  • I guess I'm the only one who came here with the wrong intentions. This section and the thread title was rather tempting, I must admit :D

    Anyway, if its her 18th, why not spend a little bit of money? Assuming her friends are roughly the same age, are you sure goodie bags are the best thing? Just get 'em some cheap vodka. I'm sure they will enjoy it more.
    Thought for the day: each generation of mankind tends to hug the illusion of having reached the culmination of human achievement. Yet, as we scoff at our groping ancestors, so our descendants will surely scoff at us.

  • I'm not sure on writing to companies, but like OP said if most of her friends are around the same ages make them fun, Places like poundland have funky Shot glasses you could give them one each, few bottles of drink If they are going out treat them to a take away of her choice so you know they have all eaten before hitting the town.

    companies though it depends on what your looking for, i've never personally done that but maybe try some of the big alcohol companies see if you can get some Small samples - they often have noveltys aswell, such as beer matts etc,

    for more girly stuff maybe throw them a Bodyshop party before they go out, that way they all get there make up done to perfection :) Search online for the partys ive never had one but thhey are meant to be good!

  • Simple and Nivea are great for sending our samples if you ask nicely. You could give Avon a go to.
