I am trying to decide what to get my girls, and from the feedback on here, I already know not to get them anything wedding related as their gift. I do plan on getting them small makeup bags and putting their favorite candy, mini water bottles, and little "day of" things since they are all traveling to be here. I'm sort of a "mom" type so I just see this as thoughtful. Is is still a bad idea if I plan on getting them each something personal as well?
For example, my MOH (who is my sister) will be getting earring made from our grandmother's pearl necklace. They are not to be worn in the wedding since they wouldn't match, but I know she would appreciate having something else of my grandmother's. My friend who loves to cook will be getting cookbooks from our favorite blogger that I know she wouldn't splurge on for herself. The friend that I exchange long letters with will be getting personalized stationary that I designed for her, etc.
I would love any feedback since I consider the gift part very important. Although I am trying to spend around the same amount on each (with the exception of my sister), do you think it will matter if the gifts are thoughtful? I am a bit stuck with one BM who I am not as close to as I once was, so any more general but thoughtful ideas would be incredibly welcome, too.
