I wanted to get each BM 4 gifts, one for each season. It's a horribly corny idea, I know, but I thought it was cute.
So, I'm having a beach wedding and I found these earrings with pieces of pearlescent shells, so that counts for summer. Then, I'm getting each BM a pashmina in a diff color appropriate for each individual, which is for fall. For winter, to keep warm, each BM gets a Yankee Candle in a color matching her pashmina, and for spring I haven't a clue....
Anyway, two questions:
1. What do you honestly think of these ideas for gifts? 2. Any thoughts for a spring-themed gift? I was thinking maybe I can find a picture frame with flowers on it or something, but everyone ends up with too many frames they hate anyway. Penny for your thoughts, ladies?
TIA!!

I don't know how much you are looking so spend, but Lands End has some great prices on their totes. You can get them the smallest one and put your gifts in it. That bag can count for a spring/summer tote to the beach or on a picnic.

Re: If you were a bridesmaid...
I think that is adorable...I have been a BM many times over and I love gifts that I can actually use. I think your girls would love that. For summer (if you wanted to add something more to the earrings) you could also do a beach tote or throw in a beach towel or something too.
Love it!

I think that is sooooooooooo creative. And I love the umbrella idea. You can maybe do a tote bag with their first initial embroider on it in the color of your dresses.

Ah you girls are awesome! I love the umbrella idea. I might do flipflops for summer too since our wedding is on the beach and they might be more comfy. Whew now this is done thank goodness :)

I think it is great! you are putting a lot of thought into it. The two wedding I have been in, I just got the day of jewelry which is really nice but a personalized touch says a lot!
