I have 2 weddings one week apart from another and the bridal showers are a day apart on different sides of the family so good thing that they didn't conflict!! So I was asking my cousing what she got for her bridesmaid gifts and she is a bit of an idiot - she said she didn't have to get them anything. They just went out and spent $300 on a bridemaid dress and she isn't going to even get her anything - that is horrible!

They have unique items and some of them can even be personalized which is really a nice touch. It makes people thing that you put a little more effort into it than just going out and getting junk!
