What can I get her that isn't raunchy or nasty, she is a bit conservative and I don't want to make her feel uncomfortable. I know one of the other girls from the office is getting her some candles and the other one is getting her lingerie.
We don't hang out or anything outside of work either.

A gift card to Victorias secret is always nice. That way she can pick something out herself. If you don't like giving gift cards then you can get this shimmer powder with match lotion or fragrance, a lot of brides come in looking for the shimmer powder. They also carry these little bags that have things written on them you could put a lotion and a gift card in there thats a cute idea. Or you could get her a lotion, body spray and wash. There 3 for 25 or 6 for 30 most of the time. and brides like to really pamper themselves before the big day. If you wanted to do the six for thirty I would go with the spray, wash, lotion, scrub(its a sugar scrub that exfoliates the skin and will help make her feel super soft),Bubble bath(to help her relax), and then you could get something for you. the top sellers are romantic wish, love spell, and pure seduction. these are all called garden products. they make a great gift and sometimes people say well what if they don't like that smell, well they can always come in to exchange it. Also make sure you give a gift reciept. I think this is the perfect gift a good price for you and a great gift for the bride to be! Good luck

Do you know anyone you might be able to ask about a registry? I have found this to be the best way to buy gifts, whether for someone I've known for a while or for someone I don't know all that well - because it ensures that I got something they wanted, and also, if people follow the process properly, it avoids them getting alot of the same thing. Otherwise, if you can't find a registry, I would probably go for a nice photo frame or two. I am sure they'll have many moments from their happy day they'd like to share, and frames are always a thoughtful gift before a wedding.

I think something along the lines of lingerie and candles is a good idea. How about some bath gel, etc.? Get a cute basket of that sort of stuff. Usually, unless the shower is a theme shower, most people bring something a little personal for the bride.

If you can find out where she is registered, it might help, it would give you some ideas on what her style is. It gives you the option of buying something off the registry, or finding something elsewhere in a similar style.
If the shower isn't a surprise, ask the bride. Or the hostess of the shower, who might know, or could refer you to someone who does know.
It is difficult to buy a present for someone when you have never been to their house, or know them outside of work.
This might be the time for a gift card from the local upscale department store.
One of my friends got a box of kitchen gadgets, measuring cups and spoons, melon baller, tongs, the like. A box of bar gadgets, if you know she drinks alcohol would be cute, too.
Is she setting up a household for the first time? Picking out a present just got a lot easier, if she is. Things I got that I love: a casserole dish that came with a stainless steel decorative holder. Just pop in the dish straight out of the oven, and you have handles, so you and guests don't have to touch a hot dish. A set of baking dishes: I still have the loaf pan of one, and I use it a lot. I have a set of Corningware ones, too. They came with glass and plastic lids, so I can stow them in the refrig after the meal. A set of Teflon skillets: I use them for omelets, heating things up, mine were not a boxed set, they were off the rack.

This isn't my actual answer, but why worry? If you're co-workers and not close friends, why is she inviting you to the bridal shower? For the gift? (Seriously, I hope the actual reason is just to be friendly!)
Picture frames and photo albums are always safe. Or you could get something a bit more personal like a pretty hand mirror or a nice ring holder (for when you wash your hands, you know).
Have a good time and I hope you win one of those horrible games!

do not anticipate the luncheon is the present because of the fact travelers to showers continually deliver a present day as this is while the bride's new house is adorned/presented. so which you will get presents and that i don't think of you're grasping. i think of you purely choose to do the suited element. right this is what i could do. i could have her invite your bridesmaids and MOH as they're many times continually invited to all the showers. Then i could ask her to ask whoever she concept could choose to return from artwork. leave that area of the targeted visitor record as much as her. That way, while it comes time for the marriage, you have not been in contact interior the call of the human beings attending the bathe.

You could try a gift card from a restaurant that she might like along with a gift pass for the nearest movie theater. It would give her and her fiance a night out without the expense of having to pay for it themselves.
This way, you're being considerate of who she is, and she is grateful for not feeling uncomfortable with a tacky gift.
Good luck!

Nice vase, picture frame, those things where you put a candle on the bottom and melt a smelly good tart on the top, basket ie. Longeberger, photo album, stationary with a nice pen, sign with her "to be" last name for the front door, decorative figurine, "his" n "her" bath towels, nice bottle of wine, wedding scrapbook.

i would try maybe a gift certificate to bed bath and beyond or something similar.... i'm sure she will appreciate it and be able to purchase something she wants for her home... then you don't need to worry about getting a fragrance that she doesn't like or something she won't use

Whenever the people of our country knows someone that is going to get married, we get them one of those mini-purses. We usually get them in the color gold.
