What are you giving your bridesmaids as gifts?

Hello!

Only 25 days until my big day and I am starting to panic about bridesmaid gifts.

I have my two best friends as 'Maids of Honor's' and my two future sister's in law as 'bridesmaids'.

The girls have been great, we only started planning the wedding before Christmas, so it's all happened very quickly. They are all wearing whatever they like so we are not paying for dresses. (We are having a very small, unconventional city wedding).

Therefore I'd like to buy them a gift, but nothing tacky. When searching for bridesmaid gifts everything looks really cheap and tacky.

What are you giving yours?

I was thinking, these wrapped in a nice box, given to them the night before...

Your thoughts and suggestions much apprechiated, I'm running out of time

Thanks

I think im going to get mine shamballa bracelets, in the same colour as their dresses, purple.

I bought mine a jewellery set from our local jewellers and also doing them a bridesmaid journal each and a wee box of stuff that means something to us

belle, lovely ideas hun, i love them ;o)
toviuk, can i be your bm too hahaxxx

Those tote bags - have a look at Vistaprint - last week I ordered a cotton bag for free and just paid for delivery (about £2-3) and you can design it yourself.

I'm getting mine their jewellery for the day and shoes too. Not giving them to them til the morning of the wedding.
I'm also getting them all a bridesmaid journal too x

I was a bridesmaid for my friend 2 years ago and she gave me a Thomas Sabo bracelet which was really lovely.
I'm struggling for ideas now, i want to get them something to keep but don't have lots to spend! I've googled bridesmaid gifts and everything looks tacky!! Any ideas???

i plan to give mine silver/white gold heart necklaces.
I have an argos card so my plan to use that closer to the time and pay a little while after the wedding. That way I can spend that little bit extra on them but not panic about the pre wedding budget.

i was given a necklace when I was bridesmaid 12 years ago and I still have it and occasionally wear it too.

Failing that I will get bracelets.
