I'm not sure what gifts to give my BM's!!!! I'm buying necklaces for all them to wear the day of (I'm not considering this their gift since it's like part of their bridal attire) so I was thinking I could get them personalized jewelry boxes.  I also like the idea of getting them wristlets.  I'm not sure what to do! 

What are you getting your BM's??? What's a gift that you would like to get/ have gotten as a bridesmaid??

TIA!
I love my baby, yep yep, he loves this chick! imageimageimageMy Planning Bio

    I've been struggling with this. The ladies here gave me some awesome advice. What i did was buy them each clutches from Aldo's in gold. I'm also making each of them a little basket that has a journal, pen, sleep eye mask, glass mug w/infuser built in & various flavors of tea for each of them to have "me time" once the wedding is over. I thought this would be a great way for them to unwind after I've gotten on their nerves with this wedding.

    I got my 2 moh's, no bm's each a tote bag with their name on it and it says Maid of honor for free from Vistaprint! Thanks vista print! www.vistaprint.com/ent
    I went to Michaels and filled them with all things pampering,cozy socks, eye mask, sleep mask, those hand gloves, a journal, pen, book mark,and an initial mug, I got each a $50 Spa finder gift card, in each is a crystal frame( tjmaxx) with a picture of the two of us in it froma special outing we shared together, racked up on bath and body's works buy 3 get 3 free deal and put those in their too.  So I think thats enough but I wanted to do sonething really nice for them since they are coming from New Jersey and LA to be in the wedding.
    They of course will get the standard moh jewelry which Im not counting as their gift either. These are the earrings I ordered for them from www.overstock.com

    I am giving my MOH the night before off from her daughter. Her daughter is going to stay with me so she and her partner can have adult time.  The rest of the party is being treated to feet and nails the day before the wedding.

    I already have Bath & Body Works gift cards but I really want to give them a spa day. We all have had issues lately and I want to give them some time away from responsibilities. Each of my BMs are very individual so I am letting them get their own jewelry that signifies their style.

    I am broke, so I'm not going to be able to go all out.  I got them totes which I will personalize with their initials, a bottle of wine (in keeping with wine theme).  jewelry, a "Wine for Dummies" book. and so far that's it.  Unless I can come up with something else.

    When I was MOH for one of my BMs 5 years ago, she gave us all personalized compacts.  I still have it in my purse.  So, I'm doing the same thing.  Each one will have their initials.  They'll also get jewelry for the wedding day and a spa party after the RD.
