I'm looking for ideas for my BM's. I'd rather not get them any jewelry. I already bought them Vera Bradley totebags and a compact mirror. What else do you suggest I fill the totes with? What did you get your ladies? Thanks girls!

Re: 09er crashing - what did you get your BM's?
i got my BMs a steve madden clutch to use day of or anytime. They all loved them...(it was the juliette clutch in silver) a personalized bridesmaid ornament from personalization mall. (not sure if the one i got is still on there.. i ordered it last year) an opera style wallet in my wedding color (turquoise) and a frame from personalization mall that said bridesmaid and their name with a poem on one side and a place for a picture on the other.
My 2 MOHs also got digital picture frames cause one pretty much single handedly planned my shower and the other pretty much did my whole bparty weekend. Plus they are just awesome
they also each got a personalized hoodie that said bridesmaid and the date of the weddding to wear the morning of.(customized girl).. and a personalized pocket calander/planner ...but those were engagement party gifts...but they all loved them and they told me they used the planner constantly.

Wow now that I am reading this I am thinking that maybe I should get my bridesmaids something else. So far I got them a coach wristlet and a bracelet and earrings from Macys to wear the day of. Maybe I will get them ornaments too and I am also getting them the flipflops to wear at the reception.

I got everyone a gift certificate for a massage at Oasis Day Spa. That was all I got, I put it in a little red gift bag with some chocolates thrown in.

Re: 09er crashing - what did you get your BM's?
For my BM's I did a beach theme, b/c it's something they all like to do.
I got 4 of the pink beach totes and 3 of the blue to kind of mix it up.
And I filled it w/ a matching beach towel/lounge chair cover, embroidered w/ their first names. Pink for the pink bags and yellow for the blue.
I got them each a different pair of flip flops from old navy.
Custom designed earrings for them from Isabella Rose who is absolutely amazing....
I put in $20 Spawish gift certificates and I made them each a photo album scrapbook of pics of me and that BM throughout the years.

Re: 09er crashing - what did you get your BM's?
i went to the coach outlet in riverhead during a sale day - we stood outside in line freezing but we got pretty good stuff.....i got each girl a different bag since they are all varying ages - my sister is 17 so i got her one of those flat rectangle bags with the long strap, i got my FSIL who is 30 a really nice diaper bag since she is pregnant with her 2nd baby (well its a overnight bag but it totally could be used as a diaper bag), and my best friend i got her something too but i dont want to say exactly what it is incase she reads this - which i doubt, but she knows about LIW
then we are getting them all pashmina's so they aren't cold outside - the bridesmaid dress didn't come with a wrap - so i think im just going to get everyone an ivory pashmina - and one for me too - which reminds me I have to tell FH to pick them up after work one day....
i am also paying for their hair on the day of - so all they have to pay for is their make up that day....
im trying to think of something else cute i can give each of them to open, maybe i will give each one a picture frame - like those sister frames or best friends - something like that....
i only have 3 bridesmaids, i wanted the people closest to me - its nice because i am able to afford more generous gifts for them

Re: 09er crashing - what did you get your BM's?
flips flops or slippers would be a good idea - i've been trying to find slippers to get the girls that match with their dress - but its hard to find taupe slippers for cheap....

Re: 09er crashing - what did you get your BM's?
I got each girl teh same pink striped cosmetic bag with their initial embroidered in it... and then I put a $50 gift card to Cactus salon inside it. For my sister, who was my MOH, I also got her a Coach bag. I didn't want to do jewelry either b/c I really didn't want them all wearing the same thing.

Re: 09er crashing - what did you get your BM's?
Great gift ideas girls! I'd love to have been or to be a BM in all of your weddings!!
I love the Bliss products and Philosophy's 'Bridal Party' gift set and tote stuffers. I'm also now considering getting each of them a Coach wristlet and MOH a Coach bag. Thanks for all the ideas!

I got my girls Coach wristlets as TY gifts for my shower... they LOVED them. And because I got them in silver, they can use them again for other affairs.

I did plush robes embroidered w/ their initials, VB luggage tags, and their DOJ. Seemed to go over very well
