Shower Prize Opinions Needed!

I'm co-hosting a nautical themed shower for my sister this weekend, and I need opinions on the game prizes that I have prepared.

Okay, I know the usual thing to do is lotions/candles, etc. BUT I thought maybe it would be cute do something different and in the nautical theme. SO, for each prize bag I have a set of 4 nautical themed wine charms, one of these nautical themed pocket mirrors http://www.etsy.com/listing/105682311/sale-pocket-mirror-vintage-pinup-a-sharp?ref=sr_gallery_6&ga_search_query=nautical+pocket+mirror&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_page=2&ga_search_type=all, and a bar of organic, handmade soap from the Old Whaling Company.

What do you think? Most of the guests are wine drinkers, but I'm worried the pin-up girl might offend one of the older women if they were to win.

I'm kind of second guessing my choices here...what would you do? Should I scrap these ideas and instead just buy some bath sets?

For favors, we're giving each guest a cookie that looks like a little sailor onesie. These actually...http://www.etsy.com/listing/96444942/nautical-sailor-onesie-cookies-for-baby?ref=usr_faveitems

ps - changed the title so as not to sound so misleadingly urgent

I love your ideas! I'd say go with this, it's very different & creative and it goes with the theme!

I don't think they are offensive.

I think they are fine.  Maybe the older person won't win.  lol

I think the older women would laugh at you for thinking they would be offended. Pinup girls are from THEIR generation!

You don't know my grandmother. I know she would think it's a bit tawdry. BUT I also know she probably won't win.
