Original Gift Ideas

[Meg888]

Hi all. Last year for Christmas I made my Christmas dinner guests a little extra gift up and placed it on the dinner table where they were sitting. It was Christmas box which contained a small yankee candle/car freshener, a miniature of their fave tipple, a miniature box of chocs, pen, post its, nail varnish for the women, and key ring for the men and a couple of other ‘miniature’ things but I can’t remember now! They weren’t expecting it, and they all loved their little personalised gifts. I’m having the same gang back but they’re betting I won’t top last year – I’d like to do something similar, but not the same. I’ll never get the surprise element I got last year, but I can’t even think what to do - I did toy with the idea of mini cheese & mini wine hamper but I’m not that crazy about it. Can anyone come up with something a bit special? The age group is 45-70 – thanks

Could you get a special photo for each of them made into a small gift like a keyring, maybe with a small inscription on the back with the date as a nice memory.

Some kind of game could be another idea - with cards with some kind of charades on or trivia - maybe even trivia about each other or questions about things to share.

Going a bit further, a surprise mini murder mystery type game for after could be an idea with props in the gift like a fake moustache, glasses etc... to make up a character.

A game of strip poker would liven it all up. LOL
