Any ideas on bridesmaid gifts?? I have 6 girls so im trying to go for INEXPENSIVE...im doing flip flops for them..i bought them all a pair of ivory and brown zebra flip flops from oldnavy and im going to decorate them with ribbon and such for them to wear to the reception so they can be comfortable but i have no clue what to get..i sorta want to do totes but i honestly think it will be a waste of money...girls my age have ALL sorts of bags that we already dont use ...so i need some ides..
I have plenty of time but im just anxious to get started on anything i can!:chicken:

Are you crafty?
You can make them some earrings or bracelets?
What about making frames, Cd's, or a photo album?

Here are a few unique one's:
Design a set of personalized homemade stationary on your computer for each bridesmaid
Buy an assortment of miniature candy bars or your other favorite sweet treat. Hot glue each one to the end of a long craft stick. Put florist's foam in a mini basket and then arrange all the "flowers" into a beautiful bouquet
Go to the craft store and find a variety of items that you can personalize with paints or markers. Start by putting a giant version of each girl's initial on a nice sized wooden or cardboard box or a tote bag. Then fill the bag or box with other fun stuff like: t-shirts with "bridesmaid" or their name, flip-flops decorated with ribbon or miniatures and a small circle with their initial glued right on top of the toe strap, purse organizers, bandanas, and anything else you can find to personalize.
Put together a photo album for each bridesmaid with pictures of the two of you growing up or in college, the bachelorette party, or group pictures of your friends.
A special poem in the honor of the bridesmaid tucked inside a keepsake box will be cherished
Just a few..hope this helps :)
