BM presents what are getting or did give?

I have 3 bridemaids all with varying taste in stuff - 2 are very particular about jewellery etc and also they have quite expensive tastes.

One loves pearls so bought this today off ebay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=350089429797&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=022

I think its beautiful and am hoping she will it - what do you reckon to it?

The other I am going to get 1 a voucher to have a facial or something at a good salon where she lives and the other was saying she wishes she could have sat nav but can't afford it but I have found a really cheap way to get it and it is brilliant you have it on your phone and then have a receiver box which you buy off ebay for £35 it never fails me ever I wouldnt be without mine now!

Do you think that would be ok or shoukd I get something that the other 2 can keep maybe something engraved or something?

    Hi Shazza,

    I'm yet to get my bridesmaids gifts yet, but I want to give something personal, classy (and cheap!!). I think it would be best to get something that reminds them of the wedding day. I personally think that jewellery is the best option. When I was bridesmaid, I got given a lovely necklace. It was very discreet and nothing flashy, but it was really personal :D

    My 2 oldest bridesmaids have a silver box and a handbag compact engraved... 1 of the smaller ones has a me to you bear with a photo holder and the littlest one (dd) has a build a bear in a wedding dress.

    Have got MOH an engraved box too and just looking for something to put in it now!

    Oh and we have also bought all bridesmaids a necklace and bracelet and tiarra and the oldest 2 have earrings too....

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Depends on if I can afford it to be honest. I bought them their BM dresses and bolero thing to go with their dresses.
