Bridesmaids
TashaSita's BM baskets - what do you think?

Ok so I call this Tasha's basket of basics - Beauty, Brains and Booze.

Here is what will go in my BM baskets - tell me what you think.

Beauty - compact mirror (personalized with BM's initial), and some of my fave beauty items: mascara (my fave Great Lash), Burt's Bees lip balm, Sanctuary Salt Scrub
Brains - a book. I love this one - the book of Awesome - inspirational and a great read. I am a book monster and all the girls like reading as well.
Booze - bottle of nice wine. Either a rose for the not-so-avid wine drinkers - the Girl's Night Out rose I think and for my wine lovers - the new reco. I got from soon2bmrskloch - mezzomodo - although I need to know which one she loves lol

Does this sound good? I wanted to make it things each girl would use, but also something that is really from me.

FSN, not doing a survival kit really. I may just bring some supplies for all of us to use though - safety pins, breath spray or gum, floss - like a communal bridal kit lol

sounds like a great idea!

just a suggestion about the mascara -- is it the kind the girls use? i only say this because i loove great lash -- but it flakes and smudges on me like crazy, so i can't use it. if they use it or can use it then great! but if it's one they can't use, can they get a different one?

just a suggestion. the BM basket idea is fabulous though! love it!

Hmmmm good point ladydamm.. so maybe I take out the mascara and put in the lotion nidhal suggested - the jergens soft shimmer skin radiance moisturizer instead? It's more generic..
