So I just got an email about these grab bags from Burt's Bees [url]http://tinyurl.com/yghbnqq[/url]  I guess this is a PSA also :)I was considering getting 1 and splitting the stuff between 3 ladies that are helping out with the wedding (1 designed the STDs, 1 is helping coordinate the ceremony on day of, and the other is FI's aunt who is making a cake for the rehearsal dinner).FI isn't sure about the idea.   What do you ladies think?  Yes? No?  Split the stuff + a little something else?

    I think its a great way to get alot of stuff for a bargain price! If your people like Burt's Bees products, then I don't see anything wrong with making them gift baskets and using this stuff in them. I might even buy one myself and split the items among my bridesmaid gift bags.

    Great bag of stuff!  Question, did you pay for them to do these services?  If you didn't pay or are paying cost for them to do these I would maybe get them each a bag?  You also shouldn't feel obligated to give them something at the wedding you could always wait a few weeks/months.

    No, we didn't/aren't paying any of them anything.  All of them volunteered, actually I think FI's aunt was recruited by his mom.

    If they did everything for free, I would get them each their own bag.  That's just me though, I'm sure their services would total way over $75 when you added everything up.

    That's true.  I'm not entirely sure they all like Burt's Bees stuff though, so I think we might go with splitting a bag between them and then getting them each a gift card. Thanks ladies!
