"Time of day" bridal shower gift ideas

I was recently invited to my cousin's bridal shower.  It was a "Time of day" shower and I got 10 am assigned to me.  What in the world do you do for 10 am.  During the week that could mean that you are already at work, but maybe not because what if they have a later shift.  However, on Saturday or Sunday maybe at 10 am you are lounging around in bed having a lazy Saturday or Sunday.  This is how I think through everything.  Do you think I over think things?!  

I thought about doing something with brunch, but then I saw on Pinterest somewhere to do something for her car.  Usually during bridal showers you do not get anything for cars.  For most woman that is not the the most fun thing to get, but it is usually not the most fun thing to have to buy.  So instead of possibly duplicating a gift by doing something with brunch I went with the car thing.

After I got thinking about it I decided to make a list for all the hours in a day.  That way I have a place that I can reference for the next time I am assigned a time for a shower with this theme.  So don't overthink it when you get a shower invite for a "Time of Day" bridal shower.  Instead, use this list.
