This one is handmade in red velvet with satin ribbon.
Half A Sixpence is a show where you can go to town on presents that relate to weddings, favours, charms, old-fashioned wedding photos, a “ Family Album”
The period costumes (1912 approximately) lend themselves to hats, parasols and pincushions for the ladies, and cravats or straw boaters for the men.
Also picnic hampers and umbrellas,(If the Rain's Gotta Fall) even a banjo.(If I Had Money to Burn)
Sixpence coins are still available from coin dealers, or maybe you have a stash of old coins in the back of a drawer somewhere that might be worth investigating.
A crafty friend of mine made tiny (doll's house size) carrier bags with Shalford's Emporium labels, and enclosed a sixpence in the bag.
Then of course there is champagne, or bubbles and blowers in the shape of champagne bottles, or liqueur chocolates. And for those " All in the Cause of Economy", cola bottle sweets.
Have a look at the Half A Sixpence category on my website for ideas with a list of characters and musical numbers to remind you of names and relevances.
