  I have nothing original but I am getting different gifts for my bridesmaid because everyone is different.  All of them are getting jewelry but I am trying to get them gifts that mostly relate to them. Stationary was a gift that I wasn't fond about, I never write letters, but that is just me.

  I am not a huge fan of the personalized/monogram stuff (in general, some is ok). Like for one I got a small purse/bag with my name on it, and a compact mirror with my initials. Never used the bag and rarely use the mirror (it weighs a ton).  I got my BM's their day-of jewelry, a couple little small items, and then a gc to their favorite store. One of their favorite items I got them (which I broke my own rule about monograms!) was a personalized beer coozie, we were having bottled beer at the reception so I thought they'd look cuter in pics since my mom hates when we all have beer bottles in our hands in every pic Pics in bio of gifts.

  I don't know if I've ever gotten an "unuseful" gift... I have a hard time remembering them all sometimes though (so maybe they really weren't that useful!)... a lot of times brides give the jewelry they want their BMs to wear.  I'm not doing that though, I want my BMs to wear pearls I think most of them all have a strand of pearls and I know I have 2 fake strands I can lend out and my MOH offered the same.  I know when I've received jewelry as a BM I've only worn it once on the wedding day (I think for one of my cousin's weddings I wore the jewelry again for homecoming too because I was still in hih school).  I'm getting my BMs mongrammed robes to wear while getting ready day-of (the strapless wrap-around kind with elastic or whatever at the top to hold it up... I think they have a name but I don't remember what it is!)... and I'm going to get one for myself, too, to wear.  I figure they can wear them on a daily basis if they choose, or not!  But I know I'll get a lot of use out of it.  I feel like you can always use a bathrobe or somehting to get ready in before going out.  But I could be wrong!

  Best - The most thoughtful gift (IMO) that I ever got was a frame with a promise to fill it with a pro pic after the wedding.  The picture of my friend and I is great and I love that she did that.  Worst - One of my friends gave me a necklace and earrings to wear in the wedding.  I don't have pierced ears so she got me clip ons.  Not only did I not wear them after the wedding, I hated every second of having them clipped onto my ears at the wedding.
