Affordable bridesmaid gift? Is it possible?

Hello all! I wanted to get some feedback on what brides on a budget have done for their bridesmaids as a gift. Right now we are doing a little dinner for just the bridal party, paying for their hair, jewelry and hotel. With all the expenses we're out of money, but I still want to make them feel...

Hello all! I wanted to get some feedback on what brides on a budget have done for their bridesmaids as a gift.

Right now we are doing a little dinner for just the bridal party, paying for their hair, jewelry and hotel. With all the expenses we're out of money, but I still want to make them feel appreciated. Anything really small I could do? Maybe DIY? Or is a card enough?

    Sale shop your heart out!!

    So far I've spent about $100 total on my 7 bridesmaids and I'm pretty set with their gifts - besides their favorite candy bar and snack food that I'm going to add into their bags later on.

    I got each girl the following:

    -A compact mirror

    -A VS lotion in their favorite scent

    -DIYed personalized hangers

    -DIYed monogrammed mugs

    -Floral kimono robes (no words or names on them)

    -Girly tote bags (again, no personalization so they can reuse them)

    I will probably find out FSIL's favorite make up brand or the shades she prefers and get her some stuff from sephora. She's huge on make up so I feel it fits her. And then other SIL is huge into crafts and etsy buys so I'll find something from there along with monogrammed sweats for both, and some sweets.

    ThatRollingStone25, how big is your BP? Do you receive reprint rights of your images? My thought:get each BP member a frame (tons of price point options), and put a 4x6 or 5x7 of them in it. Perhaps it's an image of them with their SO or a fun dancing picture. Something other than the formal BP picture. If you move forward with this idea, let your photographer know. He/she can make sure to grab a shot of each of them throughout the day. If you have reprint rights, I recommend

    www.mpix.com.

    BP gifts do not have to be given the day of.

    Wish.com, but the shipping takes a while. It may be too late for you, but for others it might be useful.

    My budget was about $75 a person. I am doing reharsal brunch so they will get their gifts then for DW. I did leather totes in navy (wedding color), candle, earrings, hoodies with their names monogrammed, body scrub, mini champagne and hand sanitizer
