Re: bridesmaid gifts

I was thinking of hitting up the Coach outlet around holiday time when they have INSANE sales and getting them Coach bags.

I think a lot of people go to LLBean and I think The Knot also does totes.

I ordered plain tan tote bags for $3 each from amazon, and I'm taking them to tri-county to get airbrushed. Each girl with have their own design on their tote.

You can also do this with tanks if you wish.

Re: bridesmaid gifts

I am getting my girls:

An embroidered tote bag

A butterfly compact mirror

DOJ (but not necessarily fancy keepsake jewlery, something appropriate for the dress)

Monogrammed trinkets I bought at Michaels (a metal tin, tissues, a pearl pin for the BOK, a journal)

A mini manicure set

A picture frame

ELF makeup

And probably some other things. I want to give a nice big bag of things. I am finding good deals for a lot of these items on eBay. Total, I don't think each BM gift will be more than $40. I would love to do the Coach wristlet, but a lot of us already have them (we tend to give them as birthday presents) that it wouldn't seem special to me.

Re: bridesmaid gifts

I got them totes from American Bridal while they were having the $5 sale. My gifts for my BM's are the following:

Tote bags
Makeup cases
Jewelry pouches
Makeup brush kit
Lip gloss kit
Bath products kit (MOH's only)
Double picture frame - I'm going to put and old picture of me with each one of my BM's on one side and leave the other side blank for their choice of pic from the wedding.
Isotoner ballet slippers

And I've only spent $40 per girl so far!

Still want to buy:
DOJ

I also might buy them something else like a robe or something...depends on finances.

ETA: My girls also have the option of free mani/pedis. My sister (MOH) is a manicurist

Re: bridesmaid gifts

I got mine on american bridal when they had their five dollar sale! I was surpirsed how good quality they were. I didn't go personalization cuz I am going to personalize tanks and maybe makeup bags...didn't want too much personalization. If I did i would do them at a store, not on site because that was an extra 10$....
