Hello! I am shopping around for gifts for my girls and wanted to get some input from other brides. I only have 4 girls and I know they are spending a decent amount of money to throw me a shower and bachelorette party so I want to spoil them back. So far I've gotten them personalized tote bags, monogramed sweatshirts, and I'll be getting them nice jewelry as well. These are all things I've received in the past as a bridesmaid and really enjoyed. I'm looking for some more ideas. Thank you in advance for your input!

Everything used on pictures, personalized or with a wedding theme were the worst "gifts". Props are not gifts.

When I was a bridesmaid I loved getting stuff for the wedding, then I did not have to buy it. Mostly, knowing the day after it was going to be donated (high heeled shoes)

I like the idea of the overnight tote bag. But my gifts, I am going to write each bridesmaid a handwritten letter on why I wanted them to be apart of the wedding and how important it is to me to have them there by my side.

I think people get so caught up in the materialistic part of weddings that everyone forgets why we are really there, to celebrate love and coming together. So, I want to make sure our day really focuses on that all across the board.

I've only ever really received jewelry for the wedding. One friend gae us personalized totes, robes, and makeup. None of which I used after that day because they weren't "me". It was all props basically.
Sorry I couldn't help on a favorite gift, but maybe this will help you on what not to do.

My favorite gift was the promise to name her first born child after me.

I got a necklace that I still love, my dress was paid for as well as my hair. I really appreciated all of them!
As for my girls I'm thinking a tote with candles, homemade soaps, a bath bomb, and probably a bracelet or earrings so they can treat themselves after all the hard work of the wedding!
