Shop for them individually and like it's their birthday.  Stay away from personalized goods (as in initials), unless you happen to know for a fact that the particular bridesmaid loves that sort of thing.

I got my bridesmaids each a pair of gold Steve Madden flats. I got all their sizes before had, and bought all 10 pairs at once. I also made photo albums for each of them. I put five pictures in the begining of me and the girl from high school/college, then photos of us from the engagement party, shower, bach party, rehearsal dinner, etc. They, I printed each of them up their favorite photo's after the wedding so they could add those pics to the last pages of the album.

this.

if i get another initaled tote bag! I think i have only made use of one b/c it was a cosmetic bag from pottery barn. don't get the jewlery they are to wear in your wedding or the shoes or a gift card to get the nails or hair done. if it is for your wedding it is not a gift. it is a gift for you.

No i will not be doing tote bags or the jewlery haha. I did find a post on here and some people went a little wild about how thats not a gift. Which is understandable. I told my girls to wear whatever they liked, if they already own something that will go with the dress, then one less thing to have to buy. I do not want to do totes or anything like that...which is why i did this post. I see the same things over and over again in magazines and online. I was just looking for some ideas that were a little different than the norm. The photo album idea is very cute...although i dont see me having the time to do something like that rite now. Or enough pictures for that matter. Gift cards are always nice...something each one likes. I thought about getting them each a bottle of their favorite wine for part of the gift. I dunno....i have some time to think about it....but a shove in the rite direction is always helpful thank you!

Magazine subscriptions? Books? Their favorite wine/alcohol is good. Some girls do Coach clutches in different colors, if your girls like Coach.
