My maid of honor was incredible! I thought she would hold a bouquet for me and perhaps throw a shower, but she took being a bridesmaid to a whole new level! She threw parties, went shopping with my mother for a dress, created floral arrangements, made me breakfast on the wedding day, drove me everywhere, went to my dress fittings, anticipated my every need, coordinated details with the other bridesmaids, transported the wedding gifts, the list is so long. I%26#039;d like to thank her in a huge way. Any ideas? I have $100 I could spend. Thank you in advance!
What is a fabulous way to thank an awesome bridesmaid?
Honestly, this was the kind of MOH I was for my best friend, everyone commented on how they had wished that their MOH%26#039;s were more like me. Her husband bought she and beautiful matching rings and wrote a letter that was read at her shower about what he thought our friendship was. It was really beautiful and I was so touched that they had made something that was totally about them about me as well. BUT in all honesty, nothing I recieved gift wise was worth the thank you note that I got from my best friend afterwards. It was heartfelt and genuine and full of such gratitude towards me and my husband as well.
No gift will replace a really nice letter and that will be enough for her. Remember she didnt do all that stuff for a gift at the end, she did it because it was her pleasure to help make your special day awesome.
Reply:thats all you have to spend?
cant do much with that... if it were me i would prob send her on a trip somewhere... maybe get her tix to that concert, or play or show she wanted... something that she would do for you...
seems like what she did is priceless... dont limit yourself on $100. if you can find something free, but more meaningful than money can buy, go for that instead.
Reply:I like the spa certificate idea. I also like givign people keepsake boxes with little trinketts in them.
Reply:Wow...is she for real? Just kidding :) That%26#039;s wonderful! There%26#039;s so much you can do, and not even have to spend money. Throw her a thank-you bbq, play all of her favorite tunes and make her favorite food. Make her a %26quot;friends%26quot; cd of all songs about friendship on it. A personalized engraved picture frame. A day outing for the two of you to a spa, a hiking trip, or a picnic...a girl%26#039;s night with some chick flicks and a pizza (the last one is my answer to pretty much everything-hahaha)...use your imagination, and congrats on the wedding!
Reply:go out and buy her a few small items and put them in a designed basket with a card
Reply:Take some time and find great pictures of the 2 of you together over the years and make a small or not so small scrapbook for her. I made photo albums/mini scrapbooks for all the bridesmaids and groomsmen with just pictures from our wedding weekend and have received tons of comments on them. They all appreciated having the memories and the pictures (some candid) from our special day. Take some from all the years you have been friends and put them in a thank you book. It is has personal meaning, it%26#039;s cost effective and you know that she will love it!
Reply:A spa gift certificate so she can relax
a gift certificate to her favorite store
a jewlery box with her name engraved
Reply:I agree with everyone else.... get that girl a spa gift certificate!!!!
Reply:Maybe a gift certificate to a day at a spa? Massages, pedicures, facials, etc. You two could go together.
Reply:Send her to the spa for a massage or a pedicure or something...she deserves it!

Can you recommend a good perfume?
I know very little about perfumes, especially how to describe how they smell (not sure I%26#039;d know the difference between fruity and floral), but I do like J%26#039;Adore and a body spray from Bath %26amp; Body Works called Japanese Cherry Blossom (both gifts). Can anyone recommend something else I might like?
Can you recommend a good perfume?
The thing with perfume and body sprays is that they smell a little bit different depending on who is wearing them. That being said, I love Bath %26amp; Body Works!! You have to be very careful not to put on too much perfume but with the Bath %26amp; Body Works body spray, you can spray all day long and it will always smell good! They have a new scent called Wild Homeysuckle that I really love. I also really like Night-Blooming Jasmine and Magnolia Blossom. I always get compliments when I wear these scents.
For perfume I use Estee Lauder%26#039;s Sheer Pleasures. It has a nice light scent. Michael Kors also has a scent I like, it%26#039;s called Island. You should be able to buys these at a department store at the mall.
Reply:I am very allergic to perfume and the two that I can use are ghost and ck1. I swear by them.
Reply:Try the green Escada or Salvatore Ferragamo%26#039;s %26quot;Incanto%26quot;. You might like them.
Reply:I have the Japanese Cherry blossom lotion!
I would rly recommend Avons Be Kissable%26#039;
also American Eagle perfume!!
For sure those are rly good ones***
maybe DKNY Be DELiCiOUS%26#039; it might be too fruity for you i dont know..
Reply:Romance by Ralph Lauren is the best stuf ever!!
Reply:try fantasy by brittney spears. and forget her name. it smells really good, and everyone that i know compliments me for wearing it.it runs between $30-around$50. also try tommy girl. it runs about $85 at macys, but smells so good and isn%26#039;t a old women smell either, and it is fruity and floraly!! have fun, and shop areond until you find one you love. also when you go to department stores ask for samples and try them and see which ones you like the best : P
Reply:well, it depends on ur budget...on the high end, i absolutlely love Chanel and Armani! on the lower end, if u like the cherry blossom, try some of the other scents from bath and body. i like moonlit path, plumeria, and honeysuckle. there r tons of them out there, but remember that different frangrances smell different on other people. ur body chemistry can change the way a perfume smells. just get some samples and try them out!
Reply:calvin klein obsession.. is my fav sent..! and there shampoo is amazing too.! also the baby phat sent..! awsome perfumes a little on the exspensive side but well worth it..!
Reply:DKNY BE DELICIOUS ARE BABYPHAT GODDESS
Reply:It%26#039;s cheap and I love it %26quot;Hawaiin Ginger%26quot; body spray by calgon.
Reply:I love %26quot;Sparkle%26quot; by Rue 21...it is so nice :0)
Reply:no, because everyone has different taste. go to sephora and test them! you should test them on yourself to see what you like, it%26#039;s free, make use smell good and at sephora they give you free samples if you ask for the particular perfume you want.
Reply:sounds u like prefer floral/warm and light orientals. Try Miss Dior Cherie, Jlo glo, CK night, ralph lauren glamor, Victorias Secret desire angel.
Reply:Vera Wang Princess. Its floral and has hints of vanilla.
Reply:I love Givenchy Amarige and whenever I put it on, everyone seems to love it too. You can check the source for more information and review.
Reply:MISS CHERIE BY DIOR. :)
Reply:Try Hillary Duff%26#039;s %26quot;with love%26quot;. Its woody like the Japanese Blossom and floral like J%26#039;Adore.
If not try NYC by Mary kate and Ashley sold @ target.
But do try the with love one first.
Burberry Brit for woman is also good.
Reply:Air-Wick Floral
Reply:The BEST perfume in the world is Jo Malone.
(It%26#039;s worn by everyone from Oprah to the Queen of England).
This is all my wife will wear from now on.
Reply:well, it all depends on the money that you would like to spend. i use lacoste%26#039;s %26#039;touch of pink%26#039; which i absolutely LOVE. its really good. very subtle and fresh. great for any occasion ! its from $60-$65. hope i helped =)

