There's a candle basket you can make, similar to the wine one you mentioned.
This link has the poem, and the supplies needed.

Fun Bridal Shower Gifts

First, sometimes bridesmaids go into a gift together and instead of getting her a few smaller items, they combine their money to buy one big item like the pot and pan set or professional mixer. I would ask the Maid of Honor if there is any plan like this. Second, you can always go the registry route. It's the most common and this way you can be sure you get something she likes (she picked it!) and you can choose what to spend (most brides register for an assortment of things in different price ranges). But you can always go for something original. You are her best friend and you are a bridesmaid so do you know of something she needs/wants that you can help with? One of my bridesmaids was in town for the shower and i happened to be picking up my wedding shoes the day she was with me. While there she sprang for the matching handbag for me. It's not something I would have spent money on for myself but it was something I loved and not something anyone else would have thought to get for me. Does your bride have her toasting glasses, her throw garter or her cake set? As for a wedding gift, most people (speaking from my own personal experience) give cash for the wedding gift. Few will want to walk into a reception w/ a wrapped gift so they will put some cash or a check in a card for the couple. If you don't like that idea you can go the gift certificate route. Find out where they are going on a honeymoon and get them a gift certificate for couples massages, to a show or for a good dinner. Most people spend what the couple spent on their plate at the wedding (within reason, if a couple has a $250/head wedding no one is expected to give that much in return). Between $50-$100 per person is appropriate if you can afford it.

The kitchen is my go-to place when I'm stumped. Since you're going to her shower, I assume you're a close friend of hers. What does she like? Just as random examples, you could get her a crockpot or a mini crockpot with a small recipe book. A fondue set with small recipe book. If she likes coffee, get her a few bags of gourmet coffee and some nice mugs. Does she have a smoothie maker? They're fun and inexpensive, and lots of cookbooks out there. The only tricky part is trying to make the gift for both of them, but it can still be done.
