Pineapple Gifts For Brides

Pineapples are so popular right now. All of a sudden, people everywhere are posting: Be a pineapple. Stand tall, wear a crown, and be sweet on the inside. It's pretty sound advice, especially when you're wedding planning.

So, of course, I had to jump on the trend. I put together a list of my favorite pineapple gifts for brides. A few of these aren't specifically for brides (like the pineapple tank top), so I'm buying that one for myself. And if you grab something for yourself, don't worry: I won't tell your bride.

Pineapple Gifts For Brides

1. Bride Tribe Pineapple Trucker Hat
2. Pineapple Sleeveless Shirt
3. Pineapple Bracelet
4. Pineapple Bride T-Shirt
5. Pineapple Tumbler Cup
6. Pineapple Thank You Cards
7. Be A Pineapple. Stand Tall. Wear a Crown & Be Sweet On The Inside T-Shirt
8. Party Like A Pineapple Hair Ties
9. Pineapple Robe
10. Personalized Pineapple Mug

Bride Tribe Pineapple Trucker Hat

I love trucker hats. I have a whole box of hats somewhere, including a trucker hat with a truck on it. Yeah, I'm that cool. If you like trucker hats, you'll love this bride tribe pineapple trucker hat. The "i" in bride and tribe is a pineapple, which is cute. The bride and her bridesmaids can wear these during her bachelorette party, rock the pineapple, and keep from getting completely sunburned while being completely trendy. Sounds perfect.

Pineapple Sleeveless Shirt

This is top I'm going to pick up for myself because it's so cute and summery. I know your bride would love this pineapple sleeveless shirt. Heck, I know you would too.

Purchase here.

Pineapple Bracelet

This pineapple bracelet is such a cute piece of jewelry that your bride can wear all through wedding planning ... and then after. It's Alex and Ani, which is the brand I gave to my bridesmaids. It'll hold up really well, and, when she's planning and getting frustrated, this will remind her to stand strong.

Purchase here.

Pineapple Bride T-Shirt

I'm a big fan of bride shirts, especially for destination weddings. It's a fun way to be a bride all trip long. This pineapple bride t-shirt is perfect for that. Plus, the pineapple is the "i" and that's so cute to me. If you're throwing a bachelorette party for your bride, this shirt is perfect for her to wear then too.

Purchase here.

Pineapple Tumbler Cup

Brides need to stay hydrated. It's definitely something I kept in mind all through wedding planning. Who wouldn't want to do it in a pineapple tumbler cup? The double wall is a great insulator too, so the bride's drinks will stay cold even after she pours it, answers a few wedding phone calls that are unscheduled, and then gets back to sip it.

Purchase here.

Pineapple Thank You Cards

I'm a big fan of giving thank you cards to a bride so she has them handy. It was so convenient for me when we received a gift out of the blue (which happened quite a bit, actually). So, for your bride, pick her up these pineapple thank you cards. They're cute and perfectly match that bride to be cake topper from before.

Purchase here.

Be A Pineapple. Stand Tall. Wear A Crown And Be Sweet On The Inside t-shirt

Of course, I had to include this Be A Pineapple. Stand Tall. Wear A Crown And Be Sweet On The Inside t-shirt because, really, without this quote there would be no post. You can pick it up in a couple colors, but I like gray the best. It makes the pineapple stand out ... and isn't that what being a pineapple is all about?

Purchase here.

Party Like A Pineapple Hair Ties

I love elastic hair ties. They really hold my hair back well and don't snap like regular elastics do. Eventually, the elastic hair ties will stretch, but eventually a traditional hair tie will snap. I really love these Party Like A Pineapple hair ties. They're so glittery and have a pineapple. So cute!

Purchase here.

Pineapple Robe

Robes are still really popular for wedding photos. This Pineapple Robe is perfect for just that. You can get it in navy, pink, or white, but white is perfect for a bride-to-be.

Purchase here.

