Low key hen night ideas for my new auntie?

My uncle is getting married in June and my aunt-to-be is having a hen night in May. I would like to get her a fun little present (possibly something to break the ice on the night) but I am stuck for ideas.

I don't know her very well at all but she is lovely and up for a laugh but as she is in her 60s (I think!) she won't be into the hilarious chocolate penises/ traditional hen night games/ anything tacky.

The venue is someones house and there will be a mix of ages there. Any ideas?

My friend did a me a little photo album with a "story" of how dh and I got together. It was very funny. I no-longer have the hoopla penis but I still have that. Any suitably embarrassing piccies of your uncle laying about the place?

Oh and we did a pass the parcel with various "items" in. I was a bit tiddled and tried to engineer it so that my boss's rather "proper" assistant (early 60s) won the crotchless knickers! Really though, I had 2 or 3 "older" ladies at my hen night, and they were more "up for it" than I would have given them credit for

I don't know if you can still buy them in this digital age, but I went to a fairly low-key hen night and someone had brought a Polaroid camera and a photo album. We took pictures then stuck them in the album and wrote messages for the hen.

It was good fun.

Or how about a cocktail book and mix up some tasty cocktails?

Those are really great ideas! I did think about the dodgy photos of uncle but I would have to rope in other family members and they are already doing the organising and it might just mean more work for them. Might ask my Mum if they are getting a present and suggest it if they have no idea what to do. Would love to do the Polaroid thing - I love the idea of documenting the evening, might be hard to find one though! Maybe a video and DVD later.... or maybe I am getting too ambitious!
