Bridal party gift on a budget

I'm a big fan of truly useful bridal party gifts, so when I saw this one, I thought: "Now that's cute!" And since travel is the #1 trend category for bridal party member gifts, I recommend looking at travel totes and organizers, or this fun 'toy': http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=109989&RN=529

And if you live near a Blue Tulip store [GREAT personalized invitation suites done up by their in-house graphic designer), plan to shop on the weekend of 2/2 to 2/4, since a % of all profits will benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Find them at www.bluetulip.com, and call to confirm that the store near you is participating.
