Unusual bridesmaids gifts?

I'm looking into gifts for my MOH and bridesmaid, but I don't want to get them a frame, etc. Does anyone have any 'unusual' suggestions?

I second the vera bradley suggestion. I got the small duffel for girls who had large ones and I got the large duffel for girls who didn't have the large bag. I bought it online from an authorized retailer who monogrammed the bags. The girls loved them. I also got them a large picture frame and put a bunch of pics of us through the years, VS pajama pants that I had 'bridesmaid' embroidered on the back, and I put together a little bag of bath & body works/VS lotions, lip gloss, and essie nailpolish. The girls really seemed to like everything.

I knew someone who gave lingerie bags w/ a cute bra and panty set. It was well received.

I received a Coach wristlet, by far it has been my favorite BM present.

Of course jewlrey to match for the wedding is always well received.

I just went the coach outlet and got gifts for my whole bridal party (16 people). I am sooo happy. I think they all will love their coach gifts.

Re: Unusual bridesmaids gifts?

I'm personally not a fan of monogrammed items, most especially ones that say bridesmaid.

For the ladies, I will most likely be mixing up their gifts to suit their personalities accordingly.

I will be getting
my MOH a spa package (under $150)

one of my BM's a coach bag and filling it up with a whole bunch of Nars makeup and gloss

another BM will be getting a Coach PDA case b/c she fell in love with one and didn't get it for her bday as she hoped she would

another one I'm going to pay to continue a 6 month gym membership.

Re: Unusual bridesmaids gifts?

I am getting them each a cute little black evening back, with a gift certificate to Bloomingdales inside.

I am also getting a personalized picture frame for my MOH.
