So, each of your bridesmaid has different hobbies and pesonality. You want everyone to be happy with their gifts but at the same time you don't want it to look as if you didn't spend equal amount of money for each of the gift. What type of gifts should you give them?

There are different methods in selecting bridesmaid gifts:

1. Same color, Different types
Not all bridesmaids are alike. They may have different life styles, hobbies and favorites. One of your bridesmaid may be a frequent "Spa" go-ers, and others may be a sports enthusiast who'd rather spend time watching a game a stadium rather than going for a pedicure. With that in mind, it's wise to pick a gift that suits each individual's personality. However, you don't want to have a gift looks more expensive than others. Selecting same color for all of the gifts will help prevent this misunderstanding. For instance, your "Gym Fanatic" girlfriend gets the Pretty in Pink Sports Bag and your "Organized" friend gets the Personalized Pink Leather Valet Tray. They both looks different but it's both in pink and both costs around the same price.


2. Same Style, Different Colors
What type of activities you enjoy doing together with your bridesmaids? Shopping? Going to the Beach? Golfing? Clubbing? These are the common grounds you have with them, that's how you and your bridesmaids can get along. Since your bridesmaids hang out together, you don't want everyone to get the same thing. Why not buy same gifts and let them pick their favorite colors?

If everyone in your bridal party loves to go to beach or shopping, a canvas tote like the personalized beach tote will come in handy. Another great idea is personalized mini leather flask, ideal for carrying any types of drink they can carry fashionably on a golf course.

When in doubt, opt for jewelry because you can never go wrong with it. How about a "Circle of Friends" personalized friendship bracelet as symbol of your friendship? The bracelet is available in many different colors. Get one in her favorite color.

3. Same Style and color for everyone.
There's no rule that says "You must give same gifts for all your bridesmaids". However, many brides prefer to purchase same type of presents for everyone. This last method will save you time and money. Some stores offer big discount when you buy same items , same colors in certain quantity. Choosing same item for everyone will also gives you less headache.

Choose any method that you'll feel most comfortable with.
