Do you think these are nice bridesmaid gifts?

I'm trying to buy the bridesmaid gifts online since it's easier to buy in bulk (I have 6 bridesmaids and 1 maid of honor). I want to get them a nice pearl necklace to wear with their dress but something that isn't your typical pearl necklace. I found this:

Also, I found these cute double cosmetic bags that I can add their initals to. What do you think:

And then I was going to get them each a pair of flip flops to wear at the reception if they choose. Do you think these are good gifts? Should I add anything else? And also, I'd like to get my maid of honor a little something extra but have no idea what that should be. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

    Yeah i think those gifts are nice simple and thoughtful. you dont need to spend a million dollars on them considering its your day not theirs. maybe for your made of honor you could take her with you to get a pedi and mani your treat. but its up to you[:

    The necklaces are pretty but wouldn't consider them a gift because they are specifically to wear in the wedding. The same goes with the flip flops...unless you give them without saying they are for the wedding. I personally love flip flops so I wouldn't mind getting them as a gift!

    If you think they will use the cosmetic bags (if they wear make-up, or don't have a cosmetic bag already), those are a nice idea.

    For the MOH, I would get something that suited her personally. Does she have any interests/hobbies?

    Those are great gifts. I love the necklace set. The cosmetic bag is a unique idea and personal. I wouldn't spend the money on flips flops though. Is the reception on the beach?

    I do think you should give a personal gift for your maid of honor. You can take her out to dinner, just the two of you.

    Good luck and best wishes!

    I think they look kind of cheap. I love pearls and I would never wear that necklace again.Also, the makeup bags are not nice. You can find something much better for the same price at www.theknot.com. Flip flops are a good idea too.

    For my BMs, I got them each pearl necklaces and earrings ( nice ones!!! with 14k white gold). I also got them personalized tote bags. In the bags, I am putting black flip flops with swarovski crystals and random goodies ( candies, lip glosses, $20 itunes card, $20 victorias secret card).

    I wouldn't get the flip-flops and i would choose either the necklaces or the cosmetic bag. Personally, i would go with the necklaces as i never use cosmetic bags.

    These Gifts are nice and that is something they can keep and wear in the future. As to distinguishing you maid of honor, you can get her a different set of jewelry that will be let's say pearl but different style. like this one http://www.hermitageweddings.com/wedding-accessori...

    One of my brides had a garden wedding and gave her bridesmaids designer garden tools. I wrote about it on my blog the other day http://hermitageweddings.blogspot.com/

    Good Luck.

    If you know your girls will like the gifts, that's what matters. For your MoH, do something personal that she will love.

    My opinion: I don't like the necklace and earrings, they are not my style, and I wouldn't wear them again. I also would never use that cosmetic bag. Flips would be useful if they were the color of the dress and they would wear them again, which they might.

    My BMs are getting gifts that fit their personalities. Although my fiance and I designed and had made a special pendant for the wedding, I told the girls they never have to wear it again and I don't expect them to. In addition to the necklace, I am giving gifts that they will love: my MoH gets gourmet dessert cooking classes and the necessary kitchen gadgets along with a weekend at her favorite spa (something she will love but can't do for herself), BM one gets concert tickets and a rolling cooler filled with tailgating necessities, BM two gets monster truck show tickets and pit passes along with a Gravedigger tee shirt and dinner gift certificate and the third BM gets a family season pass to her favorite amusement park along with food vouchers and new beach towels in addition to a salt and pepper shaker set with the chemical formulas for "salt" and "pepper" on them instead of the words (she's a biochemical engineer).

    Good luck!

    The pearl necklace is very pretty. Maybe you can get a matching braclet for you Maid of honor. I liked the bags to

    I really dont understand why people give gifts to their bridesmaids to use in their wedding. I gave a nice jewelry box engraved with their names on it on the outside and the inside was a personal message to each one from me.

    I've been a bridesmaid a lot and based on what I've received before these are nice gifts.

    The necklaces are only 16". That is choker length.

    Are all your attendants okay with that look ? Will it fit all of them ?

    Congratulations.
