If you're in charge of planning a hens party, you’ve probably already Googled “cute gift bag ideas” and ended up deep in a Pinterest spiral full of things no one actually wants. Don’t worry - we’ve got you.

Whether you’re organising a low-key celebration or something a little extra, a well-thought-out gift bag is a fun way to kick things off (and show your guests you’ve nailed the details). The trick? Include a mix of things they’ll use during the event, plus a few they’ll take home and actually keep.

Here’s our ultimate list of hens party gift bag ideas.

💕 Keepsakes & Accessories

• Hair clip, scrunchie, or statement headband - something cute and wearable

• Heart sunglasses - perfect for the photos

• Personalised bracelets - friendship vibes but make it hens

• Sashes - one for each guest and the bride!

• Temporary tattoos of the groom’s face – because it's funny

• Mini disposable camera – retro, fun, and a great way to get candid pics from every angle

🛠 Practical Must-Haves

• Mints or gum - always a winner

• Band-aids/Blister patches - for those "no-pain-no-gain" shoes

• Tissues - for laughs, lipstick touch-ups, or happy tears

• Hair ties or bobby pins - someone will need one, guaranteed

✨ Fun Extras

• Bride-to-be advice cards - lighthearted and sentimental, just remember to collect them from everyone

• Mini confetti bags or party poppers - we recommend the paper kind!

💌 Bonus Tip

It’s worth having one mini sewing kit for the group. Wardrobe mishaps happen, and having something on hand that can fix those mishaps could save the day (and the outfit).

🎁 Do I have to include all of this?

Definitely not. You don’t need to blow your whole budget on gift bags. Just choose a handful of things that suit your vibe, your group, and the activity you’ve planned. A little thought goes a long way.
