You could make them some jewelry, like a beaded bracelet or something in a color you know they like.

Starsthrumysoul made some really cute jewelry boxes. I tried it out for my grandmother's birthday and now I'm planning to make them for my BMs as well. :)

I bought my girls purses to match their dresses and their jewelry (from David's Bridal - the purses were $15 and the jewelry was $20). I spent $35 on each girl but then again, I only have 3 girls. I'm also getting my MOH a gift card to get her nails done - just as a little something extra. If you want to get them jewelry, you can always try ebay, they have some really nice sets that won't cost you a fortune.

I have seven to and I'm getting my personal attendent along with my singer (cousin) so I have 10 girls total. what I did was went to Wal Mart found Jewelry for 5 bucks each. I spent 50 dollars on all that (for 10 girls that's pretty cheap)....so with 7 it would be 35 and then I ordered tote bags on ebay for 80 dollars for 10 of them.....free engraving. I also went to Victoria Secret and they have the buy 3 for 20 so I spent a little extra and got them each a body spray. I picked an orangy color body spray that matches the theme to my weddig and then I put a really pretty homemade bow around it. I also found some pretty bm poems online and printed them in the color of my wedding.....glued them on pretty paper and so and so.........I'm just saying ifyou take the time to find the stuff you can decorate things really pretty. I personally think I got them too much and the body spray I just added last minute.....hope this helps

I think I will end up going a little over my original budget for bridesmaids' gifts.

I have four girls.

So far, this is what I have decided on, and I know I will probably add more:
--Old Navy black flip flops for the reception ($2.50 each if you buy more than one pair)
--Oversized fleece throw (about $14 each, depending on how much shipping ends up being)
--Body Spray or something similar from Bath & Body Works (about $5-8 depending on size)
--Probably some type of tote or something to hold all of this
--And if I can find somewhere nearby that carries Sofia Minis, I will order a case for each room that bridesmaids are staying in. (It's against GA law to have them shipped here since it is a alcoholic beverage.)

One thing I thought was personal and thoughtful was when I received a handmade jewelry box. The bride went to a pottery store and made them for us with a little individual note. Cheaper than buying and getting them engraved.

The oversized throws are going to be great. :) Better be careful, your wedding will be here before we know it!

I have 7 girls too and I did small silver engraved jewelry boxes and an insulated lunch tote with their name embroidered on them. It was a bit pricey, about 320$ for 7 jewelry boxes and totes. I think they will like them!

PG -

You can get 5, 7, 9 totes, whatever the number you need, in ANY color, WITH side pockets and inside pockets, WITH their name or Bridesmaid or whatever-you-want on them (embroidery) - for DIRT CHEAP on E-bay.

I am getting 7 pink totes, each with a name on them - for ~$50 "buy it now" - but, if you BID, I just saw 7 go for a totalof $17.50 this week! The feedback on this item is great, too.

Those are a great deal! Very cute!

[He_calls_me_Angel]

I bought them each a waffle weave robe with their initial on it off of Ebay, I think I paid 25 each.

I bought each of my girls a shirt that reminded me of them from thinkgeek.com. XD It was a hit.

i made two really pretty hair clips for my girls with flat backed swaroski crystals-- about .15 each cuz i made at least 30 of them!

Also, made them jewelry boxes (wooden boxes for about .25 cents on sale at acmoore), painted them and put their initial and then put a pair of swarosvki and pearl earrings that imade in each. I spent about 12$ total on all the earrings stuff and made about 15+ or so pair (made about 3 or 4 for myself, one for grandma and two for mom plus my ten girls, plus i made a bracelet for myself)

I plan on getting them also a throw blanket, however, i recently ordered a couple "bridesmaid' shirts so i think that maybe the three things are okay.. dont know have to see how the budget goes.
I ordered my shirts on vista print when i was ordering other items. i paid about 4.38 in shipping for 3 or 4 items so it was like another 1.00 per girls..

I actually purchased some canvas tote bags from Michaels ($1.79 each with my 40% coupon) and personalized them myself. I made a stencil, traced it on the bags and hand painted them. It took some time, but I think it was well worth it. I love the way they came out and I think the girls will really appreciate all the work that went into them.

I'm going to fill the bags with their jewelry for the wedding, slippers, a journal and some spa items!
