Brides-people Gifts: What are you giving to your bridesmaids?

I'm getting married on June 23rd. I have 1 Matron of Honor, 9 Bridesmaids and 1 Bridesman. There aren't as many gift ideas out there for bridesmen as there are for bridesmaids.

I'm getting married on June 23rd. I have 1 Matron of Honor, 9 Bridesmaids and 1 Bridesman. There aren't as many gift ideas out there for bridesmen as there are for bridesmaids. I did my best to find items that fit the following requirements:

1) I decided that my gifts would be as gender neutral as possible. If something is a little too feminine for him, he can always share it with his girlfriend.
2) No clothing items. I am a plus sized bride myself and I have girls of all different sizes, including my sister who just gave birth last week, and a man in my bridal party. I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable, especially since I, myself, have body image issues. I'm just going to tell everyone to wear black leggings and a button down shirt to get ready in.

So far, I bought ten of these tote bags in navy and one in white with powder blue embroidered initials.

I also want to get ten of these tumblers from Tervis in indigo and one in white.

For the children, one of my bridesmaids is designing and drawing a coloring book with a Jewish wedding theme. There are so many wedding themed coloring books out there, but next to nothing for Jewish weddings. So I offered to pay her $50 plus the cost of materials. She's already working on the rough drafts and they're looking good!

Do any of you have men in your bridal party that aren't groomsmen? How are you handling buying your Brides-People gifts? I wanna see your ideas! ❤

    I have 1 Matron of Honor, 2 bridesmaids and 1 flower girl. I got them all tote bags with there names on it, and satin robes with there titles on it (I wanted those corny getting ready pixs!). I also got my two bridesmaids a small travel jewelry case and my MOH a travel emergency hair kit. I plan on getting the flower girl some coloring books and things to help keep her entertained as we get ready and can be used during the reception, she is only 3. All of the above (minus the travel items those came from Kohl's) got from Personalized Brides and everything was on sale!!

    I have 2 flower girls and 1 ring barer. I also have 3 "unofficial" flower girls: two 2 year olds and 1 2 month old (by wedding time).

    For the older kids, I've hired one of my best friends (and bridesmaid) to design a coloring book using the children's likenesses in the book. I'm also considering ordering custom made name crayons on Etsy to go with them. Tonight, we went to a carnival and picked up a stuffed animal for each of them.