Personalized Pineapple Mug

I love personalized gifts, so of course, I love this Personalized Pineapple Mug. What's great it's really customizable. You can choose the color of the tumbler, the text, and you can choose the font too. Since it's completely custom, it does take a little longer than usual to make, so be sure to order it early.

Purchase here.

Wedding Deals And Savings (Current as of August 2018)

As I've mentioned before, I usually don't post deals on the blog. Yes, it's about saving money, but I try to keep deals on Twitter or Facebook because deals expire and posts on this blog last forever. But people were really happy with the wedding deals and savings I posted for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so I decided to put together this monthly post of wedding deals and savings.

It is updated every month with the current deals and coupon codes. The post is separated into three sections: Wedding Stationery Deals, Wedding Deals (for anything other than stationery), and Wedding Freebies.

No matter what you are up to in the planning process, this list is sure to help you out.

BRIDAL BABBLE: What are you looking for savings on?

DIY Travel Humidor

Pete's dad came to visit us this weekend, just as he has every summer since we moved to North Carolina. One of the highlights of the trip, for them anyway, is when they sit on our porch and smoke cigars together. We have cigar shops in town, but Pete's dad brings down his own cigars -- in his own DIY travel humidor.

I thought it was such a good idea, especially for a destination wedding. What if you are traveling and you want to bring your own cigars with you (or bring them back from the wedding location)? This is a lot easier and cheaper than trying to fit an actual humidor in your suitcase.

So, I give you: a DIY travel humidor post.

DIY Travel Humidor

You don't need more than a few items, and you definitely don't need an expensive DIY humidor kit. Instead, you can make this with items you have in your house right now. So this DIY travel humidor can actually cost you absolutely nothing.

What You'll Need:

• 24oz. rectangular plastic container, with lid
• Sponge
• 2 plastic bags
• Cigar cutter
• Rubber band

What You'll Do:

Start with a plastic container. Pete's dad uses a rectangular 24oz. container. You can use whatever you have in your home, but you'll probably end up picking this size.

Why? It is the perfect shape for cigars. You don't want a round container because you will have so much wasted space. The cigars will fit in the middle, leaving each side open for no good reason. You can't go with one that is a square because it could end up being too small for your longer cigars -- and where would you pack your sandwiches?

Rectangle for the win.

Just make sure you pick one that has a matching lid, so you can create an airtight seal.

The most important part of the DIY humidor is the sponge. See, cigars act like sponges and will absorb its surroundings. So, if it is humid, your cigars will absorb the humidity, become moist, and it's game over. But, if you don't have any moisture in your humidor, your cigars will dry out completely and you won't be able to smoke them.

You need something that will act like a sponge -- and what better thing to do that than an actual sponge.

Now, like I said above, chances are you have all these items in your home but I get it. You're thinking, "Lisa, I don't just keep sponges lying around" to which I reply, "Check your kitchen. Pretty sure you use sponges daily to hand wash your dishes."

Take the sponge, wet it, and ring out any excess water. Put it in a small plastic bag and seal it. Then punch holes in the bag so the sponge is exposed to the elements. The amount of holes is relatively non-important, but what is key is to punch holes on both sides of the bag.

Add your cigars and bagged sponge into the container.

Now, what you absolutely don't want to forget is the cigar cutter. Forget that and you have no way to open the cigars to smoke them.

You also need to remember a lighter so you can smoke your cigars too, but I wouldn't keep that in with the cigars themselves. You don't want to accidentally spark them.

Place the cigar cutter in a plastic bag and place it on top of the cigars.

Close the top, add a rubber band for extra protection, and your homemade humidor is ready for traveling.

By comparison, a travel humidor on Amazon will run you over $20 for a case that holds 10 cigars. This is definitely a lot cheaper and makes a lot more sense.

BRIDAL BABBLE: This DIY humidor definitely works if you're trying to transport cigars to a wedding. What do you think about dressing it up, filling it with cigars, and giving it as a groomsman gift?
