HELP, Ideas needed for sister's wedding hamper/gift

rinroo

My sister goes abroad in two weeks to get married but unfortunatly due to various reason's we cannot go with her.

I want to put together a small hamper of things to either give her before she flies out or for her to open whilst out there, just so she knows we're thinking of her and wishing we were there!.

But I need ideas as to what to put in it...

Can you help?

Maybe some 'pamper' goodies such as facemasks, hand and feet creams, mosquito cream (if she is travelling somewhere warm??) Does she have a favourite chocolate or tea brand? It might be nice to pack some of them for any stressful wedding moments?
A mixed CD or playlist of songs that remind you of times together might be a nice gift to include also?

Hope this has helped a little!

Nice smellies & chocs are a great idea. How about including a traditional silver six pence as well for her shoe or something blue like a hanky or something so she'll be able to think of you all.

You know what I always do when it is someones anniversary/wedding I contact the airline and see if I can get any free/cheap bubbly for a flight (didn't manage for my friend but they did get a lovely message on the flight), I do the same with the hotel and travel company. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

Lots of airlines and holiday companies now allow you to buy champagne etc so I'm sure you could do it and arrange for it to be served inflight or be waiting at the hotel. I have bought things for my parents before and they have loved it.

Past times have some nice stuff. There's a 2011 photoframe for £3.75, a little something she could keep. A beaded pen to sign the register with. £3.00
A keepsake box (you could put some of your presents in there too. £15 or so. Or howabout a necklace she can wear on the day?
