Huh???

Write her a card of some sort.

She'll have no idea what you're on about so it should be perfect.

crazygeryy

Are you the hen right now? Seems like it.

What's she into? If she's into sport get her something sporty, if she's a girly girl get her some make up. Or ask your boyfriend since he's her friend.

If she types like you, English lessons op

Is this the brides idea or the bridesmaids? I can't imagine putting people through the expense of a hen night, then lumbering them with demands for gifts as well, however small.

I'm starting to hate weddings and all the toxic expectations around them.

Un Croissant

Get her a penneys voucher. Chicks love penneys.

Banjo String

Hens love cocks.

Get her a good cock.

Santa Cruz

A voucher for a Bukkake session.

Menas

A wee inoffensive token present should do the trick.
Bit strange to be invited to a hen when you don't know the bride that well...and strange that they ask for a present!

Sir Osis of Liver.

A giant butt plug.

MRnotlob606

Buy her a box a cereal.

+1.. then you read/hear about all the hassle and stress involved, not to mention the expense - for the couple and guests alike - and for what? A few hours of your life that you'll be exhausted after and with people you probably only half-know anyway.

Small civil ceremony with only close relatives and friends I think, followed by a meal and a few drinks somewhere decent. Costs aside, it just strikes me as far more intimate than an elaborate showy Big Day Out

Tarzana2

A card. Enough expense around weddings as it is!

Mint Aero

not even so much as a hello or thank you OP?

hairyslug

A life size cut out of your boyfriend

biko

Sex voucher

RossieMan

[insert burn house down joke here]

Flood

A €50 hair dresser voucher or similar.

It seems to be a bit of a trend now. I've been invited to two hens recently. One where I had met the hen once (friend of a friend) and another where I'd never met the hen in my life. The second one was my sister-in-laws friend and told my SIL to ask more of her friends 'so that I can get more stuff'.
It seems to be customary now to get the hen a gift.

Needless to say I didn't go to either.

The brides to be have to look else where due to the average wedding present below average these days.

bjork

Something from the pound shop

It's a joke present

A rather unfortunate ad placement in your post Biko.

Buy her a couple of shots in the club

If the present has to remind you of her and you don't know her very well, then nothing reminds you of her. Ergo get her nothing.

Get her some basic syntax. She might like that.

If you don't know her well then why are you going? Hen parties are usually quite small and only close friends and sisters/cousins are there. You'll feel out of place
