I have been going back and forth to what to give as gifts for the girls. We are already paying for the hair and makeup for my budget is $50 per Bridesmaid or Best Man. I thought about jewelry and clutches but decided against since they can buy / choose there own for the day since they all have different styles. I found this cute Kate Spade makeup bag on sale (only one color available tho) and was thinking of stuffing it with little goodies (i.e compact mirror, lip gloss, etc,) that suits each girl. What do you guys think? Do you like the bag? I do appreciate the honest feedback.

thelittleone: I like it! I’m doing something similar. I bought the Kate Spade makeup bags that say “Bridesmaid” and “Maid of Honor” on it. I’m putting a jewelry item for the wedding in it and a few little makeup items.

I think it’s really cute and I love the idea of personalizing what’s in the bag for each girl.

thelittleone: Yes. Love that they are Kate Spade. I like the black/white one more. I tend to wear mostly neutrals and statement pieces, so I feel like this would coordinate well. Then again, I’m sort of silly like that and like everything to coordinate to some degree… That would be difficult to do with the blue/polka dots.
I got my girls BCBG clutches that could be used as a clutch, makeup bag or even I-pad sleeve. They absolutely adored them, so I think a cute bag is universally a good gift choice.

I love it, but I’m a big fan of bags in general. My SIL gave us makeup bags for her wedding and I love mine!!

Soon2bmarried123: jny1179: thank you both! I have been thinking of this for awhile and they bought them. I guess I needed some reassurance. Besides, who wouldnt want something from Kate Spade!
I saw them before, exept was looking at the smaller ones but my Mother-In-Law (who was shopping with me) sugguested the bigger ones because they may get a better use out of them.
