Best friend (the one with the best wedding I'd ever been to) gave her bridesmaids Levenger goodie bags.
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

I can't even.
I gave U2 tickets to my best man and his wife (that I stood in line for two days to get). I don't remember what I gave my buddy who was the usher. His wife, the minister, we gave an antique hurricane lamp. I wasn't as involved in the decision-making on that last, as the first.

This morning while I was telling Leif to put on his underwear (we're in the middle of potty training), he responded with "Ok, Babycake". I'm not sure why he called me "Babycake".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Has he been sneaking Angel reruns? Sounds a bit Hosty.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Anyone else remember when bridal and baby showers were iced tea and munchies on someone's porch and the women in your family got you dishtowels or onesies respectively?
Totally. Most of the showers I've been to have been basically a lot like a tea party. This is why multiples seem natural to me - you might have one that's mostly the old ladies who were your grandmother's close friends or something, and maybe a different one for relatives or the groom or for people who are your own contemporaries, etc. And appropriate gifts tend to be along the lines of kitchen gadgets or notepaper, unless there a specific theme involved. But still, nothing that would be a big deal for anyone to buy, or make them feel like they're on the hook for two wedding presents.

To be perfectly honest, I'm not even sure I've heard about it (but my brain today is a big pile o' undercaffeinated sludge.)
It's just a learning styles test, rather like the millions of personality tests we've all taken and loved. It's just that for one of the styles, in addition to the likes (facts, details, knowing what's next) there were the dislikes, which included "role-playing" (causing me to do a silent "AMEN!"). Not that roleplaying in education has the same "ooh, let's embarrass someone!" goal of those sorts of games, but to me it's got the same "pointless time-wasting pretend-we're-having-fun" feel to it.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Whimper. I gave my bridesmaids amethyst earrings. Real amethysts, but not expensive. We gave the groomsmen small spyderco knives (one of which I still have because the groomsman in question was flying home without checked luggage and I haven't gotten around to mailing it to him). I was a bad bride. I'd better never get married again.
We were invited to the wedding of the couple's shower people, but we didn't go because it was in Mississippi the first weekend of JazzFest. Who plans a wedding like that?
