Bridesmaids Gifts?

kmatola18

What are you ladies thinking about getting your bridesmaids and how much are you planning to spend?

I've got a few ideas...Tote from LL Bean + Jewelery (fun stuff from Express/Limited/Etc), but I'd like to find 1 more thing to put inside their tote.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I got all of my bridesmaids a gift set full of bath products, am making them a jewelry set with pearls and swarvoski crystals, and am going to get each of them a more "personalized" gift like my little sister gets portable speakers for her iPod, my other sister is getting a pink Coach purse (her favorite color), etc.

I would try to get them each a gift unique to them as well, even if you just do a gift card to their favorite store, a shirt they have wanted forever, one of those coffee clubs that Brugger's sells if they like coffee a lot, etc!  Just try to get it as personalized as possible

I am making necklaces for them to wear on the day of, a mani/pedicure kit from B&B that I got half price, a gift certificate for their hair the day of, I would like to find a cute tote or makeup bag to put it all in.. and, if possible, find something unique to them.. like my cousin loves owls, so if I could find someting cute like that, it would be great!

I think I am going to each of them a clutch from etsy.com....something that goes with their style...not just to use for the wedding.

I have been a bridesmaid 10 times and finally a bride.  The best gift I got was a pink swiss army knife.  I thought at first, I will never use this.  I was so wrong.  I was in the wedding 8 years ago and still have it and use it all the time.  I am more of the girly girly and still love it.  That is my out of the box idea for you.  (and she had our names put on the knife as well).

So far I'm planning on giving them monogramed tote bags from theknot (already recieved them...super cute but a little more flimsy than I expected), necklaces, earrings, clutch, comfy shoes for the reception.  I might add a few odds and ends as well.

I am making a basket that includes a bottle of champagne and flutes, the necklace they will wear at the wedding (all different, from Etsy), a vintage beaded cardigan in case they get chilly, and maybe a little something else.  I will also pay to get their nails done if that's something they want to do.
