Going to a 'Honeymoon Shower' this weekend... Need help

So I was invited to a Honeymoon shower, where the couple only registered with a travel agent. Though I don't agree with this, I'm going to make a donation towards their Honeymoon to Spain.

Here's the kicker... they are having a 'Honeymoon Wishing Well'

What the heck to I put in the wishing well?? Travel soap??

Any Ideas for me???

what about a travel book about spain or maps to the places they are going. Or since you are already paying for their honeymoon how about a toothbrush...lol

I agree I don't like registries like this

I think a Honeymoon Registry is a great idea for couple who have a lot of household things already. I wouldn't base a whole shower on it though.

Travel Journal
Around the neck passport holder.
Things for their flight (I always need a lot of snacks!)
Pre-paid phone card - for that 'we got here OK' call.

ETA: Film is a great idea! You can also buy a lead bag at a photo shop so that the film doesn't get exposed when it goes through x-ray.

A book on etiquette

Etiquette for travelers or for Americans?

I don't think I am a fan of this either. And while all the 'wishing well' ideas are great, I have a feeling that they will end up with 7 adapters, 11 bottles of sunscreen and 4 travel guides by the same person.

I was thinking the same thing! She'll be able to fill a whole bottle of shampoo with all the travel sizes she gets!

There's only so much you can get for a honeymoon, she'll have so many doubles!

Aloe Vera Gel or lotion..we used SO muchnon vacation b/c we got SO sunburned!

I think a book on culture is important..esp a book on the town she's staying in. There was a lot we didn't know about barcelona whenw e went...

Thanks so much everyone! I really appreciate the responses.
Though it lacks creativity... I think I'm going to get a small gift certificate to Barnes & Noble so they can put $$ towards the travel books/ magazines for plane/ language books they need.

THATS SOMETHING DIFFERENT NEVER HEARD OF THAT. I WOULD SAY A GIFT CERTIFICATE TO A PLACE WERE THEY WILL BE STAYING IN SPAIN OR A TRAVELERS CHECK TO SPEND ON STUFF WHEN THEY ARE THERE. MAPS OR BOOKS THAT THEY CAN READ ON THE AREA. THATS A TOUGH QUESTION.
