A Bridesmaids gift

Since we were on the subject of bridesmaids gifts a week or so ago, would you like to receive one of these as a gift?

    No. I don't like colored clutches and I don't like ruffley flowers.

    I think they are cute, but I know that I have a bunch of clutches that I don't use that often. I got a clutch for a wedding that I was in, but it was sort of useless that day because it didn't fit my phone, camera, lipgloss, tissues, compact, flip flops that I was going to change into later, etc.

    I don't particularly like those specific clutches. I say if you're going to get your girls a clutch or wristlet to go down to Aurora Outlets and get them a Coach or Kate Spade. Something they will definitely use again.

    I like it, but it would have to depend on the color. If it were black, I would totally use it again to go out. If it matched the bridesmaid dress, then no. It would be something just to use that day and that's it.

    I think the idea of a clutch is cute but I'd prefer something more useable for everyday. I would probably use that clutch for the wedding and then set it on a shelf.

    I like it, but I wouldn't spend $72 on it, personally.

    I agree w/pp's.  IMO, it's not worth the money and it's not really that re-usable.

    Thanks girls! But hey it's not $72 each it's $72 for 7! I also wouldn't get those colors, I put probably go with gray or something more neutral. Thanks for your input!

    Lol, big difference...althuogh I still think that Coach or Kate Spade would be more practical.  The etsy onces are cute, but still kind of dressy to be able to reuse often

    I actually really like them. Especially at that price point...

    Just bought my BM's black leather coach clutches...they're so cute and definitely can be used over and over even after the wedding. They were $60 each after 25% off...so thrilled to have another thing checked off the list!
