What's an appropriate amount to spend on attendant gifts?

I'm browsing around for attendant gifts for my December wedding and I'm not sure how much is the right amount to spend. What are good gifts to give? Where can I get them? Has to be something that would work for younger and older bridesmaids...I've got a 21 and 22 year old but also my husband-to-be's 12-year-old sister. I would like to get them all the same thing. I've already purchased a necklace and earring set for the ceremony for each of them but would like to get them something that's not ceremony-related as well. Any suggestions? All help is welcome!

My wedding is December too! but next December.





I would agree that I don't think you need to get all the girls the same thing. The 12 year old is not going to enjoy the same things as a 22 year old. What to get them all depends on your budget. My budget is about $75 per girl. I'm planning on getting them coach wristlets along with something that fits their personalities (one girl is getting an ipod mini, another is getting all this wine stuff). Get them something that they're going to use instead of something that's going to sit in their rooms.
Reply:The gifts you get them probably should be age appropriate. Something a 21 or 22 year old would enjoy, a 12 year old probably won't. I much prefer the idea of selecting the gifts for the individual rather than giving them all the same thing. How much you should spend is really up to how much you have in that budget, then divide it equally. But I suppose a decent range would be $25 - $50 (or more if you can afford it).
Reply:I also agree with the other two because 12 year olds like things different then a 21-22 year old would. Find out your budget for the girls and find out what they want or like a lot and get it for them of course when they aren't with or it won't be a surprise.
