One of my bridesmaid’s is super hard to buy for. She’s very particular, and has told me many a story about awful bridesmaids gifts she’s received. I even talked to her husband and he said that really, the best thing I could possibly get her is a gift card. I hate the idea becuase I feel it’s so impersonal, but I also want her to get something she’ll enjoy. What if I got her a bunch of different gift cards to all her favorite places? I still feel like it’s tacky, but I’m at a loss as to what to get her.

What were you thinking about giving the other BM’s? The same thing, or something different?

@wstonesifer707 I only have one other bridesmaid, my maid of honor, and I’m planning on getting her a Nook Color because I know she has been dying for one. I asked my other bridesmaid’s husband to subtly find out if this was something she’d be interested in and she doesn’t want one, so I need to come up with something different for her.

I don’t think it would be impersonal if you got her specific gift cards to her favorite places. I just received gift cards from all my neighbors and they all got together and talked to find out our favorite restaurant which is Chilli’s. We got 3 gift cards in the last 2 weeks to Chillis. LOL I’m so excited and thought it was cute that they didn’t just give us any gift card but gave us something they KNOW we would enjoy!

I would love to get gift cards as a bridesmaid! Especially as a poor student 🙂

How about a spa day gift certificate. It’s the most personal type of gift card you can get I think, and then you could turn it into a little gift basket, with some lotions, a loofa, soaps, etc.

I think as long as you get the girls something they like them it doesn’t matter. I absolutely HATE when my Aunt buys me makeup for christmas because she never buys anything i like. Every year when she asked what I want I give her a list of places to get a gift card from however she still buys me makeup. Sooooo with that said, you might as well get someone something they will like rather than something she will say “I did all of this for her and she only got me this?”
