    I have a little thank you gift for each of mine although I only had three others there. I made each girl a necklace. It only cost around £10 for all the materials from a little local bead shop and I've made each one a different style/colour.

    I went to a hen party a couple of months ago where one of the hens and the brides sister had put together some gift bags. Mine contained:

    - Jelly sweets

    - willy straw

    - mascara

    - nail varnish

    - mini hair spray

    Then they did a bigger one for the bride with all of the above plus some extras like false lashes. Ours were really good but was helped by the fact the hen was able to blag lots of freebies through work.

    For my away hen do, I got the girls a shot glass with a 'thank you for coming on my hen do, Barcelona etc etc'.

    For my home one, I did pillow boxes filled with a mini lip gloss, mini perfume, bubbles, personalised sweets and a personalised drink stirrer. They went down a treat.

    I didn't give any thank yous. My mum provided a glass of wine for everyone though, which I was going to do had she not already arranged it.

    I paid for lunch on arrival on the first day as most of the girls travelled a long way to be with me Smiley smile

    I did make little goodie bags containing: A hello kitty pen (as I'm known for being obsessed with HK, so this was a bit of a joke on my part), a cupcake shaped lip balm, hotel chocolate goodies and a mini champagne.

    Crikey, I feel terrible. I didn't get my hens anything, didn't realise I had to! I did send them all a thank you card the day we got back. Ooops, I hope they weren't offended. I've never had a pressie at a hen although I've always given a pressie TO the hen.
