This bachelorette goodie bag idea came to me from one of my dear friends, Michele. On a recent ladies weekend trip, Michele mentioned that she was going to bring along a “chick-lit” novel to read while sipping Mojitos poolside. And that's when it hit me....books are a fantastic goodie bag giveaway!!! Simply gift one copy to each lady, and make sure you pick something fun and light hearted. Everyone will enjoy reading it poolside and have a special memory of the bachelorette party weekend. Don’t worry if one of the ladies has already read the book you choose, she can read parts of it and still part take on the hysterical discussions that are bound to unfold! Here are the three best bachelorette poolside reads…

The Undomestic Goddess By Sophie Kinsella
If you loved confessions of a Shopaholic, you will also love Sophie Kimsella’s other novel, The Undomestic Goddess. Samantha Sweeting is on the verge of partnership at the prestigious London law firm Carter Spink—the Holy Grail of her entire workaholic life. But when she finds she has made a terrible, costly mistake just before the partnership decision, she's terrified of being fired. In a fog, she stumbles out of the building and onto the nearest train, which drops her in the countryside, where she wanders to a stately home. The nouveau riche lady of the house mistakes her for the new housekeeper—and Samantha is too astonished to correct her. Numb and unable to face returning to London, Samantha tries to master the finer points of laundry, cooking and cleaning. She discovers that the slow life, her pompous but good-hearted employers and the attentions of the handsome gardener, Nathaniel, suit her just fine. But her past is hard to escape, and when she discovers a terrible secret about her firm—and when the media learns that the former legal star is scrubbing toilets for a living—her life becomes more complicated than ever.

Chasing Harry Winston by Lauren Weisberger
Any jewelry lover should know about Harry Winston, the jeweler who makes gorgeous and expensive baubles. For the characters in Lauren Weisberger's new novel Chasing Harry Winston, their goals are to get these engagement rings and also to spice up their lives while pursuing the perfect man and the perfect life.
Chasing Harry Winston is the story of three friends who live in New York City who make a pact with each other to change their lives in three very dramatic ways. The first friend, Emmy, decides to have torrid affairs with men from five different continents after her slimy fiancée Duncan leaves her for his personal trainer. Adriana is a Brazilian femme fatale who decides that she will get married instead of sleeping with random rich men. She meets movie director Tobias Baron and decides that his lifestyle is exactly what she needs and makes an effort to settle down into a monogamous relationship.
Leigh is a book editor who has the seemingly perfect life, a gorgeous apartment and an equally gorgeous fiancée. But when she tackles author Jesse Chapman's new novel she finds herself falling for Jesse and pulling away from her stable existence in New York City. The three women offer each other support, albeit sardonic, in an effort to find happiness in the big Apple.
