I bought my bridesmaids some gorgeous earrings that matched their dresses..
Something they could wear on the day, something they could keep (and wear again!) and something that they didnt have to buy themselves.

How old are the bridemaids?
I would think maybe, as already mentioned nice earrings, or maybe a locket - they do lots of different styles of these.
Go for something that isn't to "modern' looking so that in years to come, if wanted, can still be worn without looking dated. Pauline :)

As matron of honour my sister asked me 18 years ago to organize the presents
for the bridesmaids she was having (four sisters plus two friends)
I chose some long teardrop diamonte earrings that weren't expensive
and we all still wear them occasionally even today. Classic. Here are some examples
although mine were like the first pair but not good photo.

i gave my maid of honour (my sister in law)..a diamond cross pendant. don't think i give anything to bridemaids, as it's not my culture to do so.

when she got married, i got a nice earing to wear on the day as the bridemaid.

- pampering pack
- pampering voucers (facial, mani pedi etc..)
- a bottle of good wine
- gold class movie ticket (2)
depends on what the bridemaids like and age i think...

A piece of jewellery that is simple, but elegant so that it will go with the bridesmaid dress, and yet they can wear it later on and for years to come.   Suggestions: silver locket? earrings?  bracelet?
