FRUGAL BRIDESMAIDS GIFTS

So, I had planned to get each girl a unique gift based on their personality spending around $15-$20 each. Unfortunately I was laid off two months before the wedding so I'm cutting corners. I have a failrly large wedding party.

Now...For all the girls I have gotten a cute little trio package of fingernail polish. The colors I chose for them match their personality. I'm looking for something to go with that. I have wine glasses that I thought about personalizing for them, but I was told that doesn't really go with the polish.

Any ideas?

    If I were one of your BM's and knew you'd been laid off, I would appreciate the fingernail polish (as long as it's not required for the wedding day) and perhaps a heartfelt handwritten note/card letting me know how much you value our relationship. If you've already got the wineglasses, go for it.

    Thank you! I was thinking it wouldn't have to "go" either (although I like to paint my nails with a glass of wine or drink in a wine glass), but more than one person said it so I thought I'd check. Thanks for your input!

    Thanks for your reply. I am hoping they will be understanding. I had just hoped to get more since many of them are traveling from out of state. But I did offer a few out of towners a place at my house to cut out hotel experience. I'll def be putting in a sweet pesonalized note to each.

    I know they all like polish and all of them like to drink wine so hopefully this works out and they enjoy their gift.

    You can usually find little manicure sets (the clippers/file/ etc) that are affordable-- I know our dollar store has some and they are not "cheap" quality.  That way its like a pamper kit-- you can maybe find a nice candle to go with it too (easily under $5)
