    I like the lounge pants and shirt.  Not sure about the bag and sign.

    Like the idea of the bag, but I cringe at the overuse of the word "like" so I don't really like the slogan.

    The sign is cute, but I don't think I'd display it on my wall.

    I am also thinking about doing something like "Oprah's favorite things" and giving them stuff like my favorite mascara-dior show, essie nailpolishes, starbucks gift card, bookstore gift card, etc..........  Stuff that I like that could also be universal!

    I like them!  But I agree with KatNYC2011 I don't know if I would display the picture.  The bag is cute; it looks like it would be good for groceries, so I'd use that

    @cabanagrl9: I really like your idea of the "my favorite" things basket. The items you posted are cute, and honestly if i got them i would think"ahhh so sweet" and be excited, but then i dont know what i would do (minus the pants and shirt). At first i was going ot say "hells yeah" because of the picture, but then i realized i probably wouldnt hang it on my wall (I would rather have a picture or you and me ain a nice frame....)

    I like the lounge pants a lot and LOVE the <3 shirts.  The top clutch is also really cute. 

    I'm not a huge fan of the valley girl speak, so I'd probably not use the tote, but if your friends are into that, I'm sure they'd enjoy it.  The best friends frame is cute, but I wouldn't have a place for it.

    And the idea of including some of your favorite things, ie mascara, nailpolish, gift cards, is very cute.

    Love the everything basket the others not so much.  Maybe a tote without wording on it would be better?

    @Sassygrn:   I definitely dont want to give them a blank tote.  I feel like that could be kind of cheap looking!  If I were to go that way I would choose a totally different type of bag

    I look at the stuff and it's nice and all, but it's nothing really usefull. Plus personalized gifts aren't always my fav to get. I'm giving my BM's what I would want after all the work that's being put into the wedding: pamper gifts. They will include massage gift certificates and jewlery that they will wear for the wedding. Plus some little lotions and comfy slippers to wear the day of the wedding while we're all getting ready.

    Love the lounge pants and I'd probably wear the shirt, too. But the bag and the sign are kind of silly to me personally. I would never use them because they seem too teenager-ish (I'm a teacher/coach and always trying to separate myself from teens though, since I'm often mistaken for a teenager when I'm around them!).

    The tote is my favorite but then again, I'm actually from The Valley so it's very me.  Everything else I probably wouldn't use much.  I do like your idea of the favorite things idea.

    @cabanagrl9:  For my totes I had the girls names put on them. It looks really cute.

    @Meowkers:  me too :) 

    I dont want to give typical jewelry bc I, personally, have never reworn jewelry given to me and to be honest I dont even know where it is!  Massage gift certificates could work, but we all live in different cities, so I am not familiar with the places everywhere.
