    Hi guys I'm in the process of ordering favours but I've still not made up my mind. If I tell you my ideas could you tell me which one is your favourite? just to help me decide? It's only for the ladies, the men are getting whisky. Thanks in advance x

    1) Cancer research pins (with a card saying a donation has been made on your behalf....)
    2) Wine bottle stoppers (these are silver and have a silver heart design on the top)
    3) Personalised lip balms
    4) Bath bombs
    5) mini hand creams

    All will have a little label and if need be put in a pretty little box or bag! :)

    i would say if everyone was getting the same then go for the cancer pins and the card saying you have made a donation on their behalf although that would be nice too but id say personally and as selfish as it seems id like the lip balm or hand cream depending on the age of the ladies xx

    sorry if that not all that helpful.

    plus i feel a bit bad now saying about the cancer pins as i have had relatives affected by and die of cancer so it a hard one for me to choose xx but there you go i am a selfish person therefore id chose a present for me (sorry!!) especially if the men are getting whisky!!

    it entirely upto you though xxx

    It's between the lip balm and the wine bottle stopper!

    thanks for all your ideas girls,

    I really like the charity pin idea but Dave really wants to give the men whisky so I think I'll give the women something else. What do you think of making it half and half? lip balm or wine bottle stopper, that way if someone doesn't drink wine they can swap etc lol!

    I'm giving NSPCC pins and making a charity donation. I was thinking about possibly a lotto ticket and getting the numbers called out, but not sure. There will be a sweetie buffet so decided not to give them for favours, I love all of your ideas though.

    I think the pins are a great idea in theory. However for people who regularly donate to charity themselves, they may not think of it as a favour, especially if the blokes are getting whiskey...

    I like the idea of the bottle stopper as it will last forever and is useful, even if people only use it a few times a year for special occasions. Then they'll always be thinking of you!! ;)

    I would personally like the lip balm or the bath bombs, but go with whatever you want. My dad has cancer but is still fighting on and has numerous prostate cancer pins all over his coat, lol, so the pins are a nice idea but not sure if some people will just chuck them in a dish when they got home and not bother actually wearing them. I would, but that is because it is personal to my family. Just go with your gut instinct. I am having favours that I fell in love with and if people don't like them I will kindly ask them to leave them behind so I can keep them, lol. :)

    This thread has got me thinking about the equality of favour for men and women. I was planning on giving the men a scratch card and making iced cookies for the women but do you think the women will feel hard done by? What if the man next to them wins some money and all they got was a biscuit? They will be lovely hand made and and hand iced with their names but still do you think anyone will mind?
