

I totally understand where you are coming from and I think your daughter will too. I think that you should buy her a nice gift. Then, when you give it to her, just tell her in a jovial way that you just could not do it.

Well if she already has her honeymoon nightie, what about some underwear like a matching Bra and Pantie set in like a silky material with lace or something? Something romantic that she can wear on her honeymoon. It doesn't have to be naughty, and being your daughter, I'm sure she will more than appreciate the thought that went into it :o) No matter what you buy, she will know it comes with the one thing that nobody else's gift did .... wrapped with a Mothers love.

Hi TriciaW I dont have a daughter in law but what I think is a great gift is a voucher for dinner somewhere. See this is romantic and a night off. It means there is more time for grandchildren lol naughty but nice. I hope I helped.
