What is the best gift you think you can give or have been given? I'm brainstorming

Re: Best bridesmaid gift
I was given a python purple clutch (to match the bridesmaid dress) and gorgeous diamond earrings... I was the MOH.
The best to give would probably be something personalized with each Bridesmaids initials, maybe in silver... from Tiffany's. I have awhile to go so I haven't really thought too much about it.

Re: Best bridesmaid gift
I got my girls the following:
Tote bag Makeup brush kit w/ case (BM's only) Lip gloss kit (BM's only) Bath & Body kit (MOH's only) Jewelry pouch Totes Isotoners ballet slippers Double picture frame with a pic of me with each BM on one side and the other side left blank for a wedding pic Swarovski necklaces Swarovski earrings for MOH's and FSIL to match their necklaces Crystal brooch for their dress Lolita wine glasses A pashmina in their favorite color
Oh and they all also have the option to get a free mani/pedi, as my sister (MOH) is a manicurist

Re: Best bridesmaid gift
the best thing i have gotten as a bridesmaid...hmm....they were ok gifts but mostly DOJ. I got a coach wristlet from my sister but i don't want to do that for my wedding because i want to be a little different so I guess my favorite was getting my makeup done for my other sisters wedding. i didn't have the money at the time and she made that as part of my gift and i really appreciated it since it was the first time that i ever had my makeup done. to this day i haven't forgotten how special i felt (i'm so simple haha)

This necklace sounds nice. Where are you getting it from? Do you have a pic?

Re: Best bridesmaid gift
I got my BMs this awesome Totes...each got a different pattern. They all use them all the time for overnight trips.
I also got them earrings and bracelets from Thomas Knoell. They all wore them for the Day Of, but that really wasn't a requirement or anything.

Haha, it was the opposite for us...the guys were SO hard and I just kept buying more and more stuff for the girls.
I think the Initial Necklaces are a great idea. Just keep looking for a different one. I am not sure how much you are looking to spend, but I just googled 'Initial Necklace' and lots of things came up!

Re: Best bridesmaid gift
yea i love initial necklaces though i can't buy anything too glitzy because they don't wear that and they don't wear yellow gold. i really don't want to buy platinum because one bridesmaid hardly wears jewelry so she would wear it once in a while even if she loves it.
