Is this a bad gift? Christian ladies, I need your input!

Question

I have this friend - we've been best friends since the 3rd grade. She was never religious when we were younger. I moved away for a few years and came back to her being super Christian (specifically Baptist). It was odd, but I left a Christian and became a Witch within a few months of moving back home, so we both went through huge religious changes. It's driven us apart a little, but we're still close friends. But point being, she's getting married in September and I'm going to be one of her bridesmaids :)
.
With that in mind, I've found a passion for herbalism. I discovered a wonderful aphrodisiac liqueur recipe - for a super special night of romance. My friend still drinks on occasion, but I know she and her SO have been refraining from sex until marriage. So I thought this liqueur would be a great wedding gift. I'd make it once, try it out myself to make sure it's safe (and tastes good) and then I'd make one for her as a wedding gift. There wouldn't be any rituals or Witchcraft involved in it - all it really is is various herbs, vodka, rose water, spring water and chocolate. 
. 
But she knows I'm a Witch and really doesn't agree with it, so even though there isn't any Witchcraft going in to the gift, I'm not sure if she'd like it considering the nature of it and the fact that I (a witch) made it. 
.
What do you think? If you were in her situation would you even want something like this? Or should I just think of something else? I can't just ask her cuz I want it to be a surprise :/

Answer

Honestly if I was given it I wouldn't use it. I dont mean to be offensive but just stick with her registry.

Answer

Idk... She would honestly probably appreciate it mainly because of the thought you put into it but she may be a little uneasy about using it.

Answer

If you are having a transition/growth  period in your friendship this type of gift should be discussed so she doesn't feel you are trying to" trick" her or try to convert her into your beliefs. When you say witch you already know what comes to mind to most people so just tell your friend how you told us. If you are really friends acceptance or tolerance for each other's lifestyle should be a given. Or if your paths have changed and that sends you in opposite directions it may be for a reason. You can care for someone and not agree or condone their choices. I think your intentions are good , but you both need to be on the same page at least before you give her any concoction she may not want to indulge in. Wishing the best for you both -friendships are beautiful but a two way street 💛

Answer

Update! Incase anyone was curious, I did decide to ask my friend about it. She said she'd wanna try it out before the wedding. I have a batch mellowing now, so we have a date set next month when we're going to test it out.

I'm testing it out with her because I might want something like it for me lol

Thank you all for your input!! I greatly appreciate it~

Answer

I wouldn't present it as anything related to your spirituality. Just as a gift from one friend to another. If she asks why that you can tell her its to spice up her wedding night and no harm was intended.

Answer

I think it's a great idea. You could write in the card that there was no witchcraft involved in making it. Just in case she thinks what you are thinking she may.

Answer

I personally think that it would make her feel unsure and awkward. You could go with a conventional aphrodisiac gift basket though! Chocolate, wine, etc.

Answer

Wouldn't do this.
1, her and her soon to be husband could be allergic to something in the mixture.
2, even tho your not technically using the craft in making it, you still are(kitchen witchcraft).
3, She could take it wrongly

Good luck and blessings to you dear

Answer

I would hope that she could see past the fact that you're a witch and just accept it because you, her friend, made it for her for her special night. If you do end up making it for her, tell her that this isn't a witchy potion or something, just a little something for her special night. (I'm a witch too, or at least trying to learn, and I understand that people are very judgemental about it even thought they usually have no clue what it's about.)

Answer

I think its a nice gift. I'd love the recipe too!!
