Bridal Party Gifts

I have 5 very different bridal party gals.  I'm looking for some good ideas or websites for gifts.  Most of them won't be into things like tote bags, sandals, charms, etc.  Is it ok to give each BM a different gift?  And does anyone know any good websites to shop around for unique bridal party gifts?

    It's not just okay, it's recommended.  Don't shop for "bridal party gifts," just shop for gifts for your friends.
    This is a neglected planning bio.
    This is a belated married bio, with no reviews yet because I'm lazy.

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284

    Yep, just keep it the same amount for each girl and shop for each individual's special interests.

    You're on the right track.  Don't think WP gifts.  Think "Thank you for standing with me on my wedding day" gifts.

    They don't have to be matchy-matchy, and they don't have to be, nor should they be, wedding related.

    Get your movie buff tickets to the cinema so that she can see the next blockbuster.  Get your baker friend a piece of cookware that she's been coveting.  Get your sports fan a team jersey.  Get your celeb gossip fan a magazine subscription to a celeb. magazine.  They'll all love their gift, and love you for thinking about them personally.

    Thanks for the advice.  It's funny.  My fiance already has his GM gifts picked out.  He got really excited about it and knows what he's getting everyone.

    Yes!  Try http://www.chachabella.com
    They custom make rings for bridesmaid, girlfriends---whoever!  You can chose ones to match the dresses, or make each of them different.  They even have names, as they are all named after the creators real girlfriends!  I got them for my BM's and the loved them!
    Good Luck!

    mknapp:  vendors are not permitted on these boards.  You've been reported.  Al;though one might also recommend that you be reported for selling terribly overpriced and ugly rings.

    Yeah, and this New Jersey Girl sure claims a lot of things are "tacky".   Seriously?   We are much nicer than that here in the South, and were just trying to help.

    Knapp - unfortunately it's not a NJ thing.  I'm in Chicago and completely agree that those rings are ugly and not something I would dream of getting a bridesmaid. 

    All of your posts have mentioned that web site, so you need to watch it.  Vendors are not allowed to post here and mentioning the same product in every post is extremely suspicious.
