Girls - help re: bm gifts

Ok .. so a few days ago I posted about getting my bm's brooches to attach to the dresses.

Well, I FINALLY found them, but here's the kicker - their $90 each and I need 6 of them...plus I wanted to get them earrings...

I'm figuring if I could get earrings for about $40-50, that would be fine --

But, is it cheesy JUST to get them that? Should I buy them ne thing additional?!

No that is enough and not cheap at all!

See if you can haggle b/c you're buying six.

It's def enough though!!! Put them in a pretty jewelry box as a keepsake too!

This one from Lenox is $20:

IMHO, if I got a brooch as my gift for being in your wedding, I'd be ticked. Not something that I will ever wear again so it's basically a waste of your money. KWIM? I would suggest haggle for a lower price and get them something else.

If you don't have your heart set on the brooches, maybe get only earrings

IMO I'd haggle the prices for the brooches- I think they sound nice.. but pricey.
I also like the idea of getting a small box for them with w/e you get them- I'd maybe get them the earrings minus the brooch if you can't afford both though.
