Bridesmaid Gifts

Hey Everyone, what are you all getting your bridesmaids?  I am having the worst time with this one.  I have 12 (I know, ridiculous!) and I really don't want to go shopping for 12 different people, but I also don't know of anything I could get that everyone would like.  What do you think about giving gift cards to the places that I know they love to shop?? Is that too impersonal?  Thanks for your help!!

    Depending on your girls, you might want to give them a nice photograph of you
    (and possibly your new husband) with them. I know it sounds very boring, but this way they would have a beautiful picture to remember the day. GL!

    We are also doing giftcards for there mani's/pedi's and day of make-up. We got them an enexpensive canvas bag to carry all there stuff and put together a little survival kit full of cute girly things like bobby pins, travel hairspray, saftey pins, shout pen, lip gloss, etc.

    I got my bridesmaids really cute totes (not the monogrammed kind, but cute patterned ones), pearl necklace sets, gourmet cookies, and spa kits including a manicure kit, bath fizzies, bath salts, and sugar scrub. I might add a few other small things, I haven't decided yet, though.

    I got my 5 BMs pashminas from an Etsy seller.  They were all under $20, and I had them monogrammed with their initials to make the gift more personal.

    Can't I just give them booze? It'd guarantee a fun weekend! Haha! Just kidding, don't have a heart attack.  But seriously...

    I'm going to give them the jewelry (necklace and earrings) to wear for the wedding, spa kit for mani-pedi and a gift card for makeup service for the day of the wedding. I may also give them a gift card to their favorite store.

    Thanks everyone for the ideas!  I think I'm going to go with this now:

    Probably in black (not sure about flower color yet).  And maybe this, too:
