Poll: Bridesmaid & groomsmen gifts?

alora365

What are you ladies doing for attendant gifts? I'm torn between practical and pretty. And a smidge of good ol cliche gifts. I want to give them something they will use & enjoy with a bit of sentimental attachment in there somewhere. So I guess I am asking: Number of attendants: Bridesmaid gifts: Groomsman gifts: Price range: Thank you so much in advance!

I had 8 bridesmaids, he had 4 groomsmen, and we spent about $50 on each one. Bridesmaids: Handmade Amy Butler cosmetic bags from Etsy (PIB), Hand Cream, Candle, and Bath Fizzies all from Details Boutique in downtown Littleton, 2 nail polishes, manicure kit, and a necklace that I made for them at Beadniks in Highlands Ranch---adorable place, you should go there!Groomsmen: Golf Polos, tees, club covers...just a whole bunch of golfing stuff

we have 1 attendant each & bought their outfits for the wedding & a $50 gift card for them to go out to eat with their spouse at a favorite restaurant. We are too practical :-) LOL

3 BM and 4 GM Girls- I did duffle bags from American Bridal, with lots of little stuff from bath and body works, with a necklace from overstock to wear with their dresses. Guys- Flasks that were engraved with their initials and we gave them the house filled with liquor so they didn't have to pay for lodging. They had a blast staying all together. All in all, it was about $50 each.

I am thinking about getting my bridesmaids wristlets from coach. They have some under $50. I have 5 bridesmaids so this is a little bit pricey but I wanted to get something that they might be able to use again. Another option was a cute makeup back and fill it with fun lip gloss, nail polish, & other things. But I couldn't find any neat makeup bags. Any recommendations? This would be a little cheaper option. We are still thinking about groomsman gifts. Maybe personalized pint classes.

CoolCourt and Katy Lady, Which sellers did you purchase the bags from? KatyLady, I loved your but can't find the seller. Is it possible the seller is no longer in business or do I have the name wrong? Thanks so much!

Number of attendants: 4 BM & 5 GM Bridesmaid gifts: Cream colored pashmina to wear the day of if they want to, brown and white damask print makeup bags from Etsy, a necklace from Tiffany's (I "know" someone and got a smoking deal on them) Groomsman gifts: Tiffany's cufflinks (again, we "know" someone so they were very affordable) Price range: I think I spent about $50 on each girl, believe it or not. I also had little purses made for the 3 FG's in their favorite color and their name on them; from Etsy also.

We had 2 attendants each. BM gifts:  earrings from JamesAvery.com and we paid for BM dressesGM gifts:  Fly fishing gear for both GM (a nice high quality box for keeping their flies in), and we  paid for tuxes.Price ranges for all the physical "gifts" were approx. $40  Tuxes were $135 (I think) and BM dresses were $60 each.

7 attendants each (I know, I know it's a lot lol). I haven't purchased gifts yet but they are all flying in so it has to fit in their suitcases. I'm thinking those nice Sigg water bottles for everyone, and maybe get the girls Sephora gift cards as well. Not sure what else FI wants to get the guys, trying to think of something "Colorado-ish." Gifts b/t $40-$50 each person.
