Bridesmaid Gifts

Gift giving is always fun, but it’s extremely hard when all your bridesmaids have different personalities and styles. I still wanted to give them the same things, so that they would all have gifts that were representative of our wedding.
I had a really hard time figuring out what I would give them, but after months of searching, I finally found some things I thought they would all like.
Since pink was an important color in the wedding, I decided to have a pink-themed gifts.
I got the girls a bag of goodies. First, personalized pink silk jewelry rolls. I thought this was a classic gift. Youngest sister Flamingo doesn’t wear jewelry, but she has piercings galore. She can store her body jewelry in it.
The second part of their gift, was one Pink 2GB SanDisk Cruzer Gator. I thought this was perfect for them to keep all their photos and important documents. I use Flash drives all the time, and I hope they will too.
I also added a journal for each girl, and I wrote each a personal note on the first page. I mostly thanked them for being part of our wedding and sharing in our special day. It was nice seeing them open their gifts and getting all teary eyed when they read the messages.
For my MOH I got her a little something more. Since she was stressing out more than I was, I got her a gift certificate at a beautiful local spa—perfect to help her relax.
They seemed really happy with their gifts… I hope they use them all!
Did you give your bridesmaid a themed gift?

I got my bridesmaids things that would be useful for the wedding. One of my favorite things was a silk pashmina that my MOH brought back from Singapore (she got 8 of them at a great price).
Then I added ballet-style slippers to wear at the reception, a necklace, and a personalized gift. For the younger girls (college-aged) I got them a pink flask with their monogram. For the older girls (post-college) I got them a towel wrap with their monogram.
The gifts were a huge hit!

I’m confused… isn’t pashmina a “fine cashmere?”
Are you referring to shawls when you say pashmina?
so cute!
did u give the moh her gift in front of the others? curious if that was an issue at all…
@Mr. Bee: Yes I did Mr.Bee, I don’t think the my sisters noticed, but if they did… no one made a big deal about it.
My MOH is different than my bridesmaids: different bouquet, different dress so why would her gift be different 
But again I never even thought that it would cause a riot . lol
I love those jewelry rolls! Would you mind sharing where you found them?
I really like the pink croc flash drive! How clever!
@Tjada: They sell them on TheKnot and weddingchannel.com but I got mine at weddingchannel.com. They have more deals.
They are reg: 25.99 plus 7$ for emboridery and I got mine for 19.99 plus 7$.

About Me: I am a passionate designer who loves anything pretty. I heart all paper products (eco-friendly of course). My passion revolves around anything considered glamour; vintage and modern. In my free time, I love reading Martha mags, designing jewelry and making a pit-stop at Starbucks for a chai latte. I'm also a chocoholic at heart and my family drools over my homemade truffles.
My bridesmaids will be in lavender & platinum, and a couple of the parts of their gifts are a platinum-colored double mirror compact and pashminas they can wear with their strapless dresses for my April wedding in the Colorado Rockies (oops…. that’s what happens when a couple of Louisiana girls pick out dresses for a winter wedding).
