Help with favours please??

My OH suggested we get lipbalm for the ladies, which we have done (thought I better listen to one of his suggestions ? ), it was £1.60 ish per personalised pot - but minimum order was 20 I think. Ladies are much easier to buy for than men in my opinion - candles, chocolate, soaps, handcream, seeds for the garden, wine glass trinket thing.

Loving the cigar thing - we have cigars to give to them men but I never even thought about doing them as favours - my OH bought them back from his travels last year and they were dirt cheap.... So perhaps try to find someone who is going abroad?

Sounds like a fab idea.. how about miniature bottles of wine.. anything ive wanted that Ive not been able to find I have done a search on bay of e or google..

What bout mini bottles of Baileys http://www.justminiatures.co.uk/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&keyword=baileys&tid1=Google&tid2=Baileys_Miniatures oooh or these in the sale http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Vintage+Marque+Miniature+lantern+with+Baileys/139645391,default,pd.html?cm_mmc=Googlebase-_-Christmas-_-Christmas_At_Home-_-Vintage_Marque_Miniature_lantern_with_Baileys

Or what about small bottles of wine? Asda and the like do little bottles 3 for £5 i think

I'd have thought cigars were a bit useless to any non-smokers attending?

Asda sell small bottles of wine and cava, they are usually 3 bottles for £5 ?

Just a thought but for anything alcohol-related you might need to check your T&C's from your venue in case they charge corkage. I've came across a couple of places that charge (even for favours!) during my venue-searching. Something that started good value for money could quickly become a large expense if they charge you extra!

I've found that even non-smokers will have a cigar once in a while if its a special occasion.

I think cigars are a great idea. We're thinking about making candles for the ladies, not too expensive and a bit personal.

Thanks ladies lots of good ideas here! As we are having a small wedding we know all the lads really well and all of them enjoy a wee cheekly cigar! Just need to get the ladies sorted now!!!

So why do we bother with favours in the first place? After all, if you're spending out all that money entertaining, feeding and watering your guests all day, why should you give them something else? What's wrong with a lump of wedding cake wrapped in a serviette like it used to be?
