    I need some help with bridesmaid gifts!  For months now I had been planning on paying for my bridesmaids' hotel rooms on the bachelorette party as their bridesmaid gift.  We were originally planning on going to Cancun or Cabo for the weekend (with several girls to a room!), but a few days ago due to scheduling flights from different cities and weather concerns we decided on San Diego instead.  My MOH has a friend who works for a hotel in San Diego and she just told me that she can get us a really great deal on the hotel for the weekend (it would come out to about $50 per girl for both nights!).  I definitely still want to pay for the hotel rooms as their gift.  Now that the cost of the hotels is cheaper I want to do something extra, but I'm not sure what!  Any suggestions?  Thanks!!

    Take them out for a spa day or something that fits what you gals are interested in...I wouldn't suggest a paintball match if it's going to be close to the wedding since nobody wants bruises to show on the day of...

    Thanks Toffee!  Good idea.  If you guys were BMs, would you rather have something like that (spa treatment), or something "tangible" (jewelry, tote bag filled with little goodies, etc.)?

    honestly, i think i'd rather have a spa treatment.  as much as i'd love to have something to keep, it's so hard to find gifts that all of your BMs will like.  (unless you get them different things that you know they will like)

    I vote for the spa treatment - what a fun way for everyone to bond before the wedding. Great memories are worth more than jewelry or any other trinkets. =)

    You could give them a cute card before going - Surprising them by letting them know you've purchased a spa treatment  to thank them for being such wonderful BMs. Maybe include some cute monogrammed spa slippers? That way you can still give them a little something. =)

    I like the spa treatment.  My husband always gets me spa stuff, but what he doesn't realize is that I hate going by myself, but I love the treatments.  So I think as a BM a spa day would really be fantastic, get to bond and relax at the same time!

    Thanks so much everyone!!  I've decided to gift my BMs with 50 minute treatments at the Hotel Del Coronado spa in San Diego.  I'm so excited, and I hope they like it!!
