Nails and Boys' Gifts

Hi Ladies,

I'm looking for a nail place in the Cranston/Warwick/East Greenwich/North Kingstown area for me and my seven (yes, 7) bridesmaids plus our moms.  I don't want anything fancy, just a good mani/pedi with folks who will be gentle (I don't get them very often), and not be too expensive (under $35 for a mani/pedi) for my girls.  What have you heard?  Where have you been?

I'm also stumped for groomsmen gifts.  FH has nixed wedding day "accessories" for the boys (ie, cufflinks), and his group of guys have already given flasks, lighters, ... and all the "typical" gifts at their weddings. Help :)!

Thanks in advance!

    I go to Classy Nails on Warwick Ave in Warwick for my regular nail care.  Sue is very nice, the place is clean, and they do a great job.

    For groomsmen gifts, we are getting cap catchers as their gifts.

    Don't know where to get mani/pedi that cheap around there...

    We thought of personalized humidors (desktop), if there are some cigar smokers...

    Me, neither, but I'm sure someone will have some ideas for you. I heard there was a decent one in that Chapel View shopping center across from Garden City in Cranston but I can't recall the name.

    As for groomsmen's gifts, we ultimately decided not to have a wedding party, but I thought these personalized pub signs/sporting signs could have been a good idea if we did: <a href="http://www.pubsignshop.com/">http://www.pubsignshop.com/</a>

    hey! i've got 7 maids too :) it's definitely tough to find a place.

    I booked Magic Nails in the Cowesett Stop & Shop plaza for day before (5/28). But also thinking of the Nail & Spa Lounge across from Wendy's @ RI Mall. (I've had a mani/pedi done here and it came out great, place was very clean and I think it was $30 for both...)

    I also got a previous rec. of Expo Nails on Oaklawn Ave in Cranston...heard they are clean and accomodate large groups.
    Happily Married!! 5.29.11 was THE best day of our lives!

    Cosmo Nails is the one in the Chapel View shops near Garden City.  They are super nice and it is very clean in there, they have plenty of chairs for your wedding party.  I really recommend it there and the prices are also great!

    Great suggestions!  Thanks everyone!

    @DansBride... I know -- it can be really hard, but I love them all so much and I can't think of having any of them not around.  The more the merrier, right?  :)
