    I have 3 bridesmaids whom I think I am going to get clothing store gift certificates for as gifts.

    One of them I'm not sure about.  She's an Irish gal with sort of a "homegirl" style, lol.  I don't know about GAP.

    Thoughts?

    Thanks! :)

    What about getting them a Visa gift certificate. Then they could shop wherever they want.

    "Homegirl"? Hmm. Maybe H&M? Or else, i'd just ask her what her favorite clothing store is. You don't have to say you are asking for a potential gift. And definitely don't do Anthropologie for "homegirl" style...

    Ah...I like Meowkers' idea.  The thing is I don't really talk to her much.  The next time I"ll see her is at the bach. party, which is when I am giving them their gifts.  If I ask her that question now suddenly after we haven't been in touch much she'll catch on. 

    So H&M.  Any other ideas?

    What about a department store like Macy's since they carry a lot of different styles, plus accessories and makeup.

    Urban Outfitters is a pretty general pleaser. I think Anthro leans more towards the vintage-y types.

    I think I'm going with Macy's for her.  So I've got Sephora, two Macy's, JC Penny, and Gap.  Great variety, I think.  I'm thrilled.

    Thanks bees!!

    I would buy them a gift at a place like Nordstrom or Macys with a gift receipt.  This way they see the time you spent picking out a personal gift, but make sure they know they can return it as well. :)
