BRIDESMAID Gift Ideas?

Krystal611

I need some cute bridesmaid gift ideas on a budget. I would love to give them free mani's and pedi's, but I know the cost will be out of budget. What are you giving your maids? Any suggestions?

TIA!

THank you, but that doesn't really give me many substantial ideas.

Well, presumably you know these girls better than strangers on the internet would.  So "shop like it's their birthday or Christmas" is the best advice you can get.

BM gifts should be individually purchased based on each BMs likes and dislikes.  If you go for the same gift for each BM, just make sure that each would like it.

Think of each BM and what she likes and go from there.  Shop sales or specials that online retailers offer and you'll find some great stuff.  Remember, the BM gift isn't a "wedding" themed gift.

Also, do remember that a gift to be used for your wedding isn't a gift to them.

Take the bridesmaid part out of it.  What would you get them if you were shopping for ANYTHING other than your wedding?  A birthday?  Christmas?  Their graduation? 

Okay, now go shopping.

Shop for their specific tastes and interests.  Since we don't know these girls, we can't really say what they would like.  

I could tell you that I got my sister tickets to see Eddie Vedder, but unless one of your girls is a Pearl Jam fanatic, that probably isn't going to help you much, KWIM?

That's the point. You know them better than strangers on the internet do. The only substantial ideas we could give you would be totally generic, which is not the best option.
