Mortgage-free Glee!
in Weddings & anniversaries
My daughter is marrying in 8 weeks. They are both students, and have managed to book a couple of nights away in a country house hotel for wedding night that's got jacuzzi bath etc...
I am wanting to put together a treats hamper for them to take with them (well, I'll leave it at the venue to be placed in their room).
So far I have got, bottle of champagne, glasses, 'wedding day' Yankee candle, bath bombs. Any other thoughts as to what could go in. (She is vegi and dairy free).
Thanks in advance :)

    Things that the couple like - I'm sure you know her well enough to come up with a few - maybe a favourite chocolate/sweets, dvd/music/books (if she's into that), whatever she enjoys and won't be able to afford due to wedding/student life.

    There's a book along the lines of "Bucket list for couples", maybe a nice idea for them to plan adventures for their future together.


    If the hotel they're staying at does spa treatment, maybe you could treat them to a treatment (e.g. couples massage), and put a "voucher" in the hamper to let them know about the treat. If it doesn't do spa treatments, maybe you could pay for a meal at the hotel or nearby restaurant

    No need to overdo it - she'll have had an overwhelming day anyway with lots of people and gifts

    when my friend married a couple of years ago we put a gift bag in the room. it contained . . .

    sudoku book(so they didn't get bored)
    sweeties - in case they needed a pick me up
    scissors(her dress was a corset back and her mother had tied it VERY securely)
    sticky stuff remover( stick on bra)
    candle
    plus rose petals on the bed

    so it was more silly than pampering, but they really liked it!

    I think you should gift them some scented soaps or aromatic bath oils, these are in trend these days.
