Homemade Hand Lotion

I was wondering if anyone had a recipe for homemade hand lotion? I have heard of this but haven't seen any. I thought this would make a nice Christmas gift.
Thank you

Wedding Help Requested

I was wondering if anyone could give me some advise on how to save money on my wedding. I am going to get married in June of 1998 and I want to have a beautiful wedding, but everything is so expensive. The bridesmaid dresses I want are $300.00 a piece and I have 4 bridesmaids and I can not afford $300.00 per dress. I tried some fabric places and the fabric would cost me as much as buying a new dress. Also, I would like to know if anyone could tell me how to save money on my wedding cake. My aunt will make my cake for free if I can buy the supplies. One piece to the cake will cost $150.00. That piece is a water fountain to be placed in the center of the cake. Once again I can not afford something that expensive. Could anyone please help me save some money on my wedding.

Grocery Coupons - Legit?

I've seen online ads for grocery coupon booklets-for $15 you can order specific coupons ( only the ones you'll use), supposedly save over 50%. Are these legit? appreciate your reply!
