Inspired by the thread of DIY things. I would like to make my own thank you gifts.

Any ideas what I can do?

My bridesmaids are all having earrings to match mine, and my MoH is having a bracelet as well. Not sure what the Best Man is getting, thinking that the mums will get a ncie bouquet each and the Ushers a nice bottle of something fizzy!:beer:

Thanks for this thread, I am in the same predicament at the moment....8 weeks to go and at a loss!! We have so many people helping us out (and saving us huge amounts of money) so we really want to get everyone who's helping us something. And making something is a much nicer idea as it comes from the heart, BUT it's so hard to think of what to make!

I have got my bridesmaid a costmetic bag customised along with the two mums!
I am also getting my bridesmaid some beauty products probably Liz Earle, no idea for the bestman though

I got my adult bridesmaids a jewellery roll each from Not On The High Street, the littly is getting a nice book (as yet undecided!). I have no idea about anyone else, especially my 12 and 13 year old brothers (looking to spend about £10). For my mum and stepdad we will probably do an IOU (in a nice way!) as we are going to visit one of their fabvourite potteries in Cornwall when we are on honeymoon and I know they would love something from there. Flowers not very practical for my mum as they are travelling by train.

I got some nice handpainted money boxes on ebay for my page boys with little boys on them, she co-ordinated their hair and kilt colour too, were lovely. Might be good for your girls? I had 6 flower girls/page boys and made them all activity boxes to keep them amused. Also got the girls wee ceramic love hearts with their names, flowergirl and date on. They also got jewellery.
Got FIL a bottle of vodka and got a personalised label for it from ebay. Mums got flowers.
My dad got an engraved money holder, 'To remember the day you gave me, and all your money, away!'. :rotfl:
BMs got engraved photo frames and cant remember what else.

We have got our Best maid and bet man personalised glasses. Got them off ebay and the girl has done a fantastic job. They are painted to our specification i.e. dress/kilt, hair, shoes, skin colour. I would really reccomend using her.

Our daughter is our flowergirl, we got her silver personalised trinket box. Again off ebay and really cheap and beautiful.

Our other 2 bridesmaid, 1 our other daughter, wanted money to buy new jeans and a t-shirt, so thats what she got. The other 1, I am waiting for her trinket box to be delivered. Again off ebay and it is ivory pearalised and says Bridesmaid in diamontes along it.

Our son is our pageboy and he is getting personalised chocolate. My brother is giving me awaya dn I am looking at personalised money holders for him, from guess where. Yes, you got EBAY:rotfl:.

I was going to get our parents olive trees, put them in nice pots and decorate with ribbon (can also be used as decoration at the venue then). Maybe you could do something similar, lavendar are quite easy to grow if you've got enough time? Thought a plant would be a nice reminder over flowers as they don't last very long. HTH
