I am trying to figure out my Gifts to my Bridesmaid's so I can start budgeting for it. I don't want to go the jewelry route (any wedding Jewelry I have gotten I have hated), I doubt my girls will want something with the date on it, and big monogrammed bags will only be cared for by one or two of the 5 of them. So here is my Idea: A decent yet inexpensive Wicker basket from a craft store with ribbon in the wedding colors on the handles. In the basket I will put a bottle of wine from the Fingerlakes region of New York (That is where my FH is from), a small Penn State momento (That is where I am from) and a pair of cute black flip flops for them to change into for the reception if they don't want to wear their heels anymore. Then I might fill it in a bit with candy. Oh! And my 14 year old sister would be getting sparkling grape juice and NOT wine lol Does this sound like something you would enjoy? I know its something I would prefer over jewelry. And they all drink wine (Except the 14 year old) What do you think?
--------------------
I really like the concept, but I disagree with the content. Remember, this is a gift for THEM, who cares what college you attended. The wine idea is cute, but too big and cumbersome perhaps. Candy? These are grown women we are talking about. Like the flip flops idea. Make those nice flip flops I would give them a $50 Sephora gift certificate and save your self time and money. Mismatched odd and ends are not going to be appreciated. Something that they can use will be. Good luck PS/ Jayne, make it then Victorias secret Gift card. All women love those and you cannot go wrong. When I got married, I gave a basket full of bath and body works lotions and potions, VS make up, expensive VS powder etc. and I regret it. It didn't occur to me that perhaps they didn't care about that brand or the scent that I chose. I wish that I could go back in time and give them a gift card instead. Good luck and congrats!!! ETA2/ Love the local truffles idea : ) I would give them the the truffles, the flips and a $25 GC to VS, that would be useful, personal and a treat for them. For the minor, a gift card to GAP, Hollister or American Eagle, Target or whatever kids like to shop nowadays. Good job ; ).
