ALso looking at jewelry/clutches on Etsy... but I kind of feel like all my friends have boatloads of purses and jewelry.

Thoughts?? Suggestions?

I plan on spending around $50 pp.

Also was looking at throw blankets. I want to get them something nice that they probably wouldn't buy for themself. (Beach towels because all my BMs live within 5 minutes of a beach. And we'll be at the lake that week)

I really like the PB beach towels. I think they'd fit well with your wedding and if the gals live near the water, they're perfect.

I like the beach towel idea.  It's definitely something I would like to get.  I think both the L.L. Bean and PB towels are nice.  Just depends on your friends' style I guess.

A throw blanket is also a nice idea.  Personally, I'd be happy to get that as well.

As much as I totally love the idea of nice vases, I think I'm going with paint on this one and like the beach towels - esp. since it's something they can use at the lake as well as the beach factor.  Too cute!!

I too really love the beach towel idea! You could do a whole themed beach gift with the towel, tote, sunscreen, sun glasses (cheap, fun ones!), and some cheap fun beach games.

I vote for the PB beach towels.

I think the pottery barn beach towels are super cute.

Okay good! I'm glad people like them.

I know I never want to spend the $$ on a nice beach towel, but I'd like to have one!

Now, I could get them the beach towel and a vase, or I could get them a beach towel and something else summery themed...

You can add Flip Flops from Old Navy, sunscreen, sun glasses, a $10 borders/barnes and noble gift card (for a beach book read)...any combination of things.

Loving the beach tote and PB beach towel idea and some flip flops!   I wouldn't get sunscreen because most people probably have a certain type that they like to use.  But fun or funny/silly sunglasses would be cool and either a book for each or something else geared toward each individual.

I love the idea of beach towels. Good ones that don't have sharks on them are so hard to find and they last forever!  Maybe add the tote and something small and personal too?

katanne9

Okay awesome.

I was thinking of buying a nice summer read that would pertain to each friend.


What colors do people prefer??

dwest2201

 I say mix it up depending on the girls and what you think they'll like.

I personally like the cool colored bag with the blue towel myself... but I think that the tan towel would be good for anyone and could be used with any bag.  Also, the red towel and the other bag would look good.

For beach towels, I usually like bright colors. Ralph Lauren has very nice (on sale) towels that I love.  But I also really like the navy and the tan colored towels from Pottery Barn if that's more your style.

I love the PB towels, they seem to go with the theme of your wedding.
