Done loads of time before, but please inspire me for thank you gifts

boogiebelle, 27 June, 2009 at 11:16 Posted on Planning 0 6

What are you getting everyone?

I can't afford to spend that much but want something they can keep but something special too.

So far, have ordered best mans and got one bridesmaid tickets to a concert but need to think of other things for the other ones.

Any advice appreciated

TIA

    Hi,

    Not sure if this is any good to you or not but I have a 3 for 2 offer on all bridesmaids items. You can either chose from the range I have on my site or have something made to your requirements.

    Let me know if I can help out at all

    We got our bridesmaids jewellry from the lovely Purrfect Gems and I'm going to make them up a goody bag with other little bits in.

    Our ushers and best man have cufflinks from a website I couldn't possible mention ?

    Our mums have photo frames from Next.

    My dad has a personalised business card holder.

    His dad is more more practical and he has a posh swiss army knife.

    I have got my bridesmaids (my 2 sisters) these:

    (there are 3 of us altogether, so liked the 3 linked rings on it)


    I have one of these for my flower girl:


    And these for my page boys:


    I think the picture's too small to show, but there is a picture of a dinosaur and then the boys names turned into dinosaur names (e.g. Samosaurus).

    I got all of these things from www.notonthehighstreet.com, which has got some lovely things on. I'm still stumped for the other presents though!

    For BM got a lovely compact mirror, quite a unique design from a little local shop.

    For Usher (my brother) got some books.

    For pageboy a watch.

    Parents - a photo frame and for my parents also a printer (I know it sounds bizarre - long story).

    My bm's gift is the jewellery that they are wearing on the day, and am planning to make up a small "rescue/goody" bag for the day.

    I have a friend doing a reading for me and I have ordered her a sweetie hamper as she is a sweetaholic from here https://www.handycandy.co.uk/sweet-hampers-c-1.html?HCid=5c9a7cec0993905866931882b867dc3d

    Not sure about the parentals yet, I would like to get my mum and stepdad something really nice as they are spending a lot of money on our wedding, and I know it sounds mean, but I dont think we would be getting as big a gift for the oh's mum, so I think we will just give them flowers and wine on the day, and do something for my mum and stepdad after.

    My bil is my photographer, and doing it for free as our wedding gift so I need to think of something for him too and the bm ??!

    I need inspiration too obviously! lol
