Inspiration needed please!

Hi there,
I'm a bridesmaid for my sister-in-law-to-be and it's her hen do on Friday ... we're going to a Spa Hotel in Chelsea and going for a picnic on Saturday - can't wait! Anyway, one of the things we're doing is buying the bride-to-be gifts of up to £10 ... I want to get her something really thoughtful and tasteful (no willy chocolates or vibrators (even tasteful ones!) I'm afraid!) ... but I'm really struggling to think of anything. :confused: I've asked on the weddings board too ... but I know that the dfw board has loads of creative types who might just give me the inspiration I need!:D

Thanks! x

    When my cousin got married I got her a photo album and asked around friends and family for old photos.

    We covered from childhood, through school and even included photo's of the wedding dress fittings and then put a note in explaining that the blank pages were for her and her husband to fill with their memories of their life together.

    She loved it!

    aw, both those sound lovely ... I was thinking of a photo album actually - we're doing a scrapbook for the hen do itself which we'll get everyone to write in over the weekend, but a photo album would complement that nicely ...

    Hi!

    I had to do this recently, I bought:

    A gin minature and small bottle of tonic water

    http://www.lush.co.uk/products/SWALK_-_Tisty_Tosty_3069.aspx - £3.50 from Lush

    and a box of revitalising teabags! http://www.whittard.co.uk/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=102582&cid=t1301&language=en-GB - £2.25 from Whittard

    So your bride-to-be can have a pampering bath with a G&T, and then a nice perk me up cuppa the morning after!
