    So I am not getting married for 10 months but I am searching for bridesmaids gifts already. We already have the groomsmen figured out so now I have to come up with something for the maids. I saw these on tv today and thought they were the coolest things... Bra and Underwear bags....

    What do you all think, would these make good gifts or would a necklace or something like that be better?

    ditto HoneyBear.  They're cute but I don't know how practical they are. When I travel I'm always trying to get the most I can into my suitcase and these seem like they would take up a lot of space.

    I really love the "ditty" bag that I have from Vera Bradley.  That's what I carry my undies in.  They're super cute, smoosh down and are lined in a waterproof material on the inside.

    Cool! I like the underwear one because it's not too foward and obvious. If you've got confident flamboyant girls in your group, go for the bras! But for more of an everyday bag I'd use the underwear one!

    Brags are pricey, but I would love one.    

    The only problem I can think of is that since bras come in all shapes and sizes, you probably can't get them all one size.  Also, it's advertised as holding only certain sizes (by range, like 32-40 b-dd) or something like that.  It's great if you wear a standard or near-standard size, but I don't know how well it would work if you wore something like a 30J or a 40A, you know?  

    I'm not quoting the sizing, but I remember when I was looking into them, the size I wear isn't in the listing as something that can fit into a Brag, and I'm not willing to take the $55/$60 risk and bend my bras that cost more than the dang bag.  

    Though now that I look at the page again, they show the insides, and it's not at all like I thought it was. Even still, I guess if you want to do the sizing trick to fit it in there, that could work... but I'd rather be certain it would fit my size.

    Sorry to keep this so long, but bras are a strong topic for me.  >.>  You would also want to make sure that your BMs actually care for their bras, and aren't the sort to just toss them in with the rest of the laundry and not care that the cups get dented or whathaveyou. I'm also using "care for" in the sense that the state of their bras are important to them, if that makes any sense.

    Rant made, can I be your BM?  :p  Also, to answer your question, I think it'd be a fun gift.  Each BM can have her own style!
