If you are in charge of hosting a bridal shower, you might want to consider going classic with your theme - an Around the Clock bridal shower. If you ask around, you shouldn't be surprised to find that your mother or your grandmother knows friends who have thrown a shower to this theme. It's a classic because as fun and functional as it is, it deserves to be one. Those who haven't heard of this theme are often mystified by the name. What on earth could it be about exactly - clocks?
The theme actually is quite descriptive of what it involves. Each guest that you invite, you give them a specific hour of the day to theme their gift to. For instance, if someone gets 7 AM in the morning, they need to find a gift that the bride could use at 7 AM in the morning - perhaps a toaster or a coffee maker. Someone who gets a midnight hour gets to buy something thoughtful like a bathrobe or a duvet (or something unthoughtful and naughty).

So how exactly does one go about planning for this? You can start by putting together a guest list, and trying to think about who exactly is likely to attend. Whoever you feel might be kind of iffy about attending, you can mark with a highlighter pen or something. Those who live out of town are usually the ones who get highlighted.
Each Around the Clock bridal shower guest doesn't have to be assigned a specific "on-the-hour" hour. In-between hours could do too. What you don't need to do is to use all 24 hours of the clock. What would anyone have to buy for 3 AM (unless they expected the bride to be incredibly naughty all the time)? Some hours of the day happen to have way more gift possibilities than others too. For instance, there are a lot more gift possibilities for around nine at night than there are for, say, 11 in the morning. You could in fact, jam a lot of people in the useful hours and give the rest of the hours to just a couple of people.
An Around the Clock bridal shower isn't supposed to be entirely about the gifts, of course. It's also about how you theme the decor and the food. Parties are always catered for the hour of the day they are held in. Since this happens to be a clock-related shower, you could cater it with foods that would go with wildly different times of the day - breakfast foods like a fruit salad mixed together with grilled chicken and steak and chicken wings could be fun. You could decorate the table with little clock centerpieces and arrange everything in a clocklike pattern.
