In desperate need of Ideas (O/T)

So I am throwing my sister a bridal shower March 15th. I am making homemade favor bags but I don't know what to put in them. Anyone have any ideas?

Also I am throwing her Bachlorette party April 5th and need some ideas for the little gifts as well.

Any ideas would help a ton!! My brain doesn't seem to function well since being pregnant....I hear this is normal. LOL

Thanks ladies.

Oh, I've never been good at this kind of thing. Candy? Hair accessories? Bath stuff?
I don't think I'm much help. Hopefully one of the other ladies will have some good ideas.

Good luck, Crysti!

Boy I dont know! That is tough.
I think I would try doing a google search for "bridal shower gifts" or "bridal shower favors" or something like that and see what comes up. You would be surprised what you can find online. ;P
Hopefully you can find some good ideas! GL!!

What about small votive candles? Or some Hershey's kisses...you shouldn't have a problem finding them being that easter is coming!
For the bachelorette...what about small flowering plants...like African violets? If you can find them in a greenhouse or something like it...

Hand lotion, bath bombs,etc.. I guess it depends on how much you want to spend per bag.
Bath and Body works always have those sales where you buy 3 hand washes for $10.00 they also sell purse sized anti bacterial hand sanatizers (I love their scents..everytime I go to the States I buy a bunch of hand soap (ususally because a list of people want me to bring it back for them too)...
And like Dawn Marie said - with Easter coming up - chocolate should be an easy find...every women likes chocolate! and candles..and smelly stuff... : )

Good Luck

lurking from DIMarch

i think those fizzing bath balls, bath salts or a pretty shaped soap would be cute to put in the bag. or i've seen this somewhere, a cookie cutter in the shape of a heart with a recipe for a type of cookies
depending on what type of bachelorette party your having, you can find some good things at Bachelorette .com - Bachelorette Party Supplies
