I'm looking for a bm gift.
Something practical. I don't really think my girls want anything monogrammed or jewelry.

    What is their favorite restaurant?  Do they like facials, pedis, massages?  You could get a gift card for one of those ideas plus maybe a nice picture frame with you guys together so its not so impersonal. 

    Do they like wine?  You could get them a gift gard to a winery in your area and pack a basket with cheeses, glasses, wine, crackers etc.

    I got my girls gift certificates to the spa where I'm having my mani/pedi done, jewelry they can choose to wear it at the wedding or not and bath stuff/candles.

    I paid for some of their dresses and will pay for their hair and makeup. I am going to get them a small bag with flip flops in them to match their dresses for that night and any little things I find that may be needed for that day. I too didn't want to get them something they may never use. I know tose are things I wouldn't reuse.

    Gift cards can be seen as impersonal which is why I suggested getting something along with the gift card. Personally, I would love getting a gift card to a spa!

    My bridesmaids are my sisters and I bought them each a clutch from etsy.  I made each one different to fit what they would like.  I plan on putting things inside each clutch like jewelry, lip gloss, etc. Etsy has seriously been my best friend throughout wedding planning because every shop I have worked with has customized things to my wishes.  I bought my bridesmaids/jr. bridesmaids gifts, hair comb, bridal necklace and bouqet locket on etsy and it has saved me time (and money!) not having to run all over town finding exactly what I like.
