Bridal party gifts?

Can anyone give ideas for bridal party gifts? I wanted to give them each a fun little goody bag of stuff they can use while on Maui. The only thing I've bought so far are turquoise flip flops...Thanks!

    I love thinking about this stuff.  How about a personalized beach towel?  Or a bamboo mat that you can get there at the ABC store (really cheap)?  Then, add in some Tahiti Sweetie - island flavored moisturizer from Band and Body Works.  And maybe a cute personalized tank top - or even just a cute island-themed tank top.  I'd look on cafepress or zazzle for these.  Something like this -[url]<a href="http://t-shirts.cafepress.com/item/aloha-hawaii-jr-spaghetti-tank/178736854" rel='nofollow'>http://t-shirts.cafepress.com/item/aloha-hawaii-jr-spaghetti-tank/178736854</a>[/url]Or you could get one of those little tube-top dresses at Hilo Hatties for each of them.  I used mine as a cover-up basically every day I was there.  Something like this -[url]<a href="http://www.abcstores.com/browse.cfm/4" rel='nofollow'>http://www.abcstores.com/browse.cfm/4</a>,1156.html[/url]

    i got these really cute cap sleeve light bathrobes with a tank dress to go under so the girls could wear them while we were getting ready. they were really cute. i purchased them from american apparel. really cute, light weight and all of my girls loved them. i was also able to find over the shoulder sling bags from target that were in my wedding colors that were on sale for 10 dollars. the final thing was this bracelet from forever 21 to match with the dresses. hth

    Our budget was cut waaay short, so I only got mine sarongs for the beach. I don't think I saw them wear them once. =/ Clearly not a winner.

    The flip flops are going to be a huge hit!  My BM loved theirs!  I've got a list of stuff in my bio of what I gave our BMs.Other cute ideas: personalized beach towels (a little pricey but I loved this one: <a href="http://www.americanbridal.com/personalized-beach-towel-emb105.html" rel='nofollow'>http://www.americanbridal.com/personalized-beach-towel-emb105.html</a>), a small beach tote, a lei of mini-alcohol bottles (you can get them at the ABC stores in Maui), plumeria necklaces, personalized cosmetic bags, I also LOVE these cute little bikini bags (they have a plastic lining on the inside): [img]<a href="http://tinyurl.com/ltu353" rel='nofollow'>http://tinyurl.com/ltu353</a>[/img]

    Those are all greattttt ideas, for my BM's I got them beach totes, then I found a local embroiderer and had them embroidered with their names, also same thing with the beach towels, I got them on super sale for $1 each and then had them embroidered, then some bath and body works stuff, flip flops, their jewelry for the big day, a cute key chain that is a huge diamond ring, flip flop bag tags, and little beach photo albums. A lot of the stuff I got at Ice Standard, sooooo cheap, I mean REALLY cheap, check them out! I think anything you get them they will appreciate. I got a little out of control, I just kept buying stuff!!!!

    Alyson - I'm surprised your BMs didn't wear the sarongs! A frined brought me back one from a trip overseas, and I wear it all the time with my swimsuit. Maybe they just need some time with it? :)

    Maybe Carrie! On the flip side they bought Phil and I a jetski rental for a hour as their wedding present and we HATED it. I'm not a speed thrill seeker... and they know this, so I was surprised that they thought I would enjoy it.Ah well, at least I can say I've done it and never need to again.

    I bought my lovely ladies hand made clutches from an etsy seller. I searched for the cheapest ones and was able to find them each for about $30. They loved them.
