    If you decide to do little wine bottles for the ladies, Tesco's have the 2 for £3 deal on mini wine bottles, or morrisons have the 4 for £5 on the same bottles. Which brings those onto budget!

    why just the men? if my boyfriend got one and i didn't i know who would end up with it!


    I agree, I thought it was strange when I read the original post. OH getting a miniature and me getting chocs :(

    OK they're free, but it is gender stereotyping. Maybe ask your friends and some of the potential guests, see what they think.
