Bridal shower season is upon us, and you know what that means: another afternoon of pastel decorations, awkward games, and watching the happy couple open yet another set of towels. Don’t get me wrong—towels are great. Blenders are useful. Salad bowls have their place. But let’s be honest: after the tenth gift off the registry,
