Again, investing in a souvenir that allows some play for the children is an almost sure way to please.

1. Beauty Kit

A beauty kit can involve soaps, moisturizers, nail polish or makeup items and anything else related to skin care or beauty. It’s nice to think of alternatives that can also gift men, in addition to investing in a special packaging, to please the eyes and the heart!

A bookmark can be a useful, elegant and cost-effective souvenir. You’ll need to find or produce a template, invest in quality printing (or paper if you’re going to try something handmade), and put in the time, patience, creativity, and love.

The chances of getting it right increase if your guests have the habit of reading, however, as already said, affection and care count a lot, so even that person who is not a big fan of reading will like the gift, if they feel that it was done with appreciation for her.

3. Sweets

As with children’s birthdays, a good souvenir idea is to invest in sweets, as it is something that tends to please a lot of people.

The possibilities are endless: cookies, cupcakes, jellies, truffles, apples of love or even a remake of candy bags from children’s birthdays with goodies… and on the packaging!

4. Drinks

Gifting your guests with drinks is also an elegant option and is likely to please both men and women. In order not to be too expensive and not cumbersome to carry, invest in small doses. Mini-liquor bottles are a charm!

5. Utility Kit

This category includes items that can be useful during the party and/or afterward. Can openers, fans, scarves, air freshener, mini-fans, mugs and cups… in short, everything that matches the tone of your party and the personality of your guests.

These items can be combined in a utility kit and distributed by couple (or according to your organization of guests) or separately, forming a unique and individual souvenir.

6. Comfort Kit

This idea, in a way, would fit in as a utility, however it deserves attention, as it has been successful among women and is a very nice treat to receive.

The comfort kit usually consists of flip flops, or some other comfortable footwear, but you can complement your kit with whatever you want (massagers, blankets, mini-cushions).

A nice point to consider is to think about the men at the party. The comfort kit is usually meant for women only, but planning something to please men (whether it’s comfort or another souvenir) can make all the difference!

7. Mini plants

Succulents, cacti and other small plants can make a lovely keepsake. Invest in a vase decorated according to the party’s decorative line and add a tag with a beautiful phrase or a thank you. Naming the plant can also contribute to the charm of the present!
