Its up to the individual taste it really is but I think its awful! But like I say thats individual taste.
It really depends what your bridesmaids like!
My bridesmaids gifts are made into what they need for the day as I cant afod to get them loads of seperate presents and Im having 5!
They have their shoes, wraps and dreses that they can keep if they want. Then I have brought them all matching silver and garnet earrings which they can wear for the day and then keep!

thanks just needed some confirmation, I think they are pretty awful too, why cant they do nice stuff! I like the sound of the compact mirror idea, I thought a frame might be nice but they all just look sooo tacky.

How about getting them individual presents if they are very different people?

Mmm....a little bit yeah. But then I can't talk I've bought these for the whole wedding party (the girls have these and the boys have tankards of the same design)

I am getting them something else as well (I just haven't figured out what yet )
I thought they'd be fun for a glass of champers together while we're getting ready

I don't think they are tabky...if it is something you think they will like, and use. They may not be to everyone's taste but you know your friends best.

Can I just as an aside refer you to this blog on Offbeat Bride about tackiness. Interesting reading!

I got my bridesmaids a glass diamond which is a paperweight and it came in a box, then went and had them engraved, so it was personal.

My girls ( adults) have expensive taste which i could not afford, so that is why i got them.

I got my 2 adult bridesmaids these ornamental perfume bottles:

and also a silver gemstone ring each - one got one with an amethyst in it and the other got an aquamarine.

The 2 flowergirls each got a keepsake book about being a junior bridesmaid and a delicate pendant on a chain in silver.

They were all happy with their gifts.
