What are you thinking of getting your BMs as a gift?  Or if you've already had your wedding, what did you do for your girls?

    I made my girls little jewlery boxes and put earrings in there, I gave them shawls and coach wristlets. I went a bit overboard but a lot of my girls traveled from out of town.

    I'm giving my girls a pearl necklace and earrings.  Its a really nice set and would cost a bundle here...but my dad flies overseas regularly and picked them up for a fantastic price.  I'm trying to decide if I should buy jewelry boxes or clutches to put the jewelry in.  We'll see.

    I bought my girls sapphire and diamond earrings and necklace.  I'm also trying to decide something else for each of the girls.  Either a clutch, cute jewelry box, compact mirror.  Still working on the other part.  I could also use suggestions.

    Since each of my bridesmaids is married or dating someone, I'm doing "date night packs"--movie passes and a gift certificate to a restaurant that i know they like.  FI and I figured they have always supported us in our relationship--we'd like to give them a date night to enjoy together:)  

    Have fun!

    I LOVE the idea of the date night gifts! How awesome!

    I'm taking my girls for a spa day - massages, manis, pedis. We're so busy and one is coming from out of town, so we just want to spend the day together getting pampered :)

    I gave each of my BMs a "day of the wedding emergency kit" with travel deodorant, gum, tide pens, safety pins, etc.  I also got each of them a really really nice pen and personalized stationery set.  I bought their jewelry for the day too but I don't consider that a gift since I required them to wear it. 

    When my sister got married, she got each of us a Lands End tote so that we could cart around our clothes, makeup, hair stuff, etc for the wedding and it has come in super handy since so thats another idea too.

    I'm all for things that can be practical for daily use after the wedding.

    Coach wristlets and earrings - I wanted them to get something in addition to what they would wear jewelry-wise for the wedding.

    I made them all bracelets:

    I have a few more months to come with with anything else that might be fun too - these are all great ideas!

    I gave each of them an engraved vase that also doubled as decorations for the head table, a small purse, earrings and a Caribou gift card.
