Anyone want to share what they are giving their bridesmaids?  I'm getting married in June and have some time to think this through but would love some unique and different ideas!

Thanks!!

    I'm treating it as kind of a second birthday. I'm just going to get them something I think they would like to have. 

    Just remember that anything you buy them for the wedding does not count as their gift - for example matching jewelry that you're asking them all to wear.

    I got all of my BMs beach towels in their favorite colors with their first initial,along with a few more personal things, such as a bookmark for the reader, coffee mug for the Starbucks lover, etc. 

    A lot of knotties advise against monogrammed things, but all of my girls like them and since it's only their first initial, they can still use them even after they get married, if they change their name. You know what your BMs like and don't like, so use that as a starting point. You can't go wrong if you shop like it is their birthday.

    I really like the beach towel idea!  I'm trying to stay away from the jewlery route even though that seems to be the trend with weddings I've been in.  Thanks for the suggestions!
