When we left off I had given gifts to 2 of my girls. Well, now that the wedding is over, I’ve given all my gifts away. As you might remember (or maybe you don’t) I decided to get each of my girls something that made me think of them. I thought of it more like a Christmas or birthday gift. With that in mind I picked out the following gifts:

For Sister Fro Yo I got her a bracelet, earrings and a Visa gift card:

I can’t find the earrings. I’m lame, but they were kind of like this:

I know you’re probably thinking a Visa gift card is a cop-out, but I knew that she would really like it. Besides, what’s better than being able to buy yourself whatever you want?

For bridesmaid Katherine (and Mr. Fro Yo’s sister), I got her this kick ass watch from Fossil:

I really wanted to get one for myself too, but I refrained.

For bridesmaid Sarah, I got her a L.A.M.B. wallet/clutch because she loves Gwen Stefani:

I wanted to get her tickets to see Chelsea Handler, but when I looked at the date I realized that it conflicted with the rehearsal, so unfortunately that wasn’t going to work.

And for bridesmaids Sydney, I got items related to cooking because she’s an amazing cook. I got her truffle salt (yum!) and a gift certificate for a cooking class from Whole Foods:

And finally for each of the moms, I got a Kate Spade tote:

I loved giving everyone gifts and I hope they all appreciate them.

Did you go the customized route, or did you find a gift that worked for everyone?

When it came time to buy gifts for my bridesmaids, I really wanted to get them something lasting, like jewelry. But the more I looked and the more I thought about what I consider “lasting”, I realized I was probably going to fail. There are very few pieces of jewelry I would consider classic for my personal style. So I felt way too pressured to find something perfect for their personalities.

If by some off chance either of my bridesmaids are reading, move along!

Instead of getting a piece of fine jewelry, I went the grab bag approach. The first thing I got for both of them was a bangle set.

Then I went the personal route. For bridesmaid T, who is a little boho, I got her a fun Tory Burch cosmetics bag, along with Clinique lip gloss and a complementing Essie polish.

For bridesmaid M, whose style I’d describe as classic all American, I got her a patent leather Kate Spade wristlet, stuffed with lip gloss and polish too.

Each of their gifts were about $100 total. I was really good about shopping sales and watching the clearances. I love both of the gifts and want them for myself, so hopefully they think the same!

Did you find it difficult picking out gifts for your bridesmaids?
