How about a poem/story that has gifts that go with it? Something like this...
First thing in the morning,
What I like best,
Is a kiss from my honey,
But NOT with that Breath!!!
The gift with this section of the poem could be teeth brushing apparel (ie: personlized toothbrushes or a pair of electric toothbrushes, along with things like toothpaste, mouthwash, dental floss, breath spray, etc). Then, on with the poem...
Oh, that was nice,
I feel more empowered!
I'm out of bed,
and off to get showered.
The gift for this section could be bubble bath/shower gels/soaps/powders, soft & cozy bath towels, a fantastic messaging shower head, shower curtain/bathroom accesories, etc. Then, on with the poem...
Careful not to wake hubby,
I tiptoe so softly,
off to the kitchen,
to make us some coffee.
You're probably getting the idea by now but, for this section the gift could be a pair of nice coffee mugs/specialty coffee, a coffee maker or a better coffee maker if they already have one. Of course, you can just change up the poem or gifts if they are tea drinkers or hot chocolate drinkers, whatever. On we go again...
The coffee is good,
and I might make muffins,
then it's back to bed for lots more lovin'!!!
Gifts could include some homemade muffin-in-a-jar premade muffin mixture or a few favorite muffin recipes done up nicely or a muffin recipe book. As for the "back to bed" part, maybe some lingerie, massage oils/lotions, book about massage, etc.
Hope that triggers some ideas for you. You could of course, adjust the poem accordingly and add, change, or leave out gifts according to your budget, the brides likes/dislikes, needs, etc.

What about a little basket with breakfast/brunch goodies? You might be able to put in champagne glasses and a mimosa recipe, maybe some utensils/cookware for making pancakes and waffles and whatnot, maybe a couple of nice plates/bowls, nice napkins, etc. for a cozy breakfast for two. Or maybe some coffee/hot cocoa mugs with some gourmet coffee/hot cocoa and a cozy blanket for cuddling up in the mornings while they read the morning paper. You could even do something that maybe has some nice trays for breakfast in bed with plates/mugs and a nice warm blanket for sleeping in. You might be able to do some nice bath/shower products (they have a wedding set at www.philosophy.com that smells like champagne bubbles, wedding cake, etc.) and some his-and-hers/monogrammed towels for a morning shower together. And if your budget allows for it, what about a couple of nice robes for them? Of course, if they are, um..."sleeping in" together, she could always use some lingerie and the like.

I think a breakfast tray with handles, place on that items like bag of coffeebeans with a coffee grinder( most people have a coffee maker) get one of those stainless steel cream containers. A set of matching mugs(His & hers) maybe even a nice frying pan, spatula, and a box of pancake mix, and a fancy bottle of syrup. And decorate inbetween with a set of kitchen towels.
good luck

Coffeemaker, complete with the filter and some coffee. Maybe a bean grinder too. Or a wafflemaker. Or an alarm clock.

Think a little out of the box. Why not get her something like lingerie and things of that nature? Nothing like waking up and getting the day off to a good start!! She will probably get all the kitched stuff for her wedding anyway.

How about one of those trays which have four short legs, and are designed for breakfast in bed? I love those showers. People really get to show their creativity.

Everytime I've been to one of those showers, people haven't stuck with which time they were assigned. But you could get them pillows, blankets, coffee maker, etc. Check their registry.

Bath towel, coffee maker, waffle maker, robe or anything else that you use in the morning.
Check her gift registry.
