I think they're good ideas, but the pictures you show aren't really related. They have no common theme/color/pattern to tie them together, and just look sort of random. I think if you tied them all together a little better, it would be a fantastic idea. I love the idea of doing something completely non-wedding related so they can use it after the wedding!
I Loooooove the stamp! That is one of the best ideas I've seen! All the others are great too. I'm also not doing anything wedding related.
I love the stamp, I never would have thought of that and I think it is a fantastic idea!
I do have to agree with @abbie017: though, it woudl be nice to have something to tie everything together, like a common color or pattern.
I love the rubber stamp, but personally would be unlikely to use a canvas tote bag. Are your BMs girls who would appreciate it?
I'm going to go against the popular opinion here but here's my honest opinion: are these things your bridesmaids will actually use? Some of these gifts remind me of Christmas gifts I've gotten from people who don't really know me, and I end up just putting them in a drawer (umbrella, pencil pouch). I could see using the tote bag if it's good quality and size, but the other things I just don't really get. In particular, I'm not sure what I would use a rubber stamp of my name for. I have about 30 umbrellas, I don't know why I would use a pencil pouch (maybe as a travel makeup case?) and I know I wouldn't use a passport holder because I just carry it as is. BUT, the question is would your girls use these things? I'm not trying to be a downer, but I'm just giving my honest opinion - if you think your girls will appreciate and use these trinkets, then go for it! I do love the idea of getting them non-wedding related items that they will use later!
@angarrett81: I do have to agree on the passport holder. Some people don't travel out of country, thus it would go unused.
I think those are great ideas, the only thing I would change is giving them a common underlying theme..?
I love the stamp idea. You could get them some stationary to use with it.
Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions! :D
My bridesmaids need a good quality umbrella all the time, and they love a canvas tote bag more than personalized totebags (it sure was a challenge to find a durable one).
My girls are also frequent fliers, but do you think this wallet is a better gift?
It's from Fossil. Do you think it looks cheap?
Thanks a lot everyone. My FI is done with his groomsmen gifts. He went with my suggestions, and I am struggling with my BM gifts.
No! That doesn't look cheap at all! I would love the wallet!!
I think they're all cute. They don't need to be related to the wedding, in fact its best if they are NOT. Think about shopping for them like you would for a birthday gift. Maybe one tote has gourmet coffee for your over-caffienated friend, and another has salt-water taffy because that's someone's favorite candy.
I really like the wallet! I thnk it's cute, not cheap. But I LOVE fossill so perhaps I'm slightly biases. And I like the umbrella/tote bag. I'm all for cute umbrellas. My one reservation is about the rubber stamp. Everything else I could picture actually using, but personally, I'm not sure what I would do with a rubber stamp of my name. But if your BMs are DIYers or scrapbookers or something where you know they will really use it, then that is a really cute idea!
They're all cute items seperately. I like the umbrella! Could you maybe narrow down your selection and maybe do an embroidered totebag (with name or initial) with the umbrella and one other specially picked item for them? I think that would be really cute.

So other than their dress/make up, I am thinking of buying these stuff for my bridesmaids:
1. personalized rubber stamp
2. umbrella
3. a passport holder or a pencil case
4. and a tote bag
Are they okay? I know that they are not related at all to the wedding. Others seem to give their bridesmaid make ups and jewellery and although I was thinking of buying them those things, I know they won't use it again after the wedding.
