We gave our bridesmaids personalised charm bracelets. We found a site (I'll try and dig it out) that does *thousands* of different charms, so we got 5 for each of them, each of which meant something to us about the bridesmaid in question.

We then wrote a little card about each bracelet and stuck it in the box - with something like this written on:
"Dear X, thanks so much for being our bridesmaid, we love you etc etc

Dancing Shoes - Because you love to dance
Ice Skates - To remind you of all our times down on the rink
Football - For the Manchester United fan...
etc"

They went down really well, they all matched but were personal to each person.

What a great idea! If you could dig out the site that would be great

It depends on your budget? If it needs to be cheap and cheerful how about a nice photo frame with a photo of you both in and a thank you card?
Or if you have a bit more money you could get charm bracelets, or engraved jewellery.
I am putting a gift bag together for my 2 bridesmaids, with different things for each, but an example is
*jewellery for the wedding
*Yankee Candle
*make up & smellies
*mini bottle of bubbly or wine
*chocolates
*dressing gown and slippers with bridesmaid/maid of honour gem encrusted
*personalised wine or champagne glass
Thats all Ive thought of so far. I'll give them the gift bags on the morning of the wedding.

I'm only having two - my MOH (best mate) and my (kinda) niece, who will be nearly 7.

For the little'un, I'm thinking of buying a nice charm bracelet and a charm of a pretty dress or something to symbolise the wedding. Of course, then presents for the next few years are sorted.

As for best mate - I have NO clue. It might be paying to get her eyes lasered or similar.

I was a bridesmaid three times between the ages of 8 and 13 and never got a present - shows how times changes I suppose! (God, I sound old - I'm only 31, lol)

Anyway, I have bought my 13 year old niece a spaceform glass token that says' thank you for being my bridesmaid' and will get her some jewellery too.
