BM's gift question

I am so torn as to what to get for my BM's. I was originally thinking something Tiffany, but, I don't want to get them something that isn't their style. I don't want to get them day of jewelry.

I think that I might pay for all of them to get their hair done on the day of, and then get them this tote from LL Beans:

Tote

And fill it with day of stuff. Bobby pins, hair spray, deodorant, flip flops.... etc.

What do you girls think? Is this a good idea, or cheesy?

i think its a cute idea. most of the times when you do jewelry, you cant match everyones personal style, every piece of jewelry ive got ive hated, lol. unless you do something classic like pearls or something. i like the tote idea though. once i got a gift certifcate for a massage, that was nice too. good luck deciding!

Thanks! I also want to get them the bridesmaid tanks, for the day of, getting ready.... etc.

And I thought for my MOH, I'll also pay for her makeup to be done, if she wants to get it done, or I'll get her something else, not sure what yet though.

I'd love to do a gift cert. but, two of my BM's live in Baltimore, so, it would be a PITA.

I enjoy the LLBean tote. It comes in lots of cute colors and what not now. I'm thinking about coach wristlets also.

Exactly, I'm definitely thinking about how cute the pics will look!!

And, I thought about adding the coach wristlet, but, after hair, and the tote,and the stuff inside, I'm thinking that it will already be well over $100.

What is the normal amount to spend?

Cute ideas, Amanda! I've been reading on here that a lot of girls make their own tank tops (get the shirt from Old navy for cheap and buy iron-ons) which will save you money... A lot of sites are selling them for like 30$ you can DEFINITELY make them for cheaper than that.

I love the tote! that is what I am doing, with a gift certificate for a mani/pedi, flip flops, the tank-top and some things from bath and body works.

Yeah, I think I might add travel size bath and body stuff. I want to just fill it with a lot of cute things, and definitely a lot of things they can use on the day of.
