ideas please present for the bride £10 budget

mumto2loves

Hi

I'm going to a friends hen weekend. The bridesmaid that is organising it all had emailed saying

" i'd like us to bring a small hen related present (maximum budget £10) e.g something to wear on the hen do, a garter, fluffy handcuffs, anything you can think of special you think she'd like!"


I've had a look on ebay for ideas but all the 'hen do' tat is only £1 odd. Theres 10 of us going so thats a whole load of tat if we all go and buy £10 worth!! :rotfl:


Any ideas of something a bit more special nearer the top end of the budget please?

How about more of a keepsake item- like a photo album that you can then add photos of the night after, or a personalised wine glass that she could use on the night and then keep after.

You could club together? Personally I'd rather receive something lovely like a nice piece of luggage for the honeymoon or a piece of jewelry to wear on the day than £100 worth of tat!

i agree with both of you!

we have already been asked for old photos of us with the bride to make a photo book to give her at the do, then photos taken at the do are going to be put in a book and given on the wedding day.
decorations have been planned, as have t shirts for us all.....
this £10 gift is an(other) extra.:lipsrseal

How about a keep sake box for her to keep all her bits from her do in? Or how about some personalised badges or something like that?

What are the actual plans for the evening?

How about a themed photo frame? Something like this (though I'm sure there are nicer ones out there!) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Celebrations-Glass-Photo-Frame-Black/dp/B006WQA13M/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1359296007&sr=8-13

what really helped when we got married was taking some time out as a couple away from the planning which can get stressful and overwelming! you could treat her and her partner to something as a couple if you club together or if you want something for just her pampering in my opinion is lovely
