Official~BM/GM Gift Thread~~WE ALL NEED HELP!!!

We all need help!!!! Lets start a thread.

Lets list suggestions. B/c I want to start purchasing them soon to get it over and done with!

If we help each other, than we can maybe all get good deals and get it over and done with!

I am a deal/discount finder. And I maybe also able to tap into a couple of hookups. So lets all work together and make this one less thing to worry about

BMs: Got them the bags from AmericanBridal, and then I'm going to fill the bags with DOJ and personal items because we're staying in a hotel the night before. So travel sized: shampoo, conditioner, brush, toothpaste, etc.

MOHs: I will probably add spa gift certificate for my these two girls.

GMs: No idea. HELP!

A friend of mine did ties. It was a wonderful idea. FH still wears his on the occasion.

For BM's I got them tote bags with makeup bags that go inside...I'll probably get the makeup bags personalized. As soon as I pick the colors for the dresses I'll start looking into DOJ

GM's FH wants to get the best man a watch....not sure about what else...

Re: Official~BM/GM Gift Thread~~WE ALL NEED HELP!!!

i am going to see if i can get any DOJ from Macy's around the holidays (like black friday) where usually they have the best deals

Sandradv121 Posted: Feb 20, 2009 01:17 PM

Re: Official~BM/GM Gift Thread~~WE ALL NEED HELP!!!

I was thinking maybe of doing DOJ for the girls, but I am not sure. FH wanted to something dif. for the guys, but I always have to remind him we are on a budget...

Re: Official~BM/GM Gift Thread~~WE ALL NEED HELP!!!

I went to coach outlets in the poconos and got my girls a great deal on coach bags, for bm's got the regular size bags and for MOH a big one. Jr Bm got her a wristlet.

I know they have a coach outlet in LI so can check that one out.

DH and his GM all wore burberry ties for the wedding so we got them the ties.

Re: Official~BM/GM Gift Thread~~WE ALL NEED HELP!!!

So far I have gotten each of them Sapphire and diamond accent bracelets, Looking into possibly making each a customized jewelry box, and depending on the dresses we go with, a purse to go with it.

Thought about the totes, or the Robes, so it is a work in progress.

Right now there should be some good sales at the various outlet malls, or seeing what comes up as a great deal around Black Friday or the companies going out of business

Re: Official~BM/GM Gift Thread~~WE ALL NEED HELP!!!

BM's:
I already bought them the $5 totebags and cosmetic bags from American Bridal. I also plan to get them jewelry, slippers, and some other little things (not sure what yet) to fill the bags.

GM's
FH plans to get his guys watches. FH loves watches, so it's very appropo.
