Random WP gift question

I finally hit on the perfect gift for my bridesmaids: I'm going to get them each a really nice book that they'd like.  It's perfect because they all love to read, and I can get them a gift that's uniform but still personalized.  Fab!

I decided I want to get my MOH a nice edition of Grimms' Fairy Tales, because she's a fantasy writer and just had a baby.  But then I realized that another bridesmaid would like that as well...  Would it be weird if two of the girls got the same gift, but the other three (maybe four if we move my brother) got something different?

My MOHs are bookworms too! That's a great idea! I don't think its strange to get 2 the same thing if they are into the same kind of books.

I think if they'd both really love it, then who cares if it's the same thing? I mean, they're probably aware that they have similar tastes. If you really feel the need to be different, then I would ditto the suggestion about HCA

Plus, from my personal point of view, if I received the same thing as another BM (And saw that others recieved different gifts), and absolutely loved the gift, then I would know that you shopped with my taste in mind and deduce that you'd done the same thing with everyone else ... and that somebody else you're tight with has the same awesome taste as me. Which is probably why we were picked to be your BMs in the first place.

It's fine to give the same gift to people who appreciate it.  It's when you give the same gift for all the attendants because you think that's "what you do" that the sentiment can be lost.

I really like that idea. I have a couple bridesmaids that have the same tastes, and have often gotten the same presents for x-mas/birthday. They were never offended as they both knew I picked things that they would genuinely love. It seems like that is exactly what you have in mind, so I am sure they will not care. That is a really great and unique gift, so I think they will always cherish it.

I'd think it was fine if I was the recipient.  And if it really *was* my taste, it'd suck if I saw someone else get it and was jealous.
