Hello ladies!
I have been put in charge of games/ prizes for my friends shower. I have the games all set, but now I need some ideas for prize gifts. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much
The best one I ever got was a $5 gift card to Target. If you're not doing a ton of games it's a great way to go. Also most Target stores now have a $1 section right as you walk in. Lots of cute fun stuff there. Ok well this is starting to sound like an add for Target so I should stop.
;-)
Gift cards to anywhere. Starbucks, Jamba Juice, Peets, etc you can get $5 ones so more to go around.
The last shower I went to had a few different ones, gift cards and little lotions and bath stuff from Bath and Body Works. Very cool.
At my baby shower the gal in charge gave away really sweet little handpainted picture frames (bees and bean vines), fridge magnets made from little magazine cut outs with pics of babies and baby sayings, and seed packages for different kinds of beans (cuz the theme was The Lil'Bean.)
Candles are always great if there is a theam things that match the theam would be fun also
Hi Sara! I agree candles, B&B lotions (the little purse size), photo frames, little albums and those $5-10 gift cards to places like Starbucks, Jamba Juice, Cold Stone are all really great ideas.
I threw my sisters shower and we also did a raffle for "bigger" prizes. All the $$ for the tickets went into the babies first piggy. That was a great way to get the babies savings started.
Have fun!
Hello Sara,
What about little coupon books geared towards moms. I have seen them at Hallmark Stores and in other specialty gift shops and book stores. They have coupons in them such as, "this entitles you to a day of no dishwashing! The kids and hubby will do them today!" and other coupons are for things like, "this coupon is good for eating dinner out tonight! No cooking by mom tonight!" Thngs along those lines. They are really fun gift ideas and us moms appreciate and use them!! Have fun--I love baby showers! P.S. I bought a coupon book for moms for my girlfriend at Hallmark I think it was $8.00.
Here is just few to start:
- Small/travel size hand lotions
- Special home made cookies or candies packed in clear cellophane bag
- Scented candles
- Picture frames
- Fridge magnets
Anything small, inexpensive and practical or at least sweet :)
