    We didn't buy gifts but did games with prizes such as vouchers for costa coffee and nero and personalised love hearts for boobie prizes with my hen party labels stuck on. They ate all 50 of them!

    My mum and i paid for a limo so that was their treat as we didn't include it in the price

    I love these ideas, I want to play games with prizes! Do I know anyone having a Hen do? - No! lol

    It depends on what your budget is and how many hens you have. We stock gifts that would be suitable, we have things such as handbag holders, or engravable mirror compacts, or even hip flasks - all are fully engravable. It does depend on your budget really - especially if you have a lot of hens!

    Do have a look on our website though, as you may get some inspiration within your budget. We are also on facebook and currently have a little competition running to win a £20 voucher for anything on our site

    The details of this are:

    Every fortnight until the end of May we will be giving away a £20 voucher that can be spent on anything on our website. All people need to do to be in with a chance of winning is 'like' our facebook page. The page is https://www.facebook.com/pages/Engraving-Excellence-Beautiful-personalised-gifts-for-any-occasion/149150048487540. Two weeks from now one of our new fans will be selected to receive the first £20 voucher.

    I wasn't going to give any gifts at my hen party, didn't know that was a thing to be honest. There will be about 25 people coming so I really can't afford to! Maybe I will ask the restaurant to provide a glass of fizz for everyone (if I can afford it.)

    Its totally up to you - if you can afford it and would like to then buy them gifts. But I've never had gifts when I've been to hen party and certainly haven't felt hard done by! I don't really see why you have to give gifts to everyone at every turn. I might get a small something for my 2 BMs to say thanks for organising my hen do, but wasn't going to get the others anything. It is a lovely idea, but please don't feel it is necessary!

    I haven't actually got them made yet but resulting to my old faithful eBay. Had a search on there a while back and there were a few sellers who offer personalised keyrings relatively cheaply!

    My plan was to put a big wedge into a kitty to buy the first few drinks although I like the idea of providing fizz. I might do this instead!

    We are off to Ibiza in 4 Weeks (excited), so as a little gift and surprise I have made and personalised beach bags for everybody. They have worked out about £4 each..... Bags from cleverbags, Tranfers from ebay and name keyrings (which i will attach to the handles) also from ebay. I know my hens wont expect anything but just really wanted to give them something as I know how hard they have worked on planning the hen do xx
