Alright ladies, I'm seriously struggling with my bridesmaid gifts and I need some input. I want so badly to give them something  that shows how much I appreciate everything they do. Below is a poll of ideas I've narrowed my list down to. I'd love to see what you ladies would like to receive. Any ideas not on the list are greatly appreciated!

    equal on the jewelry and the wristlet.  I was thinking about doing wristlets for my girls as well.

    I voted for jewelry but I also think the wristlet would be fab. If you get jewelry, my suggestion is to get something that is personal to each BM's taste rather than just something to go with their dresses that they may only wear on the day of your wedding. I have BM jewelry from past weddings that I have not worn since and just think it is a shame to spend a lot of money on something they may not wear again.

    I think it is also fine to get them all the same jewelry to wear to the wedding but make it neutral enough to wear multiple times.

    But again I also love wristlets :)

    I think they are all great ideas to be honest! 

    I am trying to get my girl's personalized robes (with just their first initial on the front)....but I probably won't as the wedding is in a couple of days and I have yet to find them.  I bought them their wedding day jewelry. I also got them some personalized stationary and a purse valet/hook thingy.  I think that's all.  I may go to Bath and Body Works and get a little something too.

    Ajoyd - This exactly. I've been spending tons of time on etsy and have found some really amazing things that would be perfect for nearly all 7 of my bridesmaids.

    Thanks for all the input ladies. I really appreciate this. I don't know why I'm stressing so much. Keep the feedback coming. :)

    I did the robes with their "title" on the back (Maid of honor, bridesmaid), personalized hangers with their names on it, earrings, and for my MOH, i got a Vera Bradley purse as a special thank you.

    *psst! Noble! Go to tj maxx, marshalls, khols or big lots and find cheap robes there, then just go to jo-ann or michaels and get rhinestone iron ons, VOILA!**

    I ordered tote bag's from thirty-one and had thier names embroidered on there. I'm working on filling them with fun things i pick up here and there. One thing I'm really exctied about but I know it's kinda dorky....I got them rubber ducks dressed in bridesmaids dresses. I have an obsession and I try to force said obsession onto others I know that it is wrong....but who can say no to a cute little rubber duckie...lol

    I would say either the jewelry or the wristlet, but I would like the jewelry a little more because I wear jewelry more than I use a wristlet. Have you asked your BMs for their preference? I asked my BMs and I told them I wanted to give them something they would use after the wedding, and the unanimously said they wanted jewelry they could wear for the wedding and after. So that's what I got them. The jewelry was from the Nordstrom crystal collection and Nadri (all the jewelry was reasonably priced and were neutral enough to go with everything) and they were really happy with the pieces they got. I remember BM gifts being so hard to pick out, so good luck!
