More Gift Ideas

Monday, September 29th, 2008

Here are some more fun gift ideas for your bridesmaids from photoworks.com. Include a picture of your maids on the lid along with a piece of jewelry inside, and this small silver keepsake box for $40 is a really cute option. The keychain for $26 with three mini photo charms is also adorable. Each time she grabs her keys, your bridesmaid will be reminded of special times you’ve spent together. Or buy one for yourself to see your great bridesmaids on a daily basis!

m&ms

Premiums are the latest candies available from M&Ms—perfect for the candy bar at your reception. Just launched this week, this new collection of shimmering chocolates comes in five varieties: Mint Chocolate, Raspberry Almond, Triple Chocolate, Chocolate Almond, and Mocha. The colors are definitely more sophisticated than your ordinary M&M red or blue and can be tied into your reception theme. The purple shade is especially en vogue this fall season! For more information, go to mms.com.

Cute Bridal Gifts

Sunday, September 7th, 2008

I keep finding really cute gifts for your bridesmaids, and these travel jewelry pouches are no exception. Called gemvelopes, these chic fabric pouches offer a convenient place to store and organize your jewelry when you’re on the go. Finally, no more tangled necklaces and lost earrings! And they’re perfect to stash into your carry-on bag at the airport, keeping all your jewels close at hand. There’s a special cushion to hold earrings in place, a strap for rings and necklaces, plus a pocket for bracelets (see the picture below).

I especially like these because I haven’t seen them everywhere yet, and chances are neither have your maids. Finally, an original gift! They come in a variety of colors and designs (love the pink design pictured above, but there’s plenty more fun options on the website), and each pouch closes with a ribbon and a snap.

And at just $24.99 for the cotton pouches and $45 for the suede, they’re an affordable option. If you’re feeling especially generous, you could always include a necklace or pair of earrings! To see all of the designs and to order, go to gemvelopes.com.
