I'm trying to figure out what to get my girls as their bridal party gifts. Is this a cute idea? Pretty sure we decided on the guys gift which would be a personalized pocket knife. I'm sitting here thinking I wouldn't be mad receiving this as a bridal party gift. I think it's different and unique. I know I just don't have one of these laying around my house. A lot of them I saw u can also get them in different colors which I think would be nice. I know it's not the usual personalized gift with their name on it. Thoughts?

Personally, I wouldn’t know what to do with this. It’s pretty but not my style at all

For me, personally, I would probably end up donating or throwing this away. I just wouldn’t have anywhere to display it since it doesn’t fit my home’s decor/style.

This is very beautiful, but I’ll be honest with you, I just stared at this picture for a while trying to figure out what it really is. I would be very grateful, but as a bride, I think you should spend the money on something more practical for your girls!
But I don’t know, do your girls collect things like this? You know them more than any of us do! But if it were me, I would not know what to do with this kind of gift.

I wouldn’t use this & would probably end up donating it. I purchased some of my gifts on Etsy. Bought earrings at a farmer’s market. I work at a hospital & the gift shop was having a clearance sale- bought specialty soaps & jams. Most expensive thing I purchased was a balsamic & olive oil set at a locally owned shop near where we live.

It's pretty but it's a dust collector that will get donated or tossed immediately.
No one likes the peronalized name/title/date gift so pick something that they can enjoy long after the wedding is over. What are their hobbies and interests? Etsy is a great place to browse.

An olive oil set?! What a unique gift idea!

I agree with the others. It’s not something I would keep or use.

I’d rather something I could use like wine, olive oil, bath salts and nice slipper socks.

What is this? Is this a decorative flower? Either way, I definitely would not want this as a bridesmaids gift. Sorry

I would take 1 look, say it is lovely, which it truly is, and off to Goodwill. Each of your women is different. Nothing personalized with my name, not the wedding dates and names either, on anything. But something they would use. Anyone who knows me well enough to ask me to be BM knows I would rather a couple of bulbs to plant in my garden, or a thousand other things I would use. Stuff like this, never.

I still have no idea what this is, so I'm going to echo what others have said and suggest that you come up with something a bit more practical. It's pretty, whatever it is lol.

As with the others, I would probably admire that it is pretty, say thank you, but then ultimately re-gift it or donate it. It's definitely not something I would hold on to or put around my house. However, everyone's taste is different and you know your bridesmaids' decorating tastes better than strangers off the internet.

I have no idea what that is. I would probably feel obligated to keep it for awhile and then donate it after a few months.

Agree with above notes, I am thinking of getting champagne flutes (we can use for mimosas while getting ready) and maybe something like a candle. But I don't think ill get anything super expensive.
