NBR: Looking for suggestions

I'm in charge of games for my best friend's bridal shower this weekend and I'm stuck on ideas for good gifts for the game winners.

What do you like receiving at showers or wish people gave out?

I like the little pamper-y gift sets. With like, a single serve thing of a facial mask, a wash-cloth, maybe one of those gel eye-cooling masks. Or a nail polish, file, little toe separators, and a foot scrubber.

What I don't like: candles and bottles of scented lotion. 


I'm getting so big!

I just want to give you a world as beautiful as you are to me.

We did a 2 spa basket with lotions and stuff, 2 health baskets that had an exercise DVD, luna bars and a yoga mat and 2 wine baskets with a red & white bottle with dove dark chocolates.  The first winner got to pick first, second winner, etc.  Believe it or not the health baskets went before the liquor ones!

Not a fan of scented lotions, typically I don't even like the scent.

At the last shower I went, I got a bag filled with cupcake themed items and thought it was cute. It included an inexpensive apron with cupcakes, cupcake liners, a pencil, cupcake notepad. Since I like baking, I thought it was cute. You don't have include as many items, but perhaps some cute cupcake liners and a little something extra.

For my SIL's shower, we gave nail polish with a little kit that had a nail file, clipper, orange stick, and toe separators.  

For my shower, my bridesmaids bought a bunch of my favorite things and had a basket labeled "Mel's Favorite Things" or something like that.  When someone won, they got to choose from the basket.  It included my favorite gum, candy, candles, nail polish, lotion, magnetic notepad, etc.
