    I got mine each a purse in color of their choice with their initials monogrammed on it, but the purses are big enough to be bags they can use the day of the wedding. I also got them monogrammed bracelets, matching necklaces that they are all wearing for the wedding, and personalized hangers with their names. For the hangers, I just bought wooden hangers at WalMart, and I got vinyl decals of their names on Etsy for $0.99 each, and made the hangers myself. I'm also going to do the personalized mason jars for the bridal party table at the wedding.

    I'm getting each a tote bag and a monogrammed oxford,but those are more for pictures. I'll get each girl something unique to their personality

    I am making little gift boxes for each girl, it will have a little bottle of wine, a personalized wine glass that I am making with Sharpie, a necklace (I know you do not want jewelry) and day of essentials like mouthwash, deodorant and Advil. I will put in a cute little box or bag and make it fancy Smiley smile

    I plan on giving them all individualized gifts. I did find leather passport covers for my two friends who travel a lot, and then a personalized lanyard/badge holder for my teacher BM. I'm not done shopping just yet.

    I know the dishes are little pricey, but I like that I can get each of them a different one in their birthstone color. They all wear rings which they take off to do dishes and stuff, so I thought it'd be practical, too. I haven't 100% decided on them yet, but it's a starting point. :-)

    My favorite gifts as a BM were: a picture of me and the bride and a glass marked with the date and name of wedding/couple. Unfortunately, the glass broke on my way home, but I sure liked it! Something I got for *my* wedding that I loved, that always seems like it would be a perfect gift is a fully-stocked toiletry kit. Now, instead of having to collect my floss, toothpaste, etc. every time I travel, I just grab my kit and I know it's got everything!

    I'm getting my 4 BM's personalized Starbucks to go cups since Starbucks has been our go to for vent sessions since we were in high school. There's no rule that says you have to get them all the same thing, it just worked out that way for me.

    IMO anything you get them for the day of the wedding/getting ready pictures (robes, jewelry, mani/pedi, etc.) is not a gift.

    I got mine leather Coach wristlets at the Coach Outlet for around $32 ea (but retail is $79 so it's fantastic). I also got them floral satin robes and personalized hangers, and I'm making them earrings, but everyone here would say if they use it for the wedding or pictures it's not a gift. Either way, they're getting that package from me and knowing my girls, they will see it all as a gift.

    I shopped like it was for their birthdays. None of my girls would ever want or use stuff like robes, hangers, monogrammed anything, personalized wine glasses or tumblers. I got them all Urban Decay eyeshadow palettes and the rest was different for each one.

    MOH got eyeliners, a candle and candle holder, shower gels, bath salts, bath bomb and soap gift set from Lush, and a book called "Why You're My Bestie."

    Bridesmaid 1 got a candle from Etsy that she'd been wanting, custom coasters for her new apartment, and a bath bomb.

    Bridesmaid 2 got an amethyst Druzy wine stopper and two wine scented candles that are made in upcycled wine bottles.

    I also bought gifts for my FSIL because she's officiating. She travels a lot, so she got a travel luggage scale, a packing list notepad, an in-flight facial moisturizer, and a super cute eye mask.

    What about a basket of bath/spa products? I'm not really of fan of bridesmaid gifts that are really specific to your wedding because it's just not likely that they'll really use them much, other than for the getting ready photos.

    @Holly I think they are gifts! Obviously to each their own, but my BMs haven't been in wedding parties before so it wasn't like they received "yet another ___" that they will never use.
