I have a 3 friends who I been friends for close to 30 years. We are going on our annual girls weekend this weekend. We have rented a house and are planning a wine tour and lots of good eating and laughs. When we get together someone usally brings gifts for everyone. No one does it everytime and it is not expected. I haven't done it in a while and want to but I need some creative ideas. I want to spend no more than $50.00 per person.
So please creative peas help me come up with some ideas.
Some past gifts were picture frames, home made spa treatments, candles, braclets. TIA |

The OP lives in Canada, so that wouldn't work here. What wine region are you going to? Maybe a bottle or two of local wine, while you take some tours. |

Wineglass charms? Bottle stoppers? (maybe even personalized.) You could add a cute tea towel or fun cocktail napkins and even a small cheeseboard. Or give some them sort of carrier for the wines they buy (unless they're buying cases, LOL!)
If you're going to local wineries, they'll most likely be giving you complementary glasses if you do a $5 wine tasting (most places here do).

Matching tank tops?
We just went on a couples trip with 2 other couples and the 3 wives (me included) bought matching nightgowns and matching tank tops. It was fun.

I just celebrated our 60th birthdays with a group of seven friends I have known for almost all of my life. They really loved the 8x8 photobooks I made on Shutterfly with pictures that spanned all those years. The list price of the book was $39.99 plus shipping, but I was able to use coupons to reduce the cost. Your friends might like something like this.

The last two girls' weekends I attended, the gifts were bags. My friend gave everyone really cute patchwork bags in sort of Indian block print patterns that I've used as a beach bag for years, and this past year, I found some awesome reversible oilcloth bags in really cute combinations of colors and patterns that I gave to my friends at our Vermont farmhouse weekend.

I would try to find something that goes with the wine or at least the theme of the weekend. Perhaps a cool wine glass with sunglasses to hide the hangover?

How about a wine t-shirt? I've seen lots around, I have a couple I bought locally.

I was going to suggest personalized/engraved wine glasses, but that might be difficult since you're going this weekend.
Take a group picture and give each of them a nice picture frame and tell them you will have the pictures printed for everyone. That would be $50 though.
You have other wonderful suggestions here!
HAVE FUN!
