Adult pass the parcel - filling ideas

ErinAndTonic · 25/04/2022 19:53

random one - putting together some games for my best friends hen. All women late twenties early to mid thirties and a few older ladies. Youngest niece is 17.

Any ideas for nice little prizes that are applicable to everyone, not too tacky etc. I'm going to put some alcohol miniatures, chocolate and possibly a cute eye mask. No idea what else to Chuck in or for the main prize.

Any inspo would be great!

Gift voucher for main?

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 25/04/2022 20:06

Lip balm? Burts Bees do some lovely tinted ones. Mini nail varnishes?

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 25/04/2022 20:07

Ooh, you might be able to persuade a beauty counter to give you some free samples to try?

OneForestOne · 25/04/2022 20:08

Lip balm maybe?

Benefit do those mini versions of some of their most popular makeup products. I'd love to win some of those playing party games!

You could do forfeits instead of gifts in some layers. Silly ones rather than nasty - sing a song, pick up and eat a chocolate without using your hands, kiss the bride, pass the parcel with your toes/blindfold, name the first baby etc.

Thanks so much for these lovely ideas 😊 gift voucher main prize is perfect as should suit everyone if I do something like Amazon.

Make up sample idea is also great to keep the costs down as I'm spending so much on all the activities and goodies for the weekend. Love the idea about forfeits.. I was thinking of incorporating some tasks in.

Really appreciate the ideas.. mix and match should be good. I'm open to any more - doing a full games night so even if I don't use things in pass the parcel I can use them for other game prizes. Bride to be loves games nights so doing that for the Friday and making everything myself which is equal parts amazing fun and like a second job at the moment Grin just want her to have the best time!

Nail varnish or stick on nails, fluffy socks, face masks

Actually I have young adult sons whose birthdays are approaching! This would be great as a bit of birthday silliness.

Any ideas for men?

ErinAndTonic · 25/04/2022 20:48

Hmmm men.. bit of lynx haha. Favourite booze of choice. Chocolate. I was thinking of adding scratchcards to mine. Sports related stuff depending what they're into. Voucher would work the same too. Mini aftershave. Socks.

Hopefully others have more ideas!

Lottery scratch card

Some really good ideas here that I’m going to steal myself! Dd has decided she wants a family picnic at ours for her 18th! She’s going out with her friends the next night but wants us all to get together for the day and I was thinking about some fun things for us to do.
adult pass the parcel sounds like a bit of fun, I always used to do them for the parties when they were little.
i think scratch cards are a good idea for filler layers, I might do a present for her in the last layer.

Foot masks
Nail files

Temporary tattoos?

ErinAndTonic · 26/04/2022 16:48

Tattoos aren't a bad idea.. think I've seen some metallic bridey ones.. I'll have a look and see if they're just about non tacky enough that people would put them on!

Sorry to be rude but what's the point in this tat! It would go straight in the bin

Chillywilly93 · 17/07/2023 12:01

I've just done this and it was easy, just add a small bottle of booze under each layer and make the person down it before passing the parcel. Was lots of fun, we just had the flavoured gin stuff which went down well - https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/310675084

I've done pass the parcel a few times with adults, Etsy is great for small ideas, bracelets, keyring, we're crafty so I've added stamps or stickers in, with the main prize as a game or art set.
