The shower is called an Around the Clock Shower. Guests are assigned a time of day and asked to bring a gift that would be used at that time.
I'm assigned 4:00 p.m. I am not creative enough for this. Please help a girl out here! What gift should I give?
UPDATE:
You have great ideas! I went with the cookie theme. I used her registry to buy the mixing bowls and measuring spoons she asked for and added in a bag of chocolate chips. I will photocopy her grandmother's chocolate chip cookie recipe too. I think it will be cute.
Thanks so much for the fabulous ideas!

How about a panini maker or something like that for afternoon snacks.

something sexy for the bedroom. It's always the right time for hanky panky with newlyweds!

And I'm going to state, just because I'm an old stick-in-the-mud, I can't stand being told what to give at showers.

OMG, I hate those types of things. I am not creative, and quite frankly, at 4:00, I am at work, as is DH.

I happen to love these around the clock showers. Helps narrow down my choices! I'd give something fun related to snacks like a popcorn popper, flavorings and bowls or a cookie jar and a cookie cookbook.

Is there a registry? I like to give things I know they want and need. Maybe something can be tied in with the time of day?
Adding- maybe a cookbook, subscription to a recipe site or app for meal planning?

How about a small cooler with your favorite "tools" that you would use to make dinner ? I've given this gift numerous times in a big cooler and always went over very well.
