Hey
Have some friends who are getting married. Both bike. They're looking for cool little chotchskies (?) to give away as wedding favors. Shouldn' cost much..
Any ideas?
Tchotchkes: Little playthings, gadgets, ornaments, bric-a-brac, toys, cheap trinkets, dust collectors ....
Price limit?
How many guests?
Color scheme?
Is there anything in this sport that's inexpensive?
tubes
lubes
fridge magnets
small bottles of Red Bicyclette Merlot
LUNA lip balm
patch kits (about $1.50)
tiny blinky lights (from $6-$9) - I found a great brand of these that are really little, attach with a little band, are really bright and totally cheap - if you are interested I can find out what the brand is.
Park MT-1 tools - the coolest bike tool I own - also small and inexpensive
Park tool bottle openers - don't know the price, but they are just cool
patch kits
packets of GU instead of those almonds
sports beans
blinky things :D
zipper pulls
share the road stickers :D
instead of standard directions from ceremony to reception have a route map
tire levers
patch kits
blinky lights
ankle biters (reflective ankle/wrist bands for night/low light riding) http://www.planetultra.com/OrderForm...andsOrder.html
gu gel packs
clif blocks
gatorade singles
trail mix packs
Thanks.. keep 'em coming.
Trek - they are a thrifty couple so I think the budget is small. It's a small wedding.. really just family and a few friends. Color scheme? Uh.. I dunno? And I love your last comment...
I'm not sure their family and friends are into bikes so it might have to have a bike theme but not be specifically for a bike, if that makes any sense...
I love all your suggestions though! Esp the merlot one.
Like the park tool bottle opener, the anything (trail mix, gu gels, etc) instead of almonds (I hate those), the route map idea (love that one..)
Will pass these along to her and see what she thinks.. keep 'em coming .. cuz you know how brides are...
Hey, invite the bride to the board.
We recruit ...... TE members that is ;)
Then there's the gown :D
Red Bicicletta also does an excellent SyrahQuote:

little plastic bike pins
Second the "Share the Road" bumperstickers (good for riders and drivers)
invitations to a coffee cruise ride
bike coffee mugs
bike bandanas
put the tchotchkes inside water bottles .....
Create a special gift at http://cafepress.com -- mugs, pins, badges, whatever. It can have a bicycle design, logo, or pic of the happy couple on bikes. The options are wide open!
What about little bike bells? Is there such a thing as inexpensive ones? Might be fun to "ding-ding-ding" as the bride and groom dash off for their bikes.
my brother and his wife had water bottles printed with their name and date. They were even full of water for the drive home.
oooh.. more good ideas. Sent them off to the bride for her judgement :)
Do they make small sample sizes of Butt'r? ;)
