  I have been slowly accumulating gifts for the girls and wanted to hear your opinions if I'm on the right track! All of my girls work full time and have busy schedules, none of us have a lot of down time in our lives right now. I got them each one of those adult coloring books that are supposed to be good for destressing at the end of a long day and colored pencils, then picked out a funny book for each of them that has to do with their personal interests (they are all readers). The wedding is also in the winter so I was thinking of throwing in some of those nice "old friend" slippers and packing it all in a tote bag (not marked with anything wedding). I flat out asked one if she would even use another tote and she said she always has a use for another tote. OH, also got them these super cute day of emergency kits just for a little something extra.

  
  

  So.. am I on the right track? Would you like something like this? Slippers yes or no?

  I would personally love something like this. 

  
  

  I think slippers are an exception to the argument about not giving anything to get ready in - I personally think you can never have too many warm things for your feet. Although I think you COULD have a cute pic of all your feet, don't do that unless they all like and wear them without your prompting.

  I'm not sure we are even going to do getting ready pictures of any kind so they aren't supposed to be a getting ready thing, more of a nice thing for them to wear any time and it kind of fits because it's winter Trust me, these are not cutesy slipper, they are just super warm and good quality, I wear mine all the time!

  Eh, I wouldn't be too thrilled to get a coloring book. I'd stay away from them unless you know it is something they'd like. But that's just me. I do love slippers, though.

  Thanks for your opinion! I would never have thought of it or thought I would like it myself but I read a lot about how relaxing they can be for busy people and since all of us travel and work a lot I thought the adult ones would be something fun and a little different. I got one for myself and they are right, sitting down with colored pencils for 15min after work really does relax you!

  I LOVE adult coloring books and so does my sister, I think that's a great idea. I'd love to get this! You've obviously thought about each of them individually and not just through the filter of your wedding. I think they will appreciate all this!

  I also got cute little emergency kits for my BMs with their other gifts!

  Where did you get your emergency kits? Or did you make them? 

  
  

  Thanks for the positive feedback, I hope they all like it and thought I put a lot of thought into it but wanted to put it to the knot vote to make sure!

  I found these, they are cute I threw them in at the last minute as well, I like that they are not huge and can fit in maybe even a bigger clutch.. they were cheaper than buying all the stuff to put in to a kit.

  When I need to de-stress, I don't color.  I drink.

  Working 10+hrs/day and traveling for work a lot does not go well with drinking every night. I prefer to not be hung over at work.
