Show me your BM gifts

I've bought the bags and will have each girls names embellished like the picture below but I really don't know what else to give them or put in the bag.
I'm considering flip flops, necklace and earrings to wear for the wedding, gift certificate for nails or hair or making my own sugar scrub.

Any ideas?

    I would try and give them a gift that is non-wedding related...  I am going to do canvas bags for my girls, and I will probably going to do Coach clutches as their "gift."  You can get them at the Coach outlet in Howell and who doesn't need a cute little clutch for those nights at the bar???  I will also include goodies to get them through the day, i.e. magazines to read, snacks, mini-wine bottles, etc.

    Cute bags! Where did you get them?

    I'm still looking for tote bags for them, but so far I bought them earrings and I'm making them necklaces. I also got them Coach wristlets, t-shirts rhinestoned with MOH, BM, etc., and wine glasses with the monogram vinyl decals and dots.



    I may end up getting them flipflops to or maybe a nice lip gloss and mirror to go in the wristlet. Oh, and I'm paying for their makeup too!

    Gave them each a purse for the wedding to match their dress, earring/necklace set, notepad with their initial on it. Almost forgot. For each of the girls' I got them initial charms (phone charms actually) and since I couldn't find an A, I got her a skull and cross bones (she was 17). They all loved them and it was easy to tell who's purse was whos.




    MOH Jewelry


    BM Jewelry

    I tried to really think about what they like so..

    MOH - hello kitty bracelet and silk scarf
    BM#1 (sister) - Personalized necklace from etsy (NWR jewelry) and a framed picture of her, her BFF and me.
    BM#2 - S&P shakers (she collects weird ones) and a shark cutting board (she loves sharks)

    I think I'm going to get each girl a GC for this spa right by the hotel.

    I got  my girls the Coach signature stripe bag. It's the medium sized one.

    I bought each girl a canvas tote with their first initial on it.  Inside, I put:

    * Pashmina (which weren't needed because it was 60* out on the wedding day!!)
    * Flower brooch for their dress
    * Pearl necklace/earring set (from Etsy seller DeniseJewelryDesigns)
    * Personalized ring dish (from Etsy seller SayYourPiece)
    * $20 gift certificate to the salon where we got our hair done

    They will be getting a non-wedding gift (dependant on their personality), their jewelry for the day of and some other girly froo-froo type product.  All my girls are quite 'girly' so they like the scented candles, lotions, etc.

    I got 2 different ones and I have 4 BMs, but 2 are maid of honor/matron of honor and the other 2 are regular BMs. I also bought little sparkly initial charms off ebay  to go on them since 2 of them are the same.

    For those of you who are going the Coach wristlet route, the outlets are always sending out additional 20% off coupons by e-mail.  I am sure you can join the list on the website but it definitely helps!
