disclaimer: if you cannot be nice, please refrain from commenting. i am asking for some creative ideas here.

alright.. i'm getting married in 8 (!!!) days, and i have been wracking my brain in an attempt to come up with a cute gift for my sister (my only bridesmaid) and my mama (who has orchestrated my whole wedding) to show them how much i appreciate them...but this wedding has seriously drained out my bank account and im grasping at straws here. i don't know if it's pc to wait until after the wedding to give gifts to family. so, that's the first part of my question. did anyone give appreciative gifts to family members AFTER their wedding?


secondly, i have an infinity symbol tattooed on my wrist, and that has become sort of my trademark. i found some really cute infinity symbol rings on etsy that i am considering ordering at $8 a piece. i also have been recently introduced to the wonders of cookie butter. THAT ISH IS A.MAY.ZING!!!!!!!! :love: :love: if you have never heard of it or had it please google trader joes speculoos cookie butter and thank me later. and i was thinking about making them some at home with speculoos cookies. anyway *sigh* what i need is help coming up with a clever way to package these two things. tj's cookie butter has become my secret life saver.. a stolen spoonful here and there seriously can save one's sanity AND it's still friendly to my new lifestyle.

can anyone help, or anyone have some other super cute low cost ideas? :smile: :flowerforyou:

    those are great ideas and i already thought of that.. but i need CHEAP ideas if i'm going to do this before the wedding.. and my sister is only 19. so wine and whiskey arent gonna work. i know they'd love the cookie butter, but i just cant think of a way to package it that's cute. but thanks for the input!

    Use clear cellophane bags (like the goodie bags from the party store) and tie them with curling ribbon. It will showcase your cookies and keep them fresh.
