jennyann2 Cut Rock Total Posts: 117 Last Post: 3/6/2006 Member Since: 11/7/2004	I am looking for any ideas at all for bridesmaids gifts. What are you doing? What about parent gifts? I am looking for something nice but not super pricey....maybe ~$75 per girl.

MelissaSue Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,006 Last Post: 10/30/2006 Member Since: 7/12/2004	I'm not sure what i'm doing. I'm thinking of doing some sort bag (purse, totebag etc..) and then some spa-type gifts.. I love the Bath and Body works true blue spa line.. Awesome lotions and stuff.. So maybe one of their gift sets, or I saw somoen there making their own gift basket.. They had a HUGE basket and it all rang up to less than $75.. I was amazed. I work at Victorias secret, so if a cute fragrance gift set comes out there that I like I may use my dscount to get those. These are "lingerie bags" but I think they'd make really cute gifts.. and they go with my color scheme or these little pouches I also like this tote bag Ooooh..I just went to the things remembered website and these are ON SALE.. $50 for this one. They are also having buy one get one half off.. I'm seriously considering purchasing these. http://www.thingsremembered.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10001_10001_562810_-1_1 and $70 for this one http://www.thingsremembered.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10001_10001_562823_-1_1

teebee Ideal Rock Total Posts: 812 Last Post: 6/7/2006 Member Since: 4/16/2004	Crap... I replied to this but I guess I had a computer hiccup or something... Okay, this is still fairly tentative but I'm planning on getting my girls these totes (in green) from ballarddesign.com ($19-$35 depending on size/style): And then I'm planning on filling it with various items centering around a kind of fresh green color & spa theme: bath wash and body cream, mini bottle of champagne, a candle, picture frame, flip-flops, etc., and maybe these earrings: Like I said, these are just ideas for now ~ the only thing set in stone are the totes, I love them!! ~teebee~

MelissaSue Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,006 Last Post: 10/30/2006 Member Since: 7/12/2004	So I bought the spa baskets from Things Remembered. They were $50 each but buy one get one half off, so buying four I basically got one free. $161 with tax for 4 baskets. Free shipping too. I have seen them in the store and thought they were very pretty. So I hope they are as nice as I remembered. So that will be the bulk of the BM gift, I'll probably still get them some sort of purse or tote bag too though.

teebee Ideal Rock Total Posts: 812 Last Post: 6/7/2006 Member Since: 4/16/2004	Thanks Jennyann ~ I love the earrings too so I think I'm going to go ahead and get them... My only hold up is not knowing absolutely without a doubt that my girls will wear green. I'm about 95% positive that they will, but there's that chance they will wear black instead... Anyhow... I found the earrings at Overstock.com. I didn't see any EXACTLY like them in garnet, but I found this necklace & earring set that looks pretty similar. This is $59.99 for the set so you wouldn't have much $ left over for other stuff, but there wouldn't be any tax and their shipping charges are $1 right now (even their normal shipping charge is a bargain at $2.95): ~teebee~

flopkins Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,025 Last Post: 1/20/2009 Member Since: 11/15/2004	hey melissa sue- are those lingerie bags and jewelry bags from VS? those are so cute!!! as for myself, I'm thinking of doing a bm lunch the day before the wedding, with mani/pedis for my girls after the bm lunch. I'm also planning on doing some monogram bags and stuffing them w/a jewelry roll w/their bm jewelry (one of my bm does beading, so I'm hoping I can get her to make most of the stuff herself) and some flip flops etc... it depends how the budget goes at that point! but I really want to do monogram bags of some kind! I think they're so cute!

Morticia Ideal Rock Total Posts: 848 Last Post: 12/18/2008 Member Since: 9/27/2004	I think monogram bags are cute. LL Bean has some really nice ones (under $75). I also think monogram terry bath wraps are a cute idea. http://www.digital-threads.com/womens-bath-wraps-m120ww.html

PunchNPie75 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,227 Last Post: 2/9/2008 Member Since: 8/5/2004	Im probably getting them cz tennis bracelets that look very real (they better, really pricey!) I wanted to get them something to wear and match each other on the wedding day but also something that they can wear every day if they want, They are fairly simple and classic. Not sure but we will get them something else too. My favorite color is sparkle!!!

MelissaSue Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,006 Last Post: 10/30/2006 Member Since: 7/12/2004	flopkins- no the bags are all from exclusivelyweddings.com. I absolutely LOVE all their stuff. The bags are adorable.. and their gifts for Flowergirls are just SOOO precious and way nicer than stuff I see on other websites.. They also have a picture frame I want to get my Daddy. This is what I am getting my flowergirls.. btw and and probably also t-shirts that say flowergirl, but not the ones from exclusively weddings, because I have a two year old and a size year old for flowergirls, and it was almost IMPOSSIBLE to find flowergirl tshirts that came in both toddler and childs sizes. I am really excited about the spa baskets. It is a great price.. with the discounts, they come out to $40 a basket with tax.. (36 without).. I remember thinking when I saw them that $100 wasn't even a bad price for them (some of things remembered stuff is RIDICULOUSLY overpriced) but more than I wanted to spend!. They have a robe, bath salts, lotion, a big candle, (all lavendar scented) and a little jewelery box.. This is a pic of the spa baskets.. I couldn't make them post before

qtiekiki Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,655 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 11/14/2004	I am thinking about getting my girls Coach purses or wristlets, personalized bracelets and pashimas. The only thing I bought already is the bracelet so far. The other things are not set in stone yet. __________________________ "New Year's Eve is amateur night and resolutions are for fools." - Phil Jackson

That's what im doing! I figured that way everyone would in town and be on time for the rehersal! I forgot i got them flip-flops too... Target had cute little blacks ones with a flower for a $1 that ive wrapped blue ribbon around so they match their dresses for them to wear at the reception. I have a matching pair in white. For our moms (have no clue what to get my father, let alone FFIL) i got them a canvas bag like the BMs and these cute little picture pockets also from Lillian Vernon. I know my mom loves carrying around pics in her purse and figured theyd both want to share wedding pics. Teebee - I love those earrings too! qtiekiki - If i got a Coach purse/wristlet for a BM gift, id love you forever and ever!
