One of my favorite gifts I received as a bridesmaid was a CD. One of my best friends was the bride, and she made each of a CD of songs that were special to just us. Each CD was different, and having known eachother so long, some songs were from back in the day...and present. I literally laughed and cried the first time I heard this CD...and I still keep it in my CD changer and listen to it!!

I've been a bridesmaid 7 or 8 times and the best gift I received was a Gucci scarf for being maid of honor for one of my girlfriends. She got married 10 years ago and I still use it.

I have been a BM more times then I care to count. best gift I ever got was an engraved jewlery box with my BM jewlery in it.

But I absolutely ADORE the CD idea and might just use that one for my BM's

I received a Coach wristlet. I use it when I go out or as a smaller makeup bag to keep in my purse. I love it.

I gave my girls pashminas as part of their gift. They wore them to stay warm during outdoor pics and have been able to use them all winter as scarves. They can also wear them with other dresses in the future. All of them told me what a great gift it was.

My sister gave out the Elsa Peretti bean from Tiffany. This was really special because the bean signfies new beginnings, so it was to celebrate the start of her new life.

My sister gave everyone these sterling silver key chain lockets from Tiffany's. They are awesome!

that's one of the best ideas i've heard. so much more meaningful than some of the other stuff i've been finding.

My friend gave us pirate rubber duckies and plastic water bottles. Seriously.

Was there some type of inside joke?

This is a great idea I would love to do it but I just don't know if I will have enough time to do it

Not really, she's just a bit strange. I still love her though.
