Re: How much to spend on BP gifts??
It really depends on how many are in your bridal party and how much you are willing to spend on each person.
I have only an MOH and BM, 3 FG and 1 RB, so I can afford to spend a bit more on them than if I had bridesmaids and ushers.

Ditto. Look at your budget and decide from there.
FYI, we had five GMs and five BMs. No separate ushers, ring bearer, or flower girl. We spent about $75 each on the BMs, $100 on the MOH, $75 on the best man, and $50 on the GMs.
Gifts for the women were a Bliss spa set, luggage tags, duffel bag, tote bag, hand-tiled mirror, flip flops. MOH's extra gift was a blanket I crocheted for her (the extra cost does not include my time, only materials). GMs got a cooler. Best man got a leather valet.
Good luck!

Re: How much to spend on BP gifts??
i have a football team sized BP. we are spending about 100 for each person in the the BP, with the exception of the MOH and BM were we are spending about 200-250.
1 moh, 10 bms, 2 jr. bms and 3 fgs.
for the BMs, i am definitely getting all of them their DOJ from annabellagio.com. i'm decided btw. a coach wristlet with an itunes gift card in it OR a vera bradley cosmetics bag and matching tote & a philosophy set. think it depends on the cost when i go to buy everything. for the moh, im also paying for her hair and makeup. lol.
for the the jr. bms, they are getting their DOJ, a jewelry box, and an ipod shuffle.
for the fgs they are getting their DOJ, disney musical box of their favorite princess and possibly a build a bear bride.
for the GMs we are getting them money clips from tiffany's. for the BM we are getting him the money clip and matching cufflinks.

Re: How much to spend on BP gifts??
i have 3 and ill probably end up spending around $300 on each of them - i think its nice to give back to them considering how much they are spending on me during this whole process - eparty gift, the BM dress, the shoes, the shower, the bach party, staying at the hotel for the wedding, the wedding gift, etc. - that is ALOT of money they'll be spending on me - so i want to spoil them! i want to treat them to hair/make up or both, maybe a coach wristlet with a $50 gift card to their fav store inside, mani and pedi week of the wedding - things like that....if i had more people in my BP i wouldnt be able to do as much but there were so many reasons i chose to have a small BP and this was one of them - i chose our sisters and my BF - its really like having my 3 sisters up there with me that day and i love these girls, they are family to me - it makes me want to spend the money on them b/c they are so great

Re: How much to spend on BP gifts??
We spent about $100-110 per BM, and about $40 per GM.
For the girls: pearl necklace and earrings from Overstock, nice leather boxes and cases for the jewelery from Fire Mountain Gems (cause I didn't like the red fuzzy bags from overstock), a monogrammed canvas tote bag from Lands End (these are a good quality bag with pockets and key fobs plus a zipper top), and pedicure sets from the Bass outlet that had a winter theme (had slippers, toe separators, pumice stone, and three pots- lotion, scrub, and foot soak), and my mom made matching shawls for their dresses.
