Shower Prizes
I was wondering if anyone can give me ideas for prizes for games we will be playing at my best friends shower. I really am stumped. I`ve been to alot of showers where they hand out prizes, but they are always in very nice gift bags or wrapped and I don`t ever know what they were. Any ideas woould be greatly appreciated.

Bethany, your choices are determined by what you want to spend for the prizes. Most shower prizes are typically between $5-15.
I`ve seen, and given:
Candles, Godiva chocolates, pedicure or manicure kits, Bath & Body lotions/gels, drink mixes in cute bags with little wisks (I found these at a TJ Maxx and they were a huge hit and really cute), picture frames, dish towels with matching oven mitts (actually quite popular with the guests), cookbooks, recipe cards with boxes, anything to pamper yourself: gel eye pack, one of those `around the neck` things that you heat up in the microwave (they are great for sore neck muscles), and nice stationary.
Look at who you are inviting to determine what sort of gifts you should purchase. If the girls are more feminine you`ll want to gear it that way, if they are more sporty then go that way.
Good luck and have fun!

Yes the above answer sums it up nicely, what we had was simular. We wrapped up enough prizes for all the games put them in a basket and the winner got to choose there own out of the basket, best of luck
