Unique and inexpensive bridemaids gift ideas?
Can I please get a little feedback on what kind of gifts I should get my bridesmaids? I have never been a bridesmaid before, so I personally don't know what brides give. I want to get them something nice, but since there are 6 bridemaids everything I want to put together, the price is multiplied by 6!!! Can anyone give me some advice on unique and inexpensive bridemaids gift ideas?

- Gift Certificates to get a mani/pedi. I would say a good amount would be $30. Lots of nail salons have deals. Like on Thursdays you get a mani/pedi for $30. $30x6=$180 Not bad.
- I would have a make up party and get all their colors done. Then buy them the make up. That way they get nice make up and you get the added bonus of having all your attendants look amazing on the wedding day.
- It depends on your bridesmaids and what they like...you can go to http://www.sweetmemorybaskets.com/ http://www.myweddingfavors.com/bridesmaids.html http://www.personalizationmall.com/Category.aspx?storeid=7&categoryid=1068
- go to ebay and type in your search you get great items in bulk...I had a winter wedding and bought '"coach" brand snowflake key chain with bling bling on them...they were beautiful... hope this helped
- Check out websites like www.lillianvernon.com, www.bridalpeople.com, and www.findgift.com. I used these sites to find things for my girls, and I did it a little bit at a time, so it wasn't a HUGE chunk out of my $$$ at one time. I had 6 girls, too, so I know how pricey it can get. I ended up getting then tote bags, and jewelry (my aunt made them, so I just paid for the materials), and for the 2 MOH's, I got them engraved compact mirrors from Things Rememberd (watch for their sales!!!), and they turned out great!!!! Good luck and I hope this helps!!!!
- Alot of girls tend to get their bridemaids something to do with the wedding. Jewerly so all the girls match, Mani/pedi, purses. Here is a cute little store at a good price: http://www.mybridesmaidsgifts.com/ They have alot of gifts at $20.00, so you can get a cute gift without breaking the bank. They have a section for unique gifts. I always loved the: http://www.msandmrs.com/bridesmaid.php
- I have six girls, and I got on eBay and got them spa robes that were embroidered with their names. They turned out beautifully and were $25 x 6 = $150. If you want to know about the vendor I got them from, e-mail me and I'll tell you more. :)
- This is from my MySpace blog ... It can sometimes be a little difficult to find that perfect gift for your bridesmaids. Each person is so unique and, in some cases, have been there for you during different part of your life. Well, here are a few great ideas to think about when looking for the perfect gift. Does she loves to cook?? Get her a gift certificate to a wine store, make her an upscale gift basket, treat her to a 5-star dinner, buy some cute kitchen accessories, or treat her some gourmet chocolates. Does she love the arts?? Buy her tickets to the theater, make her a movie night gift basket, find a first edition novel, give movie theater gift cards, or take her to a dinner theater. Does she love unique items?? Purchase personalized stationary, take her antique shopping, get a gift certificate to a clothing boutique or buy her dance lessons. Does she love luxury?? Buy her massage sessions, pay for a manicure/pedicure, offer to take her on a spa day, give her silk pajamas and slippers or get her a silk robe. Is she a Martha Stewart?? Make her a photo album or scrapbook, pair candles and soaps in a gift basket, pair homemade jams/jellies with gourmet breads or make an earring/necklace set for her to wear at the wedding.
