    I am buying wristlets for my maid and totally second guessing what to get ... should all the maids get the same one?  Or should I choose a different color/pattern based on what I think their tastes are?  They are all coming from Coach ... My MOH (sister) is getting a different one regardless.

    I think almost anyone would appreciate something picked out just for them. I mean technically they would be the same, but different.

    Good idea! And with the coach outlets and sales you could really snag a deal!

    I think choosing an individual gift for each girl is a really great way to show you put a lot of thought, time and effort into thanking them!

    I say a different one for each girl. It'll be special because it will show them you took the time to choose something specifically for each girl.

    I like the idea of selecting a special one for each BM.

    I ended up just getting all of my maids the same one (wristlets from Coach). In the end I didn't want anyone to not like theirs and want someone elses. They are all so similar anyway and it just made things simpler.

    If you can find different ones then I think that's really thoughtful, but I wouldn't sweat it. I am going to add little goodies inside so that will probably be where I will add something special for each of them.

    It depends how well you know their tastes and how picky they are. It would just be awkward if you pick the wrong one for one girl who would rather have the color wrislet of another girl. I guess you can always include a gift receipt and they can return it for the color they like if you happen to choose the wrong one.

    I'd definitely choose a different one for each girl - it will make the gift more personal and special.

    I am going to try to get everyone something similar. However I will be getting them either their own favorite colors or initirals, etc. Something to make it theirs.

    I like the individual idea, so I voted for "one that was chosen for me."  But I'd totally be okay with the same one as all the other girls, because then we'd all have a cute accessory in common.  I think you'll be fine either way!
