Help with BM gifts!!

My bridesmaids are all very different and have very different tastes in everything. I have NO IDEA what to get them! I can't get them all the same jewelry, and not everyone likes spa treatments. I feel like gift certificates are too impersonal, but...do I have any other choice? I am at a loss! What should I do?

A few of the girls gave out robes with their initals on it. I thought that was a really nice gift.
Some give jewelry. You don't have to give them the same things. You can get something different for each one. One may love a gift certificate to her hair salon, gift cert for a nice restaurant or a little compact with their name engraved on it.

Re: Help with BM gifts!!

I'm in the same situation as you. I have 7 BM and 2 Jr BM - all very different. So, I got different gifts:

Coach make-up bags for some

LL Bean monogrammed robes and spa 'stuff' for two

Tiffany's ring for one

My MOH gift is a secret (she is a bride on here
)

I'm also paying for manicures and a luncheon the day before the wedding.

I bought each girl something totally different: One I got a necklace, one a coach bag, one a prada wallet, and one a spa certificate! I think that they will appreciate the fact that you treat them as individuals and take the time to get them something tailored just to them!

Re: Help with BM gifts!!

I got my girls monogrammed bathrobes and spa stuff in a big basket. BUT you can get them each a different gift.There are NO rules that say everyone has to be the same. BUt I also got my MOHs a special extra something and those were very different.
I got all of the guys different gifts- I got the golf players monogram Travel golf bags, one William-Sonoma monogram coasters for his den, another an Eddie Baur monogram duffle bag, another monogram shot glasses and the 2 JR. GMs Fossil watches.
No need to get everyone the same thing.
