I’m talking about a specific type of bridal shower favor, although this favor is a super thank-you gift for any all-girl get-together, like girls’ night out! True story—I gave these favors as gifts at a gals-only holiday party. When one of the guests opened the wrapping and saw the favor, she screamed with delight, saying she had just seen one being used in a restaurant, loved it and wanted one!
The favor is a purse valet, which comes in a variety of styles. This clever, purse-size gadget isn’t something we’d go out of our way to purchase, but when we receive one, we soon wonder why we didn’t get one of these handbag holders before.
Here’s why! With a purse valet, which fits on the edge of a table, you never have to worry about holding your purse on your lap, placing it on a grungy floor or slinging it over the back of the chair, where it’s out of your sight and unprotected. The purse valet keeps your purse close to you, yet out of the way, off the floor and right where you can keep an eye on it.
The handbag holder in the photo is a photo holder itself! The design lets you insert a favorite photo, making this favor both personal and practical. And you’ll be amazed at how much weight a purse valet can hold! Some handbags can get pretty hefty, considering all the essentials women need to make it through the day, so purse caddies are designed to accommodate some significant weight. (If your purse breaks one of these babies, it’s definitely time to clean out your purse and take some of that burden off your shoulders!)
You’ll find purse valet styles that are elegant, some trendy and casual, and some are just pure fun. When you give them to the girls (most of whom probably never even thought of getting themselves a purse holder), be sure to notice how many of them will reach in their handbag, grab their purse valet and hang it up the next time you visit a restaurant for a girls’ night out!
