Best gifts you've personally recieved for being in the bridal party...

I'd like to get some feedback not just on what we think is cute but what was actually recieved and liked by you when you were part of someone's bridal party....

I got tickets to Great Adventure and a beautiful picture frame once and was very happy.

FH got a nice watch once he still wears.

Re: Best gifts you've personally recieved for being in the bridal party...

i was never in a bridal party but am trying to come up with things that the girls will actually use. i am thinking of getting them all a clutch to use at the wedding (something in expensive) and then include something different for each girl (something they want)
ex: my sister always admired my watch, my friend loves a certain picture frame company and the other one that I am not certain of a gift I am thinking a spa gift certificate.
FH is thinking of getting his guys cufflinks and/or money clips. he figures even though they might not use them now, its something they may eventually use

Lands End canvas tote - w/ my name on it.

I use the darn tote all the time - weekend trips, day trips, traveling on a plane. It was the best gift ever b/c it gets used a lot. We each got one in a different color (that fit our personalities) with our name on it.

In it had the earrings to wear day of, a beach towel and flip flops that matched our BM dress.

The tote was is really great though!

My MOH bought me a small monogramed jewelery box which I use to keep my earrings in.

My FSIL got us Coach Wristlets which I always use now when I go out and don't want to carry a big bag.

My favorite was the earrings I got from my friends wedding last summer. They're gorgeous, and they were the DOJ! I wear them all the time.

I got the same thing the last wedding I was in! The bag with the flip flops! It was funny too cause we were all looking for flip flops to wear so she had to give them to us early! haha!

Re: Best gifts you've personally recieved for being in the bridal party...

Oh and I got jewlery from my MOH. the funny thing was I wore it a couple years ago around her and she was like, 'I love your necklace! Where did you get it?' I was like, 'Are you serious?'
