    Me again...still fretting over bridesmaid gifts.  I had finally decided to get all my maids a Tiffany necklace, but couldn't help wondering if my older bm's (my age - 30 yo) would like that.  I'm pretty sure my younger sisters (who range in age from 18-25) would love one....

    Well, I was out with a friend last night and she had an Abas Full Frame Wallet Clutch and it is SO beautiful!  So, I am not considering getting my older maids one of these.  It just happens to be the same price as the Tiffany's necklace I had my eye on...

    What do you think?  Would you enjoy this?  Is it appropriate for a bridesmaid gift for a 30 year old?  I would LOVE one.

    I really like it! That teal color, especially! I missed the tiffany necklace, though. I'm sure whatever your BM's get they will love!

    The wallet is nice. I saw the necklaces too. I am way older than 30, and I would prefer the necklace, but you know your ladies best, so I am sure you will make a choice that suits them best.

    I was going to just get them different Tiffany's necklace, but I really want to get my 18-yr old sister this necklace Yes, her name begins with a "B"):

    I also have a 10% coupon for the Abas wallets (well, through that particular website, whatshebuys)!

    I would like the necklace better, too. But I am younger than 30. As Noritake said, you know your ladies best!

    I'm over 30 and I'd prefer the necklace than the wallet (althogh the wallet isn't bad).

    I love the necklace too!

    I think my only concern is that sort of wallet/clutch is a little impractical for a lot of people... my sis has one and she's constantly having to hold more in her pockets.

    I love the necklace personally. The wallet is great too but I think the necklace is more subtle and something they might use more often. Either one would be great though!

    I'll be 30 in  a year.  I like both gifts, but I think I would prefer the necklace only because I already had a clutch similar to that already.

    I'll be 30 later this year - wooo hoooo!

    I really like both items!!! I feel that the necklace would stand the test of time and be more of a momento type gift, whereas the wallet is more of a trendy item and would be more likely to go out of style - if that makes sense?

    I would never use a wallet/clutch thing. But a necklace... I like MUCH better.
