Gifts for the Girls

Gifts for the Girls

When it came time to buy gifts for my bridesmaids, I really wanted to get them something lasting, like jewelry. But the more I looked and the more I thought about what I consider “lasting”, I realized I was probably going to fail. There are very few pieces of jewelry I would consider classic for my personal style. So I felt way too pressured to find something perfect for their personalities.

If by some off chance either of my bridesmaids are reading, move along!

Instead of getting a piece of fine jewelry, I went the grab bag approach. The first thing I got for both of them was a bangle set.

Then I went the personal route. For bridesmaid T, who is a little boho, I got her a fun Tory Burch cosmetics bag, along with Clinique lip gloss and a complementing Essie polish.

For bridesmaid M, whose style I’d describe as classic all American, I got her a patent leather Kate Spade wristlet, stuffed with lip gloss and polish too.

Each of their gifts were about $100 total. I was really good about shopping sales and watching the clearances. I love both of the gifts and want them for myself, so hopefully they think the same!

Did you find it difficult picking out gifts for your bridesmaids?

wow, i think those are great choices! they certainly blow any bridesmaid gifts i have received right out of the water! i have no idea what i am going to get my attendants. my attendants are my siblings, though, so i dunno. i want it to be something personal, and something they can really use. hmmm, you have gotten me thinking on this…

I loved finding my girls their gifts. Both have simlar taste in jewelry, so I had necklaces custom made for them. Opal for one and Garnet for the other… Their kids birthstones and it just so happened that my colors are red and white, so it worked out perfectly.
Then I got them both Converse Tennis shoes… they threatened to wear lime green and pink shoes with their Cherry Red dresses, so I bought them Lime Green and Hot pink converse .. Comfy for the reception and they will totally wear them again.

I love the idea of the lip gloss and nail polish in a wristlet…

Those are awesome gifts! I have no idea what to get my bridesmaids and MOH yet. I love that you did something personalized to each of them but still along the same lines. Hmmm…timed to ponder the options!
