    So I'm trying to figure out what to get my 8 (eek!) bridesmaids thats not going to bankrupt me right now. My theme is more a woodsy, earthy with trees, birds, vines, etc.

    One is a goldish jewelry stand, very cute and small for a jewelry stand. The other are branch hooks that are very woodsy too. I can vouch that both are of great quality because i bought both at full retail and now they are only 9.99!

    I like either one because I can put the jewelry that I made for them on either one and just put it in a bag....not too much fuss.

    So which do you prefer?

    To be honest,  I like the branch hooks a lot better... but I don't know if everyone would actually hang them in their house, if they would match the decor, etc. So I guess I'd go with the tree stand. It's cute too!! I just like the more rustic look of the wall ones. Good luck, you won't go wrong with either!

    What a nice idea! I love the tree branch, personally, because I don't like the idea of having to hang my jewelry on the wall. And it looks like the tree would hold more jewelry.

    i voted for the tree stand because it's free standing. The branch hooks look like they need to be attached to a wall and what if a BM doesn't have a place on their wall to attach it to?

    I love the tree branches!! I'd choose those for myself if I were a bridesmaid :P But I voted jewellery stand, because the tree branches might not suit all homes/decor/personalities as easily.

    i love the hooks but then again, the tree stand would probably be a more appropriate BM gift.

    I think the tree stand jewlery is cute :)

    Also, the hooks may not go with the bridesmaids decor and would look more out of place then a jewlery stand.

    Tree stand. Both are very nice and unique! But as some have voiced above, the tree stand will be more functional. :)

    i like the hooks! but i guess some people wouldn't want something they had to screw in to their walls to use? it's nice to think about a bridesmaid thinking of your wedding day as she grabs her coatand heads out the door in the morning :)
