4. gifts for the ladies...

The gifts to the bridesmaids was such fun. I made the decision pretty early on to stay within a damask theme with gifts, as long as they were relevant. I lucked out. I loved shopping for fun and authentic items to get them. Outlined is what I got each bridesmaids, as well as links to relevant Etsy sellers and Amazon links.

A staple of the gifts were these two items - a set of damask tissues and a damask necklace. I had bought the tissues in Jasper, BC for 50% off, and I bought the necklaces from another damask bride in California. These were the little items that each bridesmaid received.
Some gifts aren't pictured, as I did a lot of last minute shopping for Diana and Jody, as I wanted to get them something a lil' more unique to them.

And for packaging, I bought each girl reusable damask shopping bags. They sell in packs of five for $19.99 so I bought ten and wrapped their gifts up in there. This is what the bags looked like:

All in all, a good thing. The girls were touched that I got them something and I was pumped that they actually liked it. Win-win.
