Ideas for adults' party bags?

[dandelionpoppy]

Hi Geek chums!

I'm organising a girly get-together for my BIG birthday in April.

I want to do party bags, possibly little fabric ones; I need to keep the contents down to £5 per head.

Do you have any ideas for fillers? Internet shopping is more convenient for me.
I've already trawled party sites, Amazon etc, and some possibilities I've thought thought of are:

A scented tea-light
Mini body lotion or shower gel
Love hearts
A body oil, blended by me......if I put in a detailed info sheet, as I'm not retailing it, would this be OK for H/S regs?
A joke item (I'm tempted by stick-on moustaches, but that could back-fire if any ladies have a bit of a problem in that area!)

NOW.......I need YOUR ideas!:idea:
Can you help? Any suggestions very gratefully received. xx

Found this... Secret Santa Gift Ideas & Cheap Christmas Presents - Buy from Prezzybox.com

I like the jelly shot molds, you could serve them at your party and give them the molds in their bag.

Liven things up a bit!

i bought my friends all shamballa bracelets for christmas and they loved them! little did they know they cost £4.50 each from fleabay shipped from hong kong haha. also today on kgbdeals they are doing leopard print scarfs for £12 for 2 but my sister has the exact same ones from hong kong ebay and they cost her like £3.50 each and they are actually really nice.

if you go to sainsburys now (like straight away!) they have all their valentines mush at 70% off, i just bought a little bag of choc hearts for 50p ish? always good to have chocolate in a party bag?

Thinking like I'm thinking, Astarsyle and TracyS!

Just been to sort out the menu, and when I said a lot of my friends are very figure-conscious, and maybe a salad and fruit dessert should be included my dear friend and publican said " No. I think you'll need some stodge to soak up the booze."

Oh heck. We've been rumbled.

Any more ideas out there, chumlettes?

A little perfume sample would be great if you can get your hand on a load!

I once got a party bag from an employer and it had a little scroll in it featuring a lovely poem about how staff are appreciated, something similar would be nice, maybe a thank you type one? eBay again

I find the cellophane bags, still look nice and pretty but a fraction of the cost of other materials.

Last time I did one I included:

- Sweets / chocs
- Choc lollypops made at home
- Pencil
- Little guest soap
- Hair ties for the ladies
- Pack of peanuts
- Plastic parachute man toy (from the kiddie aisle) just a plastic toy soldier who has a parachute attached (adults have crazy fun messing around with them)

I often try and make them useful but still in a way like a kids party bag, brings back youthful memories for people. I usually go raid the kiddie party aisle. Or maybe my friends are just a bunch of kids

My partner got a bag from a birthday do once that had a ninja theme and came back with mini ninja rubber ducks. Theyre still in his bathroom today.
