What did you buy your bridesmaids?

I just bought the gifts for my girls today and got stupid looks. I bought my girls (since I only have 2) Coach wristlets. Is that out of line? Apparently the girls at the store thought I was nuts... What did you guys/ gals get your bridesmaids?

    I got mine tote bags with a cute "love" logo (Vistaprint!), earrings for the wedding, and Starbucks gift cards, and I'm making to-go coffee mug holders and personalized hangers. I'm a little stuck on my MOH, because she doesn't drink coffee. I can't decide what to get for her instead of the coffee-related things. I think the other three would live at Starbucks if they could, though.

    I got Swiss army knives for both the dude of honor and the maid of honor. They loved them! Then again, I took the precaution of raising both of them so they're as nuts as I am. LOL

    I received a coach wristlet as a BM once. I was thrilled to receive it.

    I'm getting my girls a clutch and tucking day-of jewelry into it.

    I've bought my girls dresses and then I also have bought them tote bags which I DIY'd by putting their name & "role" on it. I've bought my Maid Of Honor a charm to go on her personalized bracelet from Helzberg (just like pandora's bracelets). I want to get them one more thing but I am STUCK on what to get them.

    I ordered them the personalized hangers when one of the Etsy shops had a sale a few weeks ago, so that's one thing off the list Smiley smile

    I plan to also buy them each a small inexpensive clutch to match their BM dresses, packed with emergency must-haves. I'm going to also order mongrammed Tervis-like mugs for all of us for one or two pre-ceremony drinks. If there's still room in the budget, I may buy them each a piece of jewelry. We'll see!

    I want all of the bridesmaids (5 of them) to wear cowgirl boots with me on my wedding day. To eliminate one of the costs for them I’ve offered to purchase their boots as their gift for being a part and helping with the wedding. I’ve been searching around online for imitation ones that look decent and I’m thinking I’ll spend somewhere around $50 for each girl. I think it’s a practical gift because it’s one less expense for them and something they can wear beyond the wedding.

    I think that's an appropriate gift...not crazy at all. I bought their BM dresses and will give them something small @ the rehearsal dinner. I haven't decided what yet - probably a bracelet or something!

    I bought all 5 of my girls Coach wristlets as well. Someone a dew months ago invited me to the online Coach outlet....which is where I bought my gifts. I don't know about you but I can care less what anyone else says about me spending MY money of my bridesmaids. It's NOT like I'm spending their money(although it would be nice)

    So bought my girls cardigans from J. Crew. They can wear them with their dresses if the wedding day ends up being a bit cold. I will probably get them something else, maybe jewelry. I think my mom is planning on paying for the hair and makeup for everyone.

    The girls got pearl pendant necklace and a tote bag. The younger teen guys are getting multi tool knives and the older guys something else not sure yet.
