I am already giving my BMs the jewelry but I wanted to give them a little something personalized- The issue is I have 8 bridesmaids so I can't go too expensive
I don't know how long you've known your BM's, but I've known all of mine for over 10 years.
I plan to buy each of them a double picture frame (from like Walmart or Target) and on one side put the oldest pic I can find of us together and then on the other side leave blank for a pic of their choice from the wedding. Kind of like a 'now and then' thing

Re: Cheap Personalized gift?
The picture idea always makes for a great gift. And it's affordable.
I gave my girls gift cards to the places they liked the most, b/c as much as I wanted to do this same thing and personalize something, it just was too time consuming and costly.
I would like to suggest looking on Etsy.com though. Most of the vendors do personalization on their items, made to order. So if you find something cheap, maybe you can get it personalized and since you are buying so many, maybe they can cut you a deal.
I do have to say that I love the ring bowls, for anyone who wears jewelry, I think it's a cute idea. And you can totally personalized them. HTH! Good Luck.

I honestly don't love it, but you know your girls better than I do.
I personally like silver plated personalized items, like mirrors or jewelry boxes. The good thing about the ones you have in the link (which you need to fix, btw... you forgot the first portion of the 'L' thing so the link becomes clickable) is that they look sturdy so they wouldn't break.
Since you don't HAVE to get more and this is totally up to you, any additional gifts you give them is very generous and sweet, so do whatever you'd like and are happy about giving.

I would love to give them a silver plated mirror or frame but I can't afford it for 8 of them. I might do it just for the 3 maids of honor/matron and not do anything else for the otehr girls.

Watch for Sales at like Macy's and stuff. They Mark down things like crazy or try overstock. you'll get better quality jewelry at a much more affordable cost. Also check out Big Lots, they always have nice frames and stuff really marked down.

I think that is cute! What girl can't use an extra mirror??? I still have a compact that someone gave me from a wedding years ago. I love it.
What about Things Remembered???

Why don't you try Michael's, Target, or Christmas Tree Shoppe? They have the cutest personalized stuff, mainly just initials not names, for $1!

I may- the main issue is I don't have a car- so it is really tough for me to get places. That is why i love the internet!

If you want something personalized, I would recommend going to Something Precious or Red Envelope which offers all kinds of personalized items from jewerly to wine glasses at affordable prices. Something that would be really fun & cute for your BM's are personalized hoodies from AE or Gap. Go on Tuesdays, Gap gives an additional 10% and AE gives 20% to card holders. Unfortunately for the personalized hoodies, there are no clearance/sales. It's bwn 35-40 which can get a bit pricey. However, if you rack up points with your purchases with Gap, they mail a $20 card. For AE, you get points for buying clothes, it depends on what you buy and towards the end *(for 250+ pts) you get a 40% off for up to $1000 purchase. Honestly, with monogram purses/mirrors, I don't really see too many BM's using it except on the day of the wedding. Spending an extra 15 gives them something they can use and wear again.
