D. writes me with a challenge:
I am not having a bridal party, but I have a friend officiating, another as a musician, another as DJ, and readers... oh my. I want to give them something as a token of my appreciation, but they're mostly guys (so jewelry is hard, unless I have something different for the girls), and the biggest problem is we're pretty strapped for cash. The wedding is this August, so we don't have much time to save for gifts, either...yes! yes. some of these are traditional, some unique, some just plain random (firestarter!)... you said no cufflinks, so i included the pair below if useful for other folks searching for similar. will post a separate post for ladygifts.
I'm hoping to spend 10-15 tops per person; something handmade (of course); something unique. Cufflinks are out (these guys aren't the kind of guys who wear cufflinks)... I'm totally at a loss.
can you find unique handmade gifts for random wedding helpers for under $15 each?
for your friends, readers, bartenders, photographers, djs, all under $15:

also for readers/writers, there is a world of printed/gocco'd moleskine notebooks, many customizable and under $10.
and a few more ideas, for $15-$20:

or you could always get handmade frames and put photos in as your token of appreciation:

what do you think? other ideas? post links?
Thank you for these ideas! I need guy's gifts since we are on a budget. Cute!
ReplyDeleteI just blogged about getting some of our wedding gifts from etsy... specifically from Jewels of Luxury... you can read all about it here:

They were a bit more expensive than the ones you have listed here, but overall, I am very happy with the purchases!
I would love if you would do a post of non- jewelery bridesmaid gifts. Of our bridesmaids only one of them wears it often and then, she prefers the quirky outlandish type. Any ideas?
ReplyDeleteMoney clip would definitely nice for them since they just put them in their pockets anyway. And they find them really cool.
