Bridesmaid gifts

alpolizzano

Hello! My questions is I am having some difficulty with the gifts I am giving to my girls.  I got them each a cosmetic bag with their initial on it.  To put in the bag I got them a travel size body lotion and a compact mirror.  I also bough them each a infinity bracelet (they DO NOT have to wear this the day of the wedding).  I liked the meaning behind it more than anything.  I keep feeling like I should get them more, but also don't want the gifts to be sporadic.  Is what I have already enough?  Any help would be appreciated.

The concept of "enough" depends on your budget. I've been a bridesmaid a few times and usually just get one object. 

Can you toss in something that's individual to each of them?  Usually the advice here is to shop like it's each person's birthday.

Get them something personal for each of their interests. It doesn't have to be a lot of money. A travel coffee mug, a good book, a DVD, etc. 

Personalized gifts are the best. One size fits all gifts are my least favorite as a BM.

Get them something personalized (as in to their taste, not a robe embroidered with their initials).  It shows that you have put thought into their gifts.  Get the wino a nice bottle of wine, the hiking enthusiast something awesome from REI, the girly girl a gift certificate to get her nails done, etc.
