A figurine from the dollar store I feel even bad mentioning it. But if your going to give out figurine's from the dollar store, please make sure it's not the local one.

Best gift was a CD that I still listen to from time to time and a tea set

Re: Favor suggestions? Best/Worst you ever got?

thanks ladies....
i'm thinking of maybe those dumb salt and pepper shakers in the shape of a pear that says 'perfect pair'. it's kinda cheesy...i know....i don't even like them! i just don't know what to give! I wanted to give an ice cream scooper but i can't find one i like. then i thought maybe a picture frame but i feel like soooooooo many people do that....my FI wants to make a donation to St. Jude. Touching...but....i don't want to do that.....
wine stopper?
wine charms?
bottle of wine?
candle holders?
what to give?

Re: Favor suggestions? Best/Worst you ever got?

We don't usually give them out at Jewish weddings but my cousin gave out hand fans...and everyone didn't get one, it was one per couple. I made the mistake of taking my own and some biatch at our table screamed at me.

Re: Favor suggestions? Best/Worst you ever got?

i like the edible ones, i think that most people will eat it, as opposed to throwing it out. we are giving out godiva chocolates

or something useful like an ice cream scoop or wind stopper, never got one of those, but i def. would use it!

Re: Favor suggestions? Best/Worst you ever got?

I'm not going to say the worst, because I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings that might be having those favors (and I honestly don't think the question should be asked).

But the best favor I received was a bottle of wine.
