BM Gifts

My wedding is 5 weeks out and I have NO clue what to get my BMs. I don't want to do the jewelry thing...what can I do for 10 girls???

How much do you want to spend per BM?

There is a pic of my stuff in my bio, I got an LLBean Tote, a green pashmina, flip flops, earrings, bracelet, flower hair things. They all used all the stuff that day. I have gotten a  tote and a pashmina before and still use both of them, so I wanted something useful.

Mani/pedi certificates to be redeemed whenever they want?

How about a magazine subscription?  Time Warner is having their Friends and Family Promotion - you can get some great magazines for cheapo:

In the past I have gifted Real Simple, InStyle, and EW.

I have 9 BM and am probably going to the outlet mall in Aurora. I'm either going to give something small from Coach (wristlet or something) or a cosmetic case from Kate Spade. I might also get jewelry, but not matching jewelry.

I was also considering this...and thought exactly of the coach outlet. Decisions, decisions!

I got Kate Spade wristlets at the Aurora outlet mall...LOVE them!

as a bridesmaid, i hate the totes - i think i have 3! 
I also didn't like getting it the day of filled with things to use that day since I had already packed my own bag with flip flops, already had on jewelry, my make up was done, so nothing was really useful.
 i would prefer something like a spa gift certificate, wristlet, or pay for my hair/make up day of.

One of my friends did little purses from 1154 Lill and all of her BMs adored them.  HTH!

Sign up for emails and you can get an additional 20% off at the coach outlet. I have a clutch for each girl and I'm going to fill it with some fun things like lipgloss, etc. I'm also in the process of making rhinestone flip flops for them.

I bought each of them a clutch from etsy. Each clutch is the same on the outside but with a different lining on the inside to sort of "go" with their personalities. I also bought each girl the same necklace for the day of. Finally I bought each girl something just for them. I bought my MOH a Kate Spade picture frame; one BM a wine wall decor thing; and the other BM a hand-blown glass necklace b/c she loves that sort of thing.

I am getting each of mine (I have a total of 7) a makeup bag, flip flops (which match their shoes with a little flower at the end of it...super cute), earrings, lotions/soaps and I am also going to make picture frames that fit their personalities with a picture of the 2 of us in it. (It adds your personality and their's to the gift)
