original hen night gift

My friends hen weekend is coming up next week and I want to find her a unique gift, not the usual plastic tack you see for sale. I have known her over 18 years, we practically grew up together. So I want something different. I really don't know what to get her and the hen party is next weekend. So I haven't much time. Any inspiration would be welcome, thanks!

    How about a photo album? either by scanning photos and making a book or put them into an album.
    Use old piccies and put your own captions on underneath.
    Or if you're good with the computer (which I'm not :( ) you could play around with the pics so that shes with famous people etc.
    You could perhaps add photos of her hubby to be in the background of a pic? or something similar?
    I did this for a close friend and she loved it!!

    Hope you have a great time.

    i had a hen memory album made for my SIL,in it photos / momentos etc were put of the hen weekend

    https://www.emmas-memories.com made mine but it may be too short notice as i know shes pregnant at the nmo so unsure how much work she is taking on currently

    if you are creative you could make one yourself :)

    or just a general memory album ,of things throughout your friendship :)

    How about a 'little bag of.....whatever your friends name is'. Put in things that you know she likes and are personal to her. I did one of these for my friend, I put in a small bottle of vodka, the chocolate bar she likes, lipstick/gloss colour she wears, tin of spagetti hoops,teabags, photo of both of us, fav magazine...you get the picture. It doesn't have to be expensive but it is thoughtful and something that you really think about that is personal to her.