I%26#039;m in mumbai, she%26#039;s in kerala- What to gift???
Gift her the Map of India !
Reply:A handmade portrait would be a nice present for her. Please take a look at http://www.paintyourlife.com
They have wonderful gift ideas for every occasion. The choice is big – e.g. oil, pencil, charcoal or canvas portraits. They are also fairly priced, and you can instruct them to send the portrait directly to the person you want!
The same company also has a studio for oil paintings reproductions. If you are looking for an affordable gift urgently, you can take a look at their %26#039;stock on sale%26#039;. Visit http://www.oil-paintings-reproductions.c...

Reply:This is like a Deja vu...
I and my wife stayed so far away, it seemed like an eternity to travel.
And we infact did innovative things to make sure occasions remained special.
You can%26#039;t go wrong if you decide to send flowers but if it ends up in the wrong hands, then you are in mortal peril, and so is she.
I am a Keralite myself and can fairly safely tell you how folks in kerala would react, so I would ask you not to send musical cards. It would make your lady look like a complete clown.
I would suggest you buy something that you remember she likes, then repack it securely and courier it, to her so that she knows it is from you. Because mostly the elder of the house receives the Courier and if it is addressed from you to her, then she will be able to accept it..
TIP: Buy something that she will cherish as a keepsake or can use for a very long time.
You can also send her a Gift Coupon for a Shopping mall in Kerala...
Always bear in mind that local sensitivities when choosing a gift. Keralites are reknown to be finicky
Reply:Hi,
You can send flowers and cards to her by professional couriers, because they have good network in kerala including rural and urban areas. Now I check their website for you but the website is not working properly now.
this is the link : www.tpckurla.com/mumbai.htm
good luck.
Reply:Glad to hear that you like a Keralite girl. You are most welcome, I am being a Keralite.
You can send her some interesting books, cheaper or costly, according to your interest and financial condition. Everybody likes good books to read, especially we, keralites. You may enclose some dry flowers in memory of your everlasting love towards her.
She is not a greedy type, so it will hurt her if you send some other costly gifts, like high quality garments or ornaments.
May your love long live.
Reply:all girls like jewellery. you can gift her something like a pearl necklace. pearls arent too expensive unless they%26#039;re seawater pearls.
You could also get her the latest dress or tshirt from hill road if u know her size.
yea girls do tell NO and so do guys but everyone likes to receive a gift. Give it with a box of chocolates and a card.
Reply:send her a card with some flowers
indian girls always say No
but trust she will love it when she gets this lovely surprise an extended hug from you

What grabs your attention when ordering flowers, color,design, what?
Ive ask that question because I am a florist and this shop has experience growth this past year.
We want to stand out in the floral industry. We offer already other free services that other shops dont offer. Such as pictures of their arrangement or gifts sent to their emails , so they can enjoy the gifts as well. This has really made a difference with our customers. Some of our customers have said they stop ordering online because they were recieving products that just wasnt what they ordered.
What grabs your attention when ordering flowers, color,design, what?
My main thing when ordering flowers is the color selection. I like deep, rich colors like pumpkin orange, chocolate brown, blood red, etc. Like fall colors, mostly.
Reply:i look for something more interesting than just flowers. a decorative vase that can be used again. maybe river rocks and twigs that can be saved after the flowers die. beautiful ribbons and bows. oh--and i hate those generic business card size greetings that come on the arangement. people will spend $50 for a nice arangement, and then they cheap out on the card! i wish there were classier choices in this area.
i really enjoy progressive, trendy looks, almost a japanese style, a feeling or emotion should be conveyed through flower arangements.
