Favorite things girls night

I was invited to a favorite things party. Never been to one before. We have to get a gift that we love within $7-$10 for each guest.
I’m at a loss what to get! Please give me ideas. Thinking maybe a nice lip balm, lotion, or even fav snack but want it to be fun and stay within cost.
Please give me ideas and if you’ve been to one what was your fav gift you got.

Thanks!

Re: Favorite things girls night

Thanks! These are great. Problem is finding them $10.

What's your thought on those cozy slipper socks?
I love them in the winter and since the party is next month thinking it's cute.

I saw one that says if you can read this on one side and the other was either bring me coffee or bring me wine.

Thoughts?

Any other gift ideas and with link would be helpful.

Thanks!

Ok! Good. I love those and wear them all winter, but wanted to check.
I'll run to DSW maybe or order online bc DSW has those really cozy, thick ones. Thanks

I thought it was supposed to be something that you use and is a favorite of yours. Not just a random grab bag item.

It is, but trying to figure what I love that's $10 is hard so figure I'd ask for help for ideas. I do love slipper socks.

Re: Favorite things girls night

i hosted one a few years ago!!!

it was a hoot!!

i invited about 25 women (of all ages) (most were relatives).

i don't remember the price range i gave, but some of the items guests brought were:

* hair straightening spray
* fancy hand lotion
* reusable shopping bag (really nice ones)
* organic cleaning products
* tea bundle
* candy
* coffee bundle

i made it a pot luck, so everyone also brought a fun/favorite dish to share.

we hung out in the back yard and ate yummy food and drank sangrias.
then we came inside and shared our items.
i had each person bring only three items and we drew names. so you didn't know which items you'd be going home with.
there were some "back room" deals where people traded for stuff they wanted to try. lol

i want to do it again, some day. i had a blast with my crazy relatives.

Re: Favorite things girls night

I actually love this idea for a party and it's one I haven't heard of before!

I was also going to suggest NYX Butter Gloss in the creme brulee color. All the "influencers" love it lol.

I also like the cozy socks and nice reusable shopping bag idea.

I bought this cell phone stand recently and bought a second one for my office. So nice for face time calls, zoom etc. Love it.

Another good neutral shade in the Butter Gloss is Madeleine.
I use it every day because I like neutrals on my lips.
